Obligated to Share

 

 

 

"Sometimes it does feel like I can hear  the voice of God come quickly like the wind and whisper a passing thought, and then ever so often I have the courage to take that passing thought and discern the truth in it. Then once in a while I have enough courage to  speak about that truth to others and act upon it.  When I have had that kind of courage, it has always brought surprising and abundant results.  That must be how the Spirit works when we are brave enough to believe in God's Spirit at all."     FIND YOUR WAY HOME  by the Women of Magdalene

 

There are endless ways to communicate with the Divine.  As children, we seem to have constant conversations with the unseen.  As we grow older, we tend to shut down too many avenues that would ultimately increase our spiritual exchanges. 

 

The Universe speaks to us through nature, and the actions of others around us.  We can receive wisdom by over hearing some one else's conversation or by something someone says to us or unexpected insight.  What do we do with inspiration once it is received?  Will we take action?

 

It takes courage to share our insights with others.  We experience bravery when we are then confronted with questions and judgements.  We are not asked to convince, brow beat or force anyone to accept what we share.  No one is obligated to accept our experiences, but we are obligated to share them.  This is the way Divine Spirit uses us to be a witness.
