Evening Reflection
It has been my experience that sensing and following subtle direction from deep within yields a far better outcome than going with my own thinking. Even if I cannot really know what the outcome would have been had I chosen a different action, I do know when I have followed the inner leading. And it is there, in that space, that life asks, Do you want to dance?
Dancing is a partnership. Even dancing alone is usually in relationship with music. In terms of dancing with Spirit, the question is, Do I want to live in relationship with Spirit, or try to do it all myself?
I can feel the difference when Spirit emanates from within. There is an excitement that comes from recognizing the living, person-specific guidance of God. When I feel the excitement born of that recognition, I know it is wise to go with it. I don’t have to, of course, but there is a reason for this inner excitement. I have had many experiences of not going with the feeling in my gut and having things not work out that otherwise may have-if I had just followed my gut. (I have come to understand my gut as God-Using-Tummy to get me a message.)
How was your dance with Spirit today?
