Serving Others Serves You
While praying and meditating last night I asked Spirit what I can do to lessen my worries about the economy, my clients, friends and family.
Suddenly my focus was shifted from myself and my own thoughts to what was happening in the room I was sitting in.
My youngest daughter was asleep on the couch with the Christmas tree lights blinking in the background and a fire glowing on her face.
As I noticed the peaceful look about her and took notice of the gentle glow on her cheeks I was overcome with a sense of love and gratefulness.
I began to recall several readings I had done for people the previous days. Answering questions about the holidays and finding employment.
As my focus shifted from myself to others, I began to hear Spirit speak of being in service to others. They explained that as we focus our love and energy outwards in the act of giving, we are naturally provided for. Our worry lessens and we begin to receive all good things. We are not to give to others in order to receive. We are to give in order to be a blessing. The natural return is one of grace, mercy and providence.
When we are able to shift our focus from ourselves to others and allow God to use us as a vehicle for Love to flow through, that Love automatically blesses us. We are left with a feeling of completeness, which fills all emptiness, depression and worry.
Remember, The Universe is BIG enough for all of us to have what we desire and need.
