Willing To Be Willing...

The other day...Sunday, I do believe, I posted about the Do No Harm site.  From there, I ended up at blog called Becoming Awakened.   One of the recent posts captured my attention.  It was called  Willingness To Evolve Spiritually

A snippet from the post:

When you have that compulsion to find something bigger, deeper, higher, and infinitely more real than anything you have ever known, nothing will hinder your search. We are pulled by an invisible web - a web connecting the universe, and we are grasping to become that something which is at the deepest level of our being. We feel choicelessly compelled to reach for it, not knowing what that "it" is.

Again...verses come to mind (from the "noggin's" dusty archives) that pretty much say the same thing....


Philippians  12:13 ...for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. NIV

And from the Amplified:

[Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight.

And what is his good pleasure and delight?  What is his good purpose?  That we all come into the realization of "the Christ in you, the hope of glory" and learn to live out of that nature. Have this mind in you that was also in Christ Jesus.  Tap into the Stillness, the Presence, the I AM...the Christ....the light that lights every man that comes into the world.....

You have no idea how yet again you wrote that post just for me.

You did, didn't you? Because everything is about me and the quicker you learn that the easier it will be for thee :)

Seriously, thanks, and thanks for those verses. I think I actually feel inspired to go off and read me some Bible (weird! Mr Wuest, who I forgot I even had, calleth me)

I have felt the nudge lately to get more involved in the church Emily goes to. I have gone haphazardly for the past few years..but over the last year I haven't gone much at all. I think we all have a home faith and a "home" spiritual book that speaks to us the most deeply. When I read spiritual truths in other sources (and there are so many) I think of Bible verses that say the same thing. I am thrilled to hear his voice in other places. It just confirms to me how big...how mind blowingly big he really is!!!
