A Spiritual Springtime

The following are signs of a bright, clear, fresh, springtime of spiritual awakening.

There is an increased tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen. We let go and let God.

There are frequent attacks of smiling. There is a peace within us that is beyond human understanding; our heart wells up with joy that spills all over our face.

There are feelings of being connected with others and nature. We are all the beloved creatures and creation of God.

There are frequent overwhelming episodes of appreciation. We are grateful for everything given to us by God; we recognize that he is Our Loving Father who takes care of us and all is for our greater good.

There is a tendency to think and act spontaneously rather to think and act out of fear and trepidation. We follow God given inspirations to do what is good and avoid what is evil.

There is an unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment. We live in the present totally and completely.

There is a loss of ability to worry. We trust in God, in his providential plan. We place ourselves in God’s Hands.

There is a loss of interest in conflict. There is so much to do for the Kingdom of God , we must stay on task. We must remain focused on our mission, not allow ourselves to be distracted or diverted from our purpose in life.

There is a loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others.

There is a loss of interest in judging others. God is the only Judge we must all face; he alone reads each human heart.

There is a loss of interest in judging our self. God know us and loves us.

We are gaining the ability to love without expecting anything in return. We give because we want to give; we give out of the fullness which has been given to us by God. The more we give, the more we receive from God.
