Last night I had to dig deeply to ask myself why I was about to click “send” in a situation that is toxic.
I had to pause and take a breath to dig deeply to ask myself why I was so disturbed by this person, and further, to ask myself how this action would be productive. Would it make me feel better, or would it drag me down deeper into the abyss? Yes, the abyss that I have been peeking into from time to time for answers but have come up empty…for years.
Most importantly, I took a beat to ask myself if what I was about to engage in was a spiritually aligned action. Was God directing me to this action, or was this my ego??!!
Well, I KNOW that God was not directing these thoughts and potential action if I even had to ask myself these reflective questions, and so I reminded myself to walk away and that if I still felt this way in the morning, I could click “send” at that time.
Within 30 minutes of taking a deep breath to ask myself these questions, the “urge” to react had passed, and I felt peaceful. This action was in response to God’s voice.
Respond versus react. “Look up, child.”
This morning, the sun is shining and I am so grateful that I took a pause to confer with Spirit.
Doing the right thing always feel peaceful.
Ego driven behavior feels chaotic and is unproductive.
Take a breath. Pause. Check in with yourself. Ask for Divine direction.
Do the right thing and promote peace within.
Walk with Divine steps so that your footprint offers a spiritual journey for others to follow.
“Psalm 119:133, Direct my footsteps according to your word.”
