During the holiday season, it is a good time to reflect and meditate upon our divine inheritance. Moses, Jesus and Muhammad came from good family inheritance. If we were truly aware of our divine inheritance, we would never despair. During the month of December we celebrate the birth of Jesus in Christianity, the Festival of Lights in Judaism and the Islamic New Year. Though we see tension and conflict all around us, yet, we are told this is a time to celebrate! And yes, we have every reason to celebrate when we contemplate the many ways that God comes to reveal the Divine Presence within our midst. If we could learn to open up to these gifts, all things would become new. Contemplative Prayer will open you up to these influences, if you would but make the Divine Appointment, at least twice a day, to consent to God's Presence and Action in our lives, to allow the wounds of a lifetime to be healed so that we might better reveal God's love, joy and peace to all around us. If God were standing in front of you, right now, and asked for twenty minutes of your time to just be with the Holy Presence, I doubt you would refuse. In fact, I suspect you would jump into the Divine Embrace, to allow that loving affection to touch and transform your soul. How often do we deny God access? How about a rededication? This is what the Festival of Lights is about, a rededication of our temple to the will and wonder of God. You have been graced, gifted with the presence of:
When you open up to these influences, which act as one, you realize that God, ever-respectful of your free will, has put every possible resource at your disposal to help you heal and be transformed in the spirit. The choice is ours to open these gifts and forever appreciate the gracious manner in which God has been here, ready to assist our journey, with power and grace.
So, in the Spirit of the New Year, will you rededicate your soul to the inward adventure of knowing the profound depth and breadth of God's love for you, will you ask, seek and knock, requesting the Divine Inheritance to be made manifest in your personal experience. If you do, you will be astonished!
