Are We There Yet?

Most of us have experienced the negative side of life, some more than others.  The more difficult it gets the more impatience most of us become.  Sooner or later the question runs through our mind “are we there yet?”  The journey seems long especially when times are difficult.

Have you arrived?  Most of us can answer this with a resounding NO.  For those few that think they have well ......  So, here we are wondering how to get there, so that we are not here.  Getting there is the problem.

We have got to change out stinkin thinkin.  As long as we are trying to get somewhere else it will never happen.  It is like trying to find God somewhere out in the nether world.  God is in you and me.  Within each of us resides the place we are seeking.

We have been programmed from birth to find peace, joy, success and happiness outside of our self.  Remember, we are born poor miserable wretches that desperately seek love and approval from a God who lives far, far away.  I say BULL.

God, the Creator of the universe not only loves us, but dwells within us.  God is not external to you and I.  God has chosen a unique way to communicate with us.  First, the God of creation decided to make a home within our body.  This home is our Soul.

You and I are spiritual beings on a physical journey.  The entity that operates our life is our Soul.  Our Soul works hand in hand with God, for it is a spark of God’s fire.  From the day we were born until this body dies our Soul resides deep within our physical body, God within us.

So, what is it that we seek far away?  What is it that we are looking for?  Where do we need to look to find that special place?  Try looking within.
