Self-Reflection and Disclosure

At the end of the deepest longing of my soul, there was God. Not a particular set of rituals or religious order but the purest form of God...God's Spirit. My soul has been yearning for the longest for the rest that Augustine described in Confessions. Our soul's are never truly at rest until they find themselves in the inner chambers of God. And the thing about this indescribable incomprehensible God is that God is just IS. And the more I search for God, there is God just being. Just being.

So then why do I long for things other than God? Because I am human. It is human nature to long for what our soul's desire. Not bad, not good. It just is. So in my longing and yearning, I recognize that it is so and remain a pure passion for soul's true home.

Blessings to you on your journey,

The Journey of Passion

I love February...the month to celebrate LOVE and PASSION! Are you passionate about your life? I know I am. I know I am passionate about what I've been created to do. A dear sister-friend of mine posted this on her Facebook page:

"I believe God has made me for a purpose...What gifts has God given you...Use those gifts boldly..." (Leah Albright-Byrd)

I add to that, "Use those gifts boldly [and passionately]..." It is the passion that burns in our souls for something or someone that makes great change in the world. It is a desire, an interest that burns deep...you can't stop thinking about your passion. Let's have a journey of passion. Let that journey lead to world change. Let your passion be a world changing passion where lives are touched and healed!

Take this Journey of Passion with me!

Blessings,
Aurellia
