Spirituality?

There's a great discussion going on at John Paul Jackson's Blog, come on guys jump in!! He asks the question, "What is Spirituality?".

Here's my stab, let's hear from you...

Spirituality is the recognition and expression of an eternal truth. The truth is that we are intended to be spirit filled beings; as such we are either filled with the indwelling of the Great One or we are full of something else.

The reason we choose to write it with a capital letter “S” these days is recognition of the eternal nature of this truth. Like all created truths they have been distorted and misused over time, this is part of the schemer’s master plan – take eternal truth, mix in enough confusion and then even those who were meant to figure it out would be afraid of it and shun it, classic maneuver…

How ironic - the ones who generally shun the Master have labeled their pursuit of enlightenment, “spirituality”. I love watching them transition to spelling it with a capital “S”. Let it be so.

Oh, Joy?

Why do you continue to put people in my life who push my buttons?

Because you have buttons.

Why don’t I get better at it?

That’s not the point,

What do you mean?

They love me too

Yeah right?

No really, you could learn from them…

No thanks,

Ok, but I’m ready to remove that button when you are...

But their button is bigger than mine…

You really think I care about “bigger” buttons, I’m not in the button shrinking business, I’m not a button growth comparison chart kind of Guy. I just did this to allow you to see what’s inside you – I already knew…

I’m learning some side benefits of fasting, as we choose to give up something under our control – He is enabled to remove something that is under His control. Surprisingly, it's usually something totally unrelated. As we fast, the atmosphere around us and within us gets churned up…the “stuff” is revealed. This atmosphere or environment is rich with nutrients and spiritual activity– the perfect combination for growth and change. You see, it isn’t about coffee or wine or even pancakes…it’s about Him…Will you set aside something you couldn’t live without yesterday for a chance to live a changed tomorrow?
