What truly happens when we choose to follow divine guidance instead of our own plans? This deeply reflective episode explores the profound benefits of "going with God" rather than against the spiritual current that's here to guide our lives.
Building on our previous exploration of barriers to spiritual surrender, I invite you to remember those pivotal moments when you listened to that quiet voice of truth within, followed it despite reservations, and witnessed the results. These moments of authentic spiritual choice aren't just random coincidences—they're glimpses into what's possible when we prioritize our most essential relationship, that with The One True Source.
I share my conviction that our connection with the divine constitutes "the only relationship that truly matters," forming the foundation for everything else in our lives. Unlike temporal relationships that change or end, this spiritual partnership offers consistent companionship throughout life's ups and downs. I reveal a deeply personal note I keep in my kitchen: "God says, 'Just stay with me...' And God's sentiment is that if you do go elsewhere, that's okay too, but 'come back to me,' God says. 'Always come back!'"—words that capture the unconditional nature of divine love. God's always here waiting patiently to partner in union with us!
This episode acknowledges that following God's guidance doesn't eliminate suffering, but provides God's presence through all experiences. The present moment becomes our meeting place with the divine—"pure loving presence" available right now.
I encourage you to spend just five minutes reflecting on what benefits you've experienced when following rather than resisting spiritual guidance. Your answers might surprise you and transform how you approach this most essential relationship.
