Awakening to the life that you are called to live!
Copyright 2005 Awakenings Life Coaching by Kathryn Bonner
Living an Awakened Life Spiritually will trickle over into all
areas of your life and create a fulfilling life. You were meant
to have an abundant life, one of fulfillment and beauty and
grace.
As a Spiritual Awakening Life Coach, my goal for you is not just
to discover who you are to be, but more importantly how you are
to be in this life. How you are to be in every moment of this
glorious life that our amazing Creator has for you. Are you
loving fully, are you living fully? Are you fully giving, are
you fully receiving? Do you understand what that means? Success
is truly in those accomplishments that you find your fulfillment
and purpose. That is how you find your purpose. Your purpose is
to give and be love!
In my continual journey of discovery I have established that
each person who has ever recalled when life had genuine
significance or when they felt their greatest it was when they
were serving, and giving the finest of themselves. They received
pure joy from it and so did the individual they were serving.
Maybe you are beginning to evolve to a higher echelon of
thinking regarding what you believe success is. Maybe it is more
than it used to be. It may be that you are realizing that
success is the Awakening of your spirit, the Awakening of your
soul. Truly being blissful and joyful in your own presence and
in the presence of others is authentic living at its best! When
you finally understand what it is to live a fully Awakened life
abundance and the joy are a natural result. You shift in an
awareness of the fact that you are participating in life the way
you were created to. Your function now becomes to continue to be
Awakened and to minister to or assist in the Awakening of
others. This is your calling, your purpose.
You are aware of the Holy Spirit that is alive and well within
you. You allow for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to be your
complete guide in this life. As you allow the Holy Spirit to
take charge of your whole life you begin to experience what's
called the "Fruit of the Spirit" and you are no longer
struggling to become, but now experience the as an innate or
natural way of being for you.
This is remarkable when you no longer have to strive to be
loving, joyful, peaceful, patient, kinder, generous, faithful,
gentler, and have self-control (those are the fruits of the
spirit).
Galatians 5:25 reads, "If we live by Spirit, walk we by
Spirit..." I love this passage! This says it all! This is what I
am called to do; this is what we are all called to do! What does
this mean to you? I would in courage you to break this down
further. What does "If we live by Spirit" mean to you? Then what
does it mean when is says, "Walk we by Spirit"?... break this
down, write it out, meditate on it day and night for how ever
long it takes you to begin to have it be in you, be of you and
be you. What amazing transformation will take place in you! It
truly is amazing.
With that said, I must clarify something of utmost importance...
you cannot make this happen; only Spirit, once you become a
willing vessel. Once you choose to live by the Spirit then it
becomes a innate outpouring of the Spirit. Continue to pray and
meditate on this and read the scriptures for more illumination
and wisdom. I am obliged to share with you that this is a
conscience choice. Today I was able to recognize that I was
"void" of this when I went to the bank to deposit a check that
was rightfully mine, but it was made out incorrectly. The bank
clerk was correct in not allowing me to do so, but my "true
beautiful spirit" the spirit in which I choose to live by left!
Not for long, but it did leave!
Living and Walking by Spirit is crucial to me being who I was
shaped, fashioned, and created to be, when I am out of step with
Spirit, I am out of touch with love and patience, and kindness
and all of the other fruits of the Spirit. If we live by the
Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit"-- There are various
ways to live our lives in this world - some of them destructive
and others life-giving. Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness,
Generosity, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-Control - these are
the things that identify us as Awakened, and living by the
Spirit and being guided by the Spirit... - these are the fruits
of the Spirit I want for myself - the fruits of the spirit I
want for all of us!
Here's to living an Awakened Life in the new year!! Begin the
Awakening of your Spirit, manifesting beautiful transformation,
much like the process of becoming a beautiful butterfly! Here's
to your journey and the Awakening of your heart and the soul of
the beautiful you!
