I spoke to a friend today. He told me that a spiritualist told him something about himself and he wasn’t sure if it was true. It isn’t my place to say what he was told about himself. That is his story to tell, but I did tell him about myself. I told him that I have been writing this blog. I said that through prayer and meditation, I have come to believe that I am God’s servant and messenger. I am here to let others know that we aren’t alone and that if I share that message with just one other person, then I know that my life will have been meaningful.
The idea that someone is God’s messenger seems like an outlandish idea. It isn’t the type of thing I would go around proclaiming at the top of my lungs down the street. I would probably have to see a mental health professional at the very least. Yet, I have faith. I know that if I believe something, then miracles can happen. I truly believe in my heart that I have this calling: to share a message from God. Since I believe it, I know God will work through me and amazing things will come out of it.
I share all of this with my friend and I explained to him that if he really believed in himself that no matter how crazy or outlandish the idea was, he could make miracles happen. I told him, it doesn’t matter what anyone else believes about you. It doesn’t matter what the world thinks about you. All that matters is what you believe about yourself. If you approach life with an open heart and open eyes, then God will work through you. When I say goodbye, I told him, “Just remember to keep believing in yourself because God believes in you.” God is here for all of us, if we only open our hearts to Him.
My faith saved me. May God’s peace reside in all of our hearts.
