Are you fulfilling the joys<br \/>\nwithin your heart or are you struggling to discover what your joys are?<br \/>\nAre you trying to attain anything outside of yourself to feel better?<br \/>\nOr are you loving the process of all that lies within the<br \/>\nattainment?<\/p>\n<p>Are you sacrificing your truth on any level of your life? Or are you<br \/>\nsharing your truth with yourself and all others, regardless of what<br \/>\nothers might think, say or do? Being &#8220;in service&#8221; means that you are<br \/>\nserving from the joys in your heart because it brings you joy to do so.<\/p>\n<p>Being in servitude means that you are slaving away at a job, a<br \/>\nposition, a relationship, or in material accumulation so that you can<br \/>\nsomehow feel better from the outside in. This is what is known as<br \/>\n&#8220;spiritual slavery.&#8221; Spiritual slavery creates martyrs. It creates pain<br \/>\nand sacrifice at the expense of what feels true and good to you in your<br \/>\nheart.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Spiritual Service&#8221; means that in all of your words, deeds and actions,<br \/>\nyou feel a sense of oneness with God, All of humanity, and especially a<br \/>\nsense of oneness within your own self.<\/p>\n<p>I ask you to ponder the above questions and know without any doubt in<br \/>\nyour heart and mind that you are not here in this life to do more, you<br \/>\nare here in this life to share and express more of who you are from<br \/>\nwithin.<\/p>\n<p>Soon, you may see areas of life on Earth seem to go bad. This is not a<br \/>\npunishment, this is a cause for life renewal. Many times, life renewal<br \/>\nmust follow the old structures passing away first, before the new ones<br \/>\ncan take their place. So do not ever fear what might seem to be outer<br \/>\niscord. Trust and know for sure that under the Divine Plan for all of<br \/>\nhumankind, that the new, better, renewed and vibrant ways of truth for<br \/>\nall shall replace many old and rigid structures that have prevented<br \/>\ntruth to emanate for all of humankind in many areas of life on Earth.<\/p>\n<p>To some of you this may seem confusing. To some of you it is what you<br \/>\nalready know. To others, you may ask: &#8220;What in the world does this<br \/>\nmean?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It means that in order for truth to prevail on all levels, what is<br \/>\nfalse must fall away. So bear in mind that if there are any areas of<br \/>\nyour life where you find that a new and brighter way would be your<br \/>\ndeepest joy, trust that as the old falls away, it paves the way for<br \/>\nwhat is truly in your heart to come forward in all areas of your life.<\/p>\n<p>Never stay in a position where you feel that you must in order to be &#8220;somebody.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You are the Divine in physical form. Your sense of oneness can only<br \/>\ncome from your heart where you feel at one within your very own being.<br \/>\nSo any area of your life where you feel fragmented, torn, not at one<br \/>\nwithin &#8211; this is the area where it would do you well to express the<br \/>\ndivinity you hold inside by being honest enough with yourself where you<br \/>\ncan finally say: &#8220;I AM That I AM&#8221; and come to know fully, and without<br \/>\nquestion, that you are the Divine in physical form.<\/p>\n<p>Be patient with yourself as you grow. Follow what is in your heart and<br \/>\ntake one step at a time. With every step you take, know that I am with<br \/>\nyou, in you, as you, and guiding you from the depths of your heart and<br \/>\nsoul where Divine Source dwells. Once you can feel and embrace your own<br \/>\nDivinity, you will know for sure that you are here for far greater<br \/>\nreasons than you may be currently aware of.<\/p>\n<p>Each step, taken from your heart, combined with your deepest truth,<br \/>\nwill always keep you on rock solid ground, where no outer circumstance<br \/>\ncan throw you out of your inner equilibrium &#8211; for you will always feel<br \/>\nindwelling peace.<\/p>\n<p>Trust in what your heart tells you. This is your truth. And, as you bring it out into your life, you<br \/>\nwill be expressing your Divine nature, and this is your gift of service to humanity.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy as you go along. Joy from your heart, joy in being, sharing and expressing your purest truth is the joy of life on Earth.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy and Be Well.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 Copyright 2005 by Barbara Rose.
