When was the last time you felt inspired? When I talk about being inspired I am talking about being in-spirit, connected to God. Inspired means divine guidance or influence exerted directly on the mind and soul of humankind. When has God had a direct impact on your life and your moment to moment decisions? When we are truly connected to God we will have a life of inspiration. Do we realize that we have the chance everyday to connect to God or to our own egos? Think of it like a power outlet and you have the choice which outlet to plug into. The top outlet is the world, or the things of this world. When we plug in here we attempt to become inspired by telling ourselves we are the things we have, the money we make, the title of the job we have, or what others think about us. These things are ever changing, ever moving and never really get to satisfy us. This is a life of bondage to everything that is outside of us, we give our power of decision to the world.
However, imagine that the other outlet is the connection to the spiritual world. When we connect there we realize that we are spiritual beings having a temporary human expereince rather than a human being trying to have a spiritual expereince. When we realize who we are we can give up our ego and begin to see that we are worth everything to the Creator of the universe! Inspiration can flow through us and God's dreams come alive. God has placed a passion, a dream, a task in each one of us that can only come to be completed in connection to God. Remember Jesus told us that "When I am raised to life again, you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you." (John 14:20) and "I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works." (John 14:12)
Which will you connect with today? Will you spend your time attempting to please the world and man to feel inspired and complete? Will you use your EGO to define who you are and Edge God Out? Or will you make the choice to remember whose you are, a child of God, and plug into the spirit of God and live as Christ? From here all the inspiration you will ever need will flow and the words of Christ come alive when he reminded us that "the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." (Matthew 6:32-33)
