Spirit

You realize that the physical body, the material world, your ego means nothing in the kingdom of God. You have another part of yourself that is where you make your connections with God and his kingdom. Jesus put it this way:



"It's who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That's the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship. God is sheer being itself—Spirit. Those who worship him must do it out of their very being, their spirits, their true selves, in adoration."
John 4:23
The material things that we can see and have, they were created from nothing, from God, from spirit. This is what matters. People who study the smallest particles on the earth are starting to find out that these particles are created from nothing, from energy. Take an atom down to its smallest part and you can only see the energy it creates, there is nothing physical actually there. Could it be the spirit of God? This is why your spirit is your true self. It has nothing to do with ego or what we can attain or get in this life. So today worship God by noticing and creating out of your spirit. Stop trying to impress others, let them know what you are up to, and trying to get there approval. Just be yourself and allow God to work out the details of life. Remember that you are doing nothing, you are being done. If I allow God to work at God's pace everything will turn out the way it was meant to, even if I do not understand it at the time.
Namaste'


So how do you live? Do you quietly walk around confident in God and allowing God to work in your life? Do you you walk around seeking your own advantage, operating out of what others think about you, and making sure that your decisions are ok with everyone else? To be simple and honest before God requires that you quietly live from spirit, connected to God who is spirit.
