                                            Lost Piece of the Puzzle

     We Believe or think we are separate from God because we divide ourselves into categories, like body, soul, and spirit then believe God only dwells in the spiritual part of us.  This is not true, God encompasses every aspect of us; body, soul, and spirit.  God is in our bodies, thoughts, feelings, and emotions.  You can’t limit, separate, or divide that which you are…created in His duplicate image.  The problem is we keep God on a leash or at arm’s length; then blame Him when things go wrong.  The only place we are separate from God is in our minds.  We can never be separate but our illusions make us believe we are.  We only allow God to penetrate our thoughts, feelings, emotions, or bodies when it’s convenient for us, or we need Him. 

     We beg God to move in our lives, but don’t give Him freedom to do so, because were too busy begging.  How ironic that we beg God to move, heal, or come to us when He’s with us all along.  We are just too stubborn, set in our ways, or doing what was taught to us from a humanistic society.  It’s up to us too Let go and Let God…Free us from our humanness.

Another way of looking at this is:  we use our emotions to us distant from God and ourselves.  Instead of acknowledging our feelings, our fears, anger, sadness, even love, peace, joy, etc… we choose to become the emotions therefore allowing it to smother us and choke the life right out of us, literally.  Needless to say we become the emotion, until you are no-where in the equation.  Until we become aware of our emotions and feelings we can’t BE the Love of God. We can’t be the anger and limitless Love of God at the same time.  Instead of saying I feel this or that all the time, giving the feeling power, say I am this or that.  Example:  I am angry,  I am Love or Loved etc…  By doing this we reveal and become our authentic self, and we become whole; instead of wallowing in the misery and rejection we created with our emotions and thought patterns.  When we reject God’s truth, we become closed and bottled up.  We paralyze ourselves with our illusions and perceptions of reality.  We chose chaos over freedom after all who is going to have pity and compassion on us if we keep making the same choices.  The only way to free yourself is to accept the truth of WHOSE YOU ARE.
