Spirituality and Ministries
There are numerous questions about spirituality and ministries of spirituality. Maybe the biggest questions is “Why Am I Here” (“Here” meaning, here on earth).
Knowing the answer to that question can be difficult for many people, yet others have found a true reason for being “here”
If you have not found the answer to this question and it bothers you, maybe you could think of it as something to do with having a minor role or major role in helping another person achieve something great — yet, you may not even be aware of the great achievement.
A very popular Christmas Movie “Its A Wonderful Life” with Jimmy Stewart, shows us all the many ways we influence great deeds of other people, just by being in their life. And, if we were not “here” sometimes horrible things would happen.
Therefore, instead of continually asking “Why Am I Here” You could simply be confident that your purpose for being here is being fulfilled just by living your life the best way you can at any given moment.
One of my most favorite books on Spirituality is:
The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz
In the Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz gives us 4 Ways to Live Life Spiritually. Now this may sound simple, however the very 1st Agreement is incredibly hard to acheive …
Agreement 1) Be Impeccable With Your Words
What this means is avoid using your word (the word) to speak against yourself or others.
However, if you can accomplish the first Agreement, the next three will be a breeze …
Agreement 2) Don’t Take Anything Personally
Agreement 3) Don’t Make Assumptions
Agreement 4) Always Do Your Best
I found this book very enlightening and am sure it can be very helpful to you and your ministries too.
Something else I have found to be very helpful is Ho Oponopono. This particular guidance also sounds incredibly easy, however it is very, very hard.
Basically, you are to realize EVERYTHING that is happening in your life right now is because of something “within” you. It doesn’t mean you caused it, it just means you have the means to control it. For example, if you know someone is having a hard time with something, you would say/pray to yourself:
“Whatever it is within me that is causing “so&so” to experience “such&such” I ask that Divinity delete it from me as well as my ancestors. I appreciate and love that we are experiencing this. I thank you that we are experiencing this. I am sorry that this that is within me is causing such pain, I ask that it be released and removed from me. Thank You, I Love You”
This gives you great control when you take responsibility for EVERYTHING. It means you are no longer a victim and you can release and let go of whatever it is that may be causing the pain within you or someone else. You can learn more about Ho Oponopono here.
I hope these few words help with your spirituality & ministries!
