After my meditation and conversation with my soul today it finally clicked with me that the difference between hope and faith is momentum. A friend shared in a meeting the other day that faith is an activity. That really struck me this morning as I was aligning my heart with my Joy. When I concentrate on hoping a situation gets better all I really have is hope. Hope is a wonderful place to start it is the spark that leads me into my faith. I watched many runners this morning on my walk and I thought to myself, they don't get strong legs by hoping their legs will get stronger, they actively seek opportunities to be physically active in order to get stronger legs and healthier bodies. Take those same runners and fast forward 4 weeks, if they do not continue to pursue that which made them physically stronger in the first place their bodies will regress. I translate that to my spirituality quite easily now. If I do not carry that momentum of faith in God's will for me, my will for me, my perfection of being in alignment with the source, I will regress. I don't fear that I will return to the state from whence I came, I just know that no further growth forward is going to continue. Their is power in my will to be well, my heart to be enlightened, my desire to awaken other hearts. I cannot control who hears my soul anymore than I could control who gets cancer, that doesn't mean I have to stop sending out Love to all I come in contact with. There is no opposite of Love :o)
