We Search And We Find

"We find what we search for - or, if we don't find it, we become it." - Jessamyn West, writer

I've spent years searching for many things.  I've searched for love, riches, material possessions, and happiness.  I was not looking in the right places though and I wasn't looking in the right way.  I was looking for people and things on the outside to make me feel better on the inside.  It was a losing battle for me.  It never seemed to work.

I decided to change what I was searching for and wonderful things began to happen to and for me.  I became an explorer, searching for a deeper and stronger connection to God.  That's what I search for every day now.  Recently in this search, I was led to a spiritual community filled with people who are on the same journey as I am.  I've been drawn to God even more since joining these new friends in connecting with God.  The universe, as a result of this, has been responding with incredible results.  There are days when I am in awe of the rewards that have come to me as a direct result of seeking out a closer relationship with my Higher Power.  God has been so good to me.  I don't always believe that I deserve the good coming my way but I realize that if God leads me to it, then it's my job to accept the blessings and pass them along to others in my life.

There was a time in my life when I could only compare my insides with other people's outsides.  I would go by physical appearances and I would feel jealous of those who appeared to have their lives together.  I have since found out that we are all human.  Everyone has to deal with life's challenges every day.  Physical appearances don't tell the whole story.  Today I pray that I will see the love inside every person I interact with daily.  May I release the need to make comparisons to others which keeps us separated rather than brings us together.  Thank you God for guiding me with Your Love.
