A Fool for God

I have a question for each of us (well, a few questions really): Are we willing get excited and to be a fool for God? Are we willing to get excited and court that Divine Presence? Are we willing to get excited and unleash the magnificence and awesomeness within? Are we willing to look like an idiot and go out on a limb with the belief that "no matter what is going on in our lives, God is here?" 

We wonder about our purpose and why we're here. We make it complicated, we search, and we put our life and our gifts on hold until we uncover or discover our purpose. What if our purpose was to get excited about life, love, our talents and gifts, and the indwelling Presence of God within? What if our purpose was to become artists in living? And what if courting the Divine Presence will actually lead us to our purpose?

So often we are fools - but not fools for God. We're fools in thinking we are separate and apart from Spirit. We're fools because we look for evidence in the physical world when it has been our own consciousness that created what we see. Let's become artists in living where we live by inspiration and sense the divine touch in everything. Then we will find everything sacred and we might just get a sense of just how awesome we really are.

Maybe being a fool for God would help stop the monkey mind chatter that says, "play it safe, wait for a better time, act your age, don't take risk, and only do what's comfortable and familiar. No artistry in that. 

Wisdom from Ernest Holmes
"Our whole purpose is to make the intellect an instrument for the Spirit. We must become artists in living. To live by inspiration means to sense the divine touch in everything; to enter into the spirit of things; to enter into the joy of living."
