It is natural to want to know our place in this world. Wisdom teaches us that knowing our purpose is not really the most important thing. The important thing is know that we have purpose. We search for answers that really will not make much of a difference in our lives.
Look up at the sky. Now, look around you at the earth. Isn’t that profound? You did not get it? Do it again! Look up at the sky, really look. Now, look around you at the earth. Did you see it? You are a spiritual being, existing in a human body. You are on the earth and Heaven is above you. In reality, you are right now living between heaven and earth.
When we look at the sky, we should contemplate heaven. The sky is above us and we are below it, what does that tell you? The sky is endless, vast, right before you and way beyond you. The sky/heaven is not some abstract philosophical concept, it is a daily reality that is ever-present in our lives.
The clouds come and go, but Heaven is always there. It is the air we breath and so much more. It is home to the sun which warms us and gives us life. We cannot live without the heaven and the earth.
Our spirit is in great need. It’s contentment comes from the unlimited vastness of the Heavenly domain. Our spirit never runs out of a new place to roam and call home. Don’t allow your view of this world and our heavenly home to become too small, because if you do, then you might just miss a very important part of your journey…
