I am not a theologian and while I live open and have nothing but respect for what others believe, I have no desire to debate what faith is from a dogmatic perspective; but I so enjoy the conversations I am privileged to be a part of regarding What Faith Is?  The last few years a recurring theme has been:  I have lost faith in humanity.  And to this I say what I know in the depths of me:  Faith in my Self allows me to have faith in humanity.  My faith in my Self is the foundation grounded in my Spirit connected to the whole, knowing as I sail my vessel into the great UNKNOWN this day and all my days, I am held in GREAT LOVE.  When I lose faith in My Self, I lose faith in humanity.  I become overwhelmed by life as I am disconnected from the Truth, from my higher Self.  The truest confidence comes when I return to Faith, my connection and know that the GREAT LOVE of the Universe supports me, holds me and takes me wherever I need to be every moment of my life.  And to be PRESENT, I am privileged to taste the sweetness of this life.  This force ushers me into my truest Self and truest Life where I SHINE the Glory that emanates from this Source of pure LOVE.

Yesterday, I was talking to a friend who works in my building about the New Year and all he wanted; he spoke in broken English with the sincerest heart:  I just want to shine the Glory.  I assured him that he does in ways that he can’t even imagine but to Trust this and to ground each day knowing he matters and his purpose is far more than the roles he plays.  He responded with enthusiasm experiencing a revelation:  That’s what Faith is!  I joined in the fun excited by this exchange and added:  Yes!  To stand here in Nashville, Tennessee where we are planted and know that our blossoming hearts, our ever-growing LOVE shines the Glory into the whole of this world…This is what FAITH is.  There is no way to explain this but we feel this mystical connection, this Truth resonates within us:  Mind, Body, Heart and Soul.  And this sense of Self makes every single day and all of Creation magnificent beyond measure.

The invitation this day is to ground in your Spirit where Faith, Trust, Love and Certainty create a foundation that holds us in Truth:  We all shine the Glory!  We matter more than we can ever explain.  Our purpose is limited when we contain it to definable roles.  Showing UP this day, daring to live for the LOVE of living this life and being all that we are, we shower this world with our Sacred Heart, our glorious SunSHINE, Inspiring others to come along, showing them WHAT FAITH IS…
