July presents us with scenarios to discover ourselves in a distinctive way. Imagine being able to achieve significant spiritual evolution right now in the following article.
"But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you." John 14:26
Rules exist to maintain order in society, providing a consensus on what is acceptable and what is not, defining boundaries. But have you ever wondered what are the rules that govern your spiritual life? What are the internal structures you have built around your faith?
It is crucial to have guidelines to help us lead a rational and orderly daily life. However, we often adhere to very rigid rules, to inherited precepts that do not allow us to experience the freedom necessary to love the Lord as we truly deserve.
Reflecting on the mental ties that prevent you from fully feeling God's blessings can reveal to you a new path of light.
"And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us." Romans 5:5
If you feel you have reached a limit in the love you receive from Heavenly Father, it is time to get back on track in a way that helps you reconnect with your heart.
By being present with your emotions to the Holy Spirit, you will be able to recharge the energies of your mind, body and soul.
Take time to really feel the glory of God and the Savior's blessings within you along with a renewing energy.
"For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline." 2 Timothy 1:7
Sometimes we go ahead without much reflection because it is easy and convenient not to question our walk in the face of faith.
You may feel some obligation or command to the Lord. However, the context shapes us, motivates us or holds us back. Analyze if you feel happy with your current reality and your relationship with the Holy Spirit. Perhaps you have some memory of having felt this way before?
Today you can revisit those moments when you felt at ease with the presence of the Heavenly Father in your life. Reinforcing the teachings of the Lord will help us to be better people in our community and with those close to us.
"And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption." Ephesians 4:30
One of the Lord's most valuable teachings is patience. Cultivate a peaceful, faith-oriented waiting for that longing or that goal in life.
This is not the time to open battle fronts on the emotional or affective level. It is time to sit down and reflect, observe how you feel, and walk slowly and unhurriedly with the Lord.
Study your environment, the people involved in your spirituality and your way of relating. It is healthy for you to have spaces of connection with the Lord through prayer. Do not hesitate to do activities exclusively for you.
Creating spaces in your day will be the first step to take that great inner leap towards the Heavenly Father.
