Finding Fulfillment

Dear Friends,

Please join me this Sunday, August 30th, at Church of the Master (122nd & Morningside Avenue, Harlem, NY) at 10:00am for the regular morning worship service.

The sermon topic is: From Torment to Testimony

I will deal with the transformation of the life of a young man who was obviously deeply disturbed. You may want to read the story in the 8th chapter in the book of Luke (in the New Testament), especially the 38th and 39th verses.

Finding Fulfillment

Many of us, on this planet, are continuously seeking a sense of fulfillment. If the attempt to feel fulfilled comes from grasping for things in the external world, disappointment often results. If we feel incomplete within ourselves, no amount of "feeding the empty hole" will fill us enough to experience true "wholeness." If, on the other hand, we are able to lift ourselves out of the rat race of acquisition and possession, we may choose to stop and enter the inner domain of true bounty. It is when we are able to tap into the sacred silence that we recognize we are already "perfect, whole, and complete." Therefore, there is really nothing outside ourselves that we need. This concept may seem like "airy-fairy" spiritual jargon, but it is actually the truth.

When we remember that we are already whole, divine beings, we feel imbued with the energy of the cosmos. From this point of awareness, we know that we are so rich, so loving, and so joyous that we can "give from the overflow" of our own bountiful essence. No longer do we, consciously or unconsciously, resort to stingy behavior; nor do we need to protect ourselves from some perceived threat. Now, we can know that we are magnificant emanations of spirit, so amazingly abundant in every way, that assisting others is a natural way of being for us. When we live our lives motivated by "generosity of spirit" we open our hearts to allow our divine gifts to flow freely and easily to help others. Then we can offer a warm smile or a gentle embrace as a way of giving love in a world that really needs it. What a wonderful way to find our own fulfillment!

Remember...God Loves You! And I love you too!
