I've never felt that God's request of me when I was six years old was a burden in some way. I accepted the moment as truth and made every attempt as I aged to do as I was asked.
Have I been an imperfect human being? Yes. Have I been faithful to God? Not always. Is God okay with that? Yes. If we were meant to be pure, we'd be born a spiritual being. Instead we are born imperfect with the purpose of seeking our spiritual self, which is our soul. It's not an easy journey to find one's soul, but when you do, life takes on a whole new meaning. When I think back to that conversation with God at six years old and trace forward to where I am today I see something consistent. I see myself being compassionate. Never really concerned about myself, but quite concerned about how others are doing. I've been told that this type of behaviour is done so that someone doesn't have to deal with their own pain. That is false. Loving others helped me to learn to love myself in the same way. Love trumps everything. There isn't one person on this planet who isn't able to attain personal peace. We all have the ability to do that. For that to happen you have a very simple formula to follow: Loving your higher power unconditionally + loving yourself unconditionally + loving others unconditionally = Being You. (Impossible, you say? Nothing is impossible unless you believe its impossible). When you trust the formula, you will have found your soul. <3
