Seeking the kingdom of heaven is a concept I ingested, wonderfully, along with the soup of my childhood. I can’t remember ever not wanting to know God. I now call God “Grace,” and my seeking for the kingdom has taken me near and far on many levels—and to many places.
I wonder what you are seeking with the kind of seeking that comes from the deepest part of your spirit. What do you really, really want to have known, achieved or experienced before you leave this earth?
My hunch is that in some way it has a spiritual core and is connected to Grace in your life. There are many of us who are seeking to light one little candle and to give back to the world part of its lost heart. We will do this in millions of different and creative ways. We will do it by being transformed ourselves.
Coaching is really just about creating a space for you, with the purpose that you participate in being transformed. I’d love to hear from you about what you are seeking, the questions that rise in you as you seek, and what you are doing and being that is making a difference. Write to me at marlee@gogirlcoach.com.
The life-giving power that life itself comes from is not indifferent as to whether we sink or swim. It wants us to swim. However inanely and blindly we are seeking the kingdom of heaven…it is also seeking us.
