There are times when what used to be
a thriving business, environment or relationship is
no longer as alive as before. You find that the
people that are involved are starting to drift away
as they lose interest in keeping it going. Even you
yourself also find that your heart is no longer in
it. Yet you still put in energy into it because it
will soon be gone if nobody tries to preserve it.
But what makes you think that God wants you to
preserve it? Maybe he wants it to be destroyed, so
that he can create something new.
You know what God wants you
to do by the things he inspire you to create. There
was something great that you were once inspired
into creating. You have a lot of joy and
fulfillment creating and experiencing it. But now
you no longer feel the same way as before. Try as
you might, you just no longer feel the inspiration
that was there. You think that since God had led
you to create it in the first place, he must want
you to continue doing it. You try to revive the
passion but it seems to take a lot of energy for
it.
The truth is that it was
good for that moment, but a new moment has come and
so it's time for a new thing. Something may have
been great when it started and continued to be so
for a certain period of time, but when the time
comes where it seems to die out, it doesn't mean
that it wasn't worth undertaking in the first place
since it didn't last forever. It was the perfect
thing to do at the perfect time when it was
inspired to be done. When it has finished serving
its purpose, it is the perfect time for it to
end.
Nothing really goes away
completely, it merely changes form. The effect of a
previous work or experience will continue to be
part of a new work or experience. Had it not been
done in the first place, it would not existed to
impact the new work in profound and significant
ways. There is nothing that is wasted or in vain.
Any work that was done at a time when it was
inspired to be created would have its place in
influencing the universal scheme of things in
eternity and everything else that is connected to
it.
Since you know that God
leads you by your heart's desire, why are you
hanging on to the relationship or the work that
your heart is no longer in? It is because you are
afraid to lose what you have. The truth is you are
not losing anything at all. God wants you to move
on to the next experience that will be even better
than the one before. Let go of the relationship or
business that you no longer desire to be a part of.
Let go of the old to make way for the new. Learn to
let go and you will always be abundant.
In every moment you are in,
always allow yourself to be naturally driven in
your actions. When you choose to be in-spired or
in-spirit, you will always be guided as to when to
do what. If you find yourself trying to keep
something going when you are no longer inspired to
do so, then you are trying to drive the process,
rather than letting yourself be driven. Whenever
that happens, you know it's not going to work
because it's not what God wants. Let things happen
through you rather than making things
happen.
When you act according to
what you're most inspired to do in every moment,
you are also allowing things to happen in divine
order. The ordinary order of things that the world
has in mind is to follow through from one step to
what is logically the next until completion. But
when you follow spirit instead of ordinary logic,
people may think you are disorderly and not doing
things properly. When you follow spirit, you are
following a higher logic where things are done not
in the usual form of order but in divine
order.
Spirit may give you an idea
to create a product and so you act on the inspired
idea and finish creating the product. According to
ordinary order of things, the next logical step is
to market it and sell it to the world. But if you
are not inspired to do the next step because you
feel like creating something else instead, then
that's what spirit is guiding you towards. Spirit
has guided you to create it for the moment and then
to put it aside and do something else. It is
probably not the right timing to release it
yet.
Therefore by obeying
spirit, you leave it on a shelf and go work on
something else. To the world, it may seem that you
are leaving something half done which is not
exactly the characteristic of someone who is
successful. But some time go by, maybe even years
later and then you are inspired to take the product
you previously created and release it to the world.
That is when it becomes a mega success because it
was the right timing. That is how acting in divine
order and timing produces the best results.
You could also have chosen
to force yourself to follow through on the ordinary
order of things even though you are not inspired to
do so just because you think that is the way it has
to be done. But when you do it that way, you end up
wondering why it turns out to be a flop and start
to wonder whether you were really inspired to
create it in the first place. Even when you are
guided to release it at that time, the results may
come much later in divine order and timing. So
trust and obey spirit in every moment.
