What You Look For You Will Find

Holy Spirit through Mary:  Look for the blessings in each day and you will find them. Look for Holy Spirit’s gifts of peace, Love and joy and you will find them today. What you look for you will find. You get what you focus on. Focus on accepting Holy Spirit’s gifts through your day to experience them.

Open your heart and mind to joining with the Holy Spirit and you will see the world differently. You will feel and think differently. You will not take the world of form and seeing differences so seriously. You will laugh easily and feel a lightheartedness instead of carrying a heavy heart.

Give time to the Holy Spirit to use for His purposes. Focus on receiving Holy Spirit’s eternal gift of peace. It is not a small gift. Peace gently washes away all that is unimportant. Peace brings clarity with it.

So today, let accepting Holy Spirit’s wonderful gift of peace be your highest priority. Like the tiny little bubbles in the commercial, it cleans out your cluttered mind. It washes away all the confused thoughts that bring fear and conflict and doubt. Allow the Holy Spirit to do Its healing work today through you. Your willingness to choose peace will bring you a happy day.

If you find yourself becoming disgruntled or out of sorts, return again to making accepting Holy Spirit’s peace your highest priority. Choose once again, and this time choose with Holy Spirit. Do not be dismayed if you find yourself forgetting to choose peace. Once you notice it, simply return to accepting Holy Spirit’s peace once again. You are worth the effort.

Robert:  Until we started this renovation project I did not realize how much I rely on routine and habit to navigate through each day. When things were moved and not in the place I was used to them being, it took more time to get things done. I had to look for things that I would have normally known exactly where to find. I see this as a helpful experience because I could no longer rely on my memory of habits and routines to guide me. It provided a setting which motivated me to rely more on Holy Spirit to guide me.

As I remembered to stay in peace, I more quickly found what I needed when I needed it. I still spent plenty of time looking for things because sometimes I was slow to remember to choose peace. Or sometimes I halfheartedly chose peace while still holding the thought that maybe I could figure out where the thing I was looking for was on my own. The more I focus on really going to peace and truly opening to Holy Spirit’s lead, the less time I spend wandering in the confusion of ego thoughts. This is a wonderful training experience.

We are finally starting to get some things back in their “traditional” places as the bathroom and kitchen get closer to completion. I can once again go back to routines that help me with finding things as they are needed. There is nothing wrong with having routines. They can help simplify day to day activities. The key is not to see these routines as my salvation or the basis for my peace. Peace comes from the Holy Spirit, my true Self, in my mind. There is no other peace.

If I want to experience the Holy Spirit’s gift of peace, I need to continue the practice of following Holy Spirit’s lead in every moment. And so I look to day with joy in my heart, for it is another day given me to choose the Holy Spirit as my Companion and accept His gifts of Love, peace and happiness.
