The Purpose of My To Do List
Today I started feeling overwhelmed with my to do list and I asked for help. First, Holy Spirit revealed to me a bit about self-hatred and how the ego goes to great lengths to preserve self-hatred, for it keeps the ego in charge. I wrote a whole article on that experience!
Then Holy Spirit said, “Mary the ego tries to make life meaningful by giving you a to do list. Your activities today are not a to do list. They are your ministry. Don’t be in a rush to finish your to do list. Be with your to do list. It is an opportunity to do God’s work. That is its only purpose. It is like having a ‘street ministry.’ The disciples walked from town to town among the people, empowered by Holy Spirit so people could meet Holy Spirit. That is what all of your activities in the world are for — so people can meet Holy Spirit. Stop feeling like this daily stuff is getting in the way of your ministry; that you have to get it all done as soon as possible so you can get back to work. This is your work. It is your ministry! All of it!” Then I remembered awhile ago asking for help with all of this and Holy Spirit opened up to Lesson 353: “My eyes, my tongue, my hands, my feet today have but one purpose; to be given Christ to use to bless the world with miracles.”
When I opened up to that a couple of months ago, I felt I had been given my purpose. Thank you for being willing to step back and let Inspiration guide. It isn’t the popular path, but is the path that I can trust.
