Friday Food is a little bit of food for your soul. A little something to feed your soul, to remind you that you are loved, that you are not alone and that there is hope. Friday Food is just a little something to encourage you along the way. Looking for more inspiration? View the entire Friday Food series here.

Welcome to Friday Food!  A little bit of food for your soul…every Friday.  For the next few months, we are looking at “Downloads from Heaven”.  In these “downloads” we are contemplating what it would be like if we got a message from God (however you understand God).  We will be exploring messages from God about pain and suffering and healing and blessing and love and peace other topics too!  When you read these “downloads” you will notice that they are in quotes.  This is to help you think from your heart NOT your head.  Don’t get caught up in whether or not God, (however you understand God) actually said these things.  Just let them speak to your heart.  I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.  Here is today’s download:

Spirit Life

Do what you can to teach others about the way I lived my life.  There are many thoughts about what this means. You remember that I came into the Jewish tradition and I brought the opportunity for something new. This something new was based in love and not fear. It was based on freedom and not captivity to the rules — especially the rules of the institutionalized religious establishment.  My way was to live as I was called to live my life and to live directed by Spirit. This is the way I lived — listening to Spirit and empowered by Spirit. Share this with those who will listen.

Sometimes we forget that God (however you understand God) speaks to us individually and not just through an institution such as the church.  Sometimes to hear the voice of the Divine we have to shut out the constant voice in our heat that jumps from one thought to another. That is not who you are.  You are the peace that observes the voice. The peace is not disturbed by the voice. Living in the Spirit means that you listen with your heart. How do you deal with the voice in your head?  How do you connect to your Spirit of peace? I would love to read your thoughts and comments in the comment section below.
