I just started using a GPS when I travel somewhere.  I have a conflicting relationship with “Betty” as I call here. Sometimes I trust she will get me “where I want to go” in the best possible way and sometimes I wonder what she was thinking when she routed me to my destination.  I have to admit that I can depend on her to “recalculate” when I get off the path she has chosen to take me to my destination.  And I know I will get there if I just follow her instructions. I know I can trust her but sometimes the doubts come up and I can’t help but think I know better than she does how to get me there.

I think God is inside of us guiding us in much the same way that Betty is trying to guide me.  When I trust this higher intelligence in me, I can calmly know I will get to my destination.  This higher intelligence is in us all—indeed is in everything.  It shows up as being inside nature instructing it when to grow, when to bloom and when to die.  It shows up in animals somewhat like a homing pigeon always knowing how to get back home. Fish know how to stay in a school, geese know to stay in formation and the sun knows when to rise without me or anyone else reminding or doubting it.

I am the same –there is an unlimited intelligence inside of me that breathes for me, heals for me, and circulates my blood for me. I have the unique privilege as a human being to be able to choose my own destination.  Trusting the divine intelligence in me, my own personal GPS, to take me where I want to go would save me a lot of stress and worry. I know that when I get off my path or my destiny, I can trust this God within to recalculate and give me another way home. 

I guess I need to trust Betty too! After all I feed her all the information she uses to guide me. After I have chosen the destination!  I have decided what I want my destiny on this earth to be, so I can sit back and allow the God within me to take me there.  What destination will you plug into your internal GPS?
