Get up and GO!

When I was in Ministerial school, I contemplated some of the teachings of Jesus. In particular, I was very interested in all the experiences of healing that people had around Jesus.

The story of the man that Jesus told “take up your bed and walk” particularly struck me. When I tuned into the story, what I felt was that this man had been lying in the past. He’d made his bed in the past. His “story” was the bed. He was wallowing in the meaning he’d made of the past.

In the presence of the awakened awareness that Jesus has, this man was able to suddenly see the mis-take he’d been making and to shift out of it and into the present moment, aware that he was free to let go of the story and move on.

Sometimes, that’s all it takes. It takes one other person standing with you in the agreement that you can lay the burden down and move forward.

In our daily prayers, that’s what we do – we agree to get up and GO together!

Affirmation:

I AM willing to let go and move onward and upward!
