The Breath of Life
by Rev. Gil William Olmstead, Spiritual Director
It always fills me with gratitude when I realize anew that my life is the result of the power of the Universe revealing Itself. How grateful I am that Breath of Life breathes me! Spirit is my essence. Spirit is the essence of all creation. Every person, place, and thing is of the same essences. Therefore I must be completely unified with Spirit, and therefore, all beings and things. Everything is the revelation of the Love of Spirit. I Am as you are.
Seeing this Oneness revealed I know that the perfection of the Creator must be the basis of all. This perfection lives within the confines of every form. As I am perfect in essence you are perfect in essence. This entire life is for the benefit of Spirit and therefore for the benefit of all beings and things. Nothing is outside of the Creator so nothing is outside possibility. I see this magnificence in all my affairs. In all my dealings with others, with projects, with supply – with all of it. Perfection abounds beyond my wildest imagination.
I am truly humbled and filled with gratitude at this truth. There is nothing that I have done or can do to “earn” this reality that Spirit is right where I am. And so I just am grateful!
I release this word into its ultimate fulfillment.
And so It is. Amen.
