Dear Beloveds,

This month's theme of The Practice of Becoming has really been working on me, as such big ideas often do. Who, exactly, am I trying to become? It's clear to me that the goal is to allow anything that is not the truth of myself to fall away, leaving only the unique Divine expression I was created to be. But how will I know when that has happened? What will be my evidence? I have always found Spirit to be amazing at answering my grand questions, usually in a way both simple and profound. Today, the answer came as a reminder of our Vision: Revealing the Power of Love. Yes, I'll know I'm heading in the right direction if my life is becoming increasingly more loving.

Of course, I'm human, so my very human brain had a follow-up question at the ready. How do I do that?! How do I be consistently more loving? How do I embody the allness of the Love of Spirit? How do I hold onto Love when life gets hard or sad or scary? It's such a beautiful idea and high intention, and sometimes I feel a bit lost about how to walk it out. When I'm in the process of learning and becoming (which is pretty much always), the thing I count on most is practice. I practice singing. I practice writing. And I practice Love.

What if love were not a fleeting feeling, but a daily practice that reveals who you truly are? How much do you practice love as a sacred path to your true divine revelation? I hope you'll join us this Sunday as we explore, "Love as a Daily Commitment."

Much love,
Rev. Lezli
