Why are you looking for satisfaction in the world? You won’t find it there. What are you trying to get from life? Whatever it is, you won’t get it. Why do you keep wasting your energy?

Make yourself an instrument of the Divine and you will have everything you desire. Become an outlet for Love and your heart will be filled. Open yourself to Joy and you will find the happiness that has escaped you. Everything you have sought from the outside world has been inside you all along.

You were created as an instrument of Spirit. You are a unique player in a universal rhapsody where each one has an assigned place and time. Your true purpose is to be an outlet for the one Original Artist in the universe.

Abandon your search for fulfillment in the outer world. Develop your inner life. Spend time asking, “What good is mine to give?” Say aloud to your Creator: “Use me, God. Let me serve as Your instrument for good.” Remain in a state of receptivity and you will receive an answer, specific to your talent and gifts.
