25 Days of Christ and Christmas - Sacrifice (14)

Sacrifice means letting go of something in order to move higher.

We move from a lower expectation to a higher one.

We sacrifice the lower one, because it leads to a higher way of living.

We no longer need to hang onto what the earlier practice meant to us.

We are ready to move onward and upward.

As we are growing in ways which we desire, we may also have to let go of things which meant something to us with our former focus.

Sometimes it is a surprise to discover what those things are.

We still want to maintain their presence in our lives.

But we cannot, not and move forward and upward.

Our growing expression is in terms of the Infinite, not our own personal life plans.

We simply lack the viewpoint of the Infinite.

We are not equipped to make those choices.

And so we sacrifice.

We give up one thing for another, a better thing, a higher thing.

And this happens over and over again, as we refine our purpose and our identity in terms of the Infinite.
