Divine Spark..From Marriane "Return to Love"

Each of us on this earth are unique for we are a combination of the divine spark that ignites our soul and the growth of character due to our lifestyle and time of existence. Most of us are born complete and basically healthy. We do not look the same, behave the same or think exactly the same because we are unique. Depending on the lifestyle we lead, we develop into a creature of great hope and growth on one hand, positive and virile in character. On the other hand, if too much darkness is present in our earlier existence, we stumble forward with lack of hope and integrity and we therefore spend a lifetime in ever-growing fear due to the negativity and lack of hope within.

God created the divine spark which is the soul of man and in doing so, he gave us freewill so that we may grow and be enlightened. The sole requirement of each of us as a human being in this life is therefore to grow our character, which should result in ever-increasing happiness and help us towards inner peace and fulfilment. The journey to that point is sometimes hard and even very distressing and there can be much suffering for some. But during our journey, each of us must fulfil our destiny, often unknown to us in the early part of life but becoming more apparent as the journey progresses. We, man, can reach for the stars in our greatness, and the achievements are many in life. But these can only happen when we are in harmony with our soul and walk in our own light of hope, learning to understand the value of integrity and honesty of purpose. The journey can be a lonely one at times for no-one but we ourselves can make that journey. We must therefore strive to believe in the power that is manifested within us, by that spark which we call life. We must believe that we are greater than we are at any point in time and that purity of thought is translated into progress. Then our journey will create a truer being of loving grace and greatness. All life functions on the basis of evolution and the inevitable consequences of this is that only those of us who develop our maximum potential will know the true meaning of peace and happiness and being at one with our soul, and therefore God.
