What constitutes the underlying foundation that your life is built on? How do you support yourself? You may start to answer, "With the money I make." That may pay for your shelter, your meals, and your worldly entertainment, but it does not support your life. A life is best supported by spiritual love, based on a loving higher power that we trust. All things are passing; what remains constant is God's love. Build your life on the foundation of higher love and you will remain strong in the darkest hours. You are never alone when love is the foundation of your life.

When we truly understand that our foundation is God's love, we can consciously do things to strengthen that foundation. Think of ways to strengthen your own foundation in life. Prayer and spiritual practice can help add a few solid corners to your life's foundation. Your life is a unique creation, and with God guiding you, you will find your own strongest areas to build on. Never forget to call out to God when you feel like your foundation is crumbling.
