The challenge of spiritual growth

The purest form of love is the unconditional acceptance of self and others. There is no judgement. There are no expectations, just acceptance. 
 
On the Spiritual path of Light, you become aware of this Truth. It is more than an awareness. You simply return to your natural state which is in essence, Spiritual Love and Truth. 
 
In a world that no longer understands you, being who you are becomes a great challenge. Shining your Light becomes a challenge. Manifesting your essence which is Spiritual Love and Truth becomes the great challenge. 
 
When you are no longer accepted, when you are judged, and when the world seeks to control you placing expectations which challenge your spirituality, what do you do? There is so much which challenges your very core, your place of employment, the government, church, family, and when this happens, what can you do?
 
There is some consolation in knowing that you are not alone. There are so many in the past and in the present that are facing and have faced this challenge. Trial by fire may be an appropriate phase. Challenging yourself to be all that you are is perhaps another appropriate phrase. Walking through the valleys where there are shadows of death is another appropriate phrase. Many in the past have lost their lives, standing up for their own Spirit which is Love and Truth.
 
What value do you place on your Spirituality? What value do you place on who you are? What am I prepared to do in the face of such a challenge?
