The Power To Choose!

Everyone has a choice to make. We can choose to be negative or positive. Life gives us plenty of opportunities to decide for ourselves in which direction we are going to allow things to flow. And by the way, to not choose is to choose…

The problem with negativity is that it is like a poison which polutes everything it touches. And once we allow negative thoughts to enter our mind, it makes the work of getting to normal that much more difficult. Negativity plunges us into a darkness, which allows us to be overcome by fear. We tend to get caught up in the pettiness that manifests itself in judgemental attitudes, anxious thoughts and a distracted engagement with the blame game.

Positivity is the choice that restores and rebuilds our mind to the place it was created to be. And when we choose positive over negative, it frees us up to receive, claim and enjoy the blessings we were created for. Positivity empowers us physically, mentally and spiritually, so we might choose love over fear as the light illuminates and chases away the darkness, which opens our life and living for the miraculous.

”Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.” -Philippians 4:8-9

Choose positive over negative, so that your mind will stay alive and healthy. Take on and take out any negative vibes and replace them with positive vibes. Do not be careless, lazy or impartial when it comes to your mind, thoughts and spirit. God created your mind to be a creative force for love and a birth place for peace. Guard it, protect it and grow it for God’s glory and everyone’s blessing.

The Present Is Your Present!

Today is a gift and that it why it is called ”the present”. Past is yesterday, it gone, over and there is no need to dwell there. Tomorrow is the future and not here yet, so no need to get distracted by it. Today is what we have and if we live it wisely, it has the potential to be absolutely magical.

You are an eternal spiritual being. You are an eternal spiritual being, who gets to live in a body of flesh and experience a human existence. This is not your total life, but it is your present life and the great tragedy is that so many of us are missing it, because we are stuck in the past or distracted by the future.

If we’re not careful, we end up living life in the wring direction. We tend to move out of the present and into the past or future, because we get caught up in living life from an attitude of desperation, rather than appreciation. We allow frustration to fill the void of unrealized dreams and broken promises. Gratitude is the key that opens up our life ability to overcoming it all, so that we might fulfill our created purpose.

”But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed! It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed. For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies.” -I Corinthians 15:51-53

In this present moment, we live in our connection with eternity. Who you are, right now, in this present moment is who you are in reality. You are love, because you were created by love, in love and for love. You are a miracle who produces miracles and as you learn from your past and live the present in fulness, the future opens up and offers you expanded opportunity to live, learn and grow.

Don’t miss this present moment. Everything you are looking and longing for, can be found from this place. Live in the joy of this incredible moment and watch dreams become reality, miracles become common place and blessings become the natural by product of living.

You Are Perfection!

You are an amazing creation of God! You were created to be light and love in what is often a dark and fearful world. Stop for a moment and allow that thought to sink in. You do not need to add anything or take anything away from yourself, just live in the fact and reality of who you are created to be.

You are not becoming perfect, you were created as perfect and are in a process of rediscovering your perfection. Yes, we make mistakes, commit sin and miss the mark while we are living in this flesh, but our Spirit is pure and so as we forgive others, we should also forgive ourselves and learn from our failures and mistakes.

The Scriptures Teach Us… “9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” -2 Corinthians 12:9

Stop beating up on yourself by getting caught up in a never ending barrage of thoughts that seek to undermine who you really are and what you were created to accomplish. Our mistakes are a betrayal of self, the true self we were created to be, not the false self that our egos have manipulated.

You are the perfect child of the most holy and loving God and should celebrate this amazing reality every moment of everyday. This human experience is a gift to be enjoyed. Our growth is God’s reward for being able to see past the limits of the flesh, so that we might tap into the infinity of our Spirit.

Embrace who God made you to be, learn from your challenges and enjoy living this amazing human experience.
