What Do You Want?

If you want to get upset and mad at the world, you don’t have to look hard to find a reason. Motivation for madness is everywhere and easy to get a hold of. But life is so much better when we learn to choose happy over mad, sad or any of the other negative emotions that we might come up with.

‘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.” -Philippians 4:8

I can almost guarantee you that you will find more than enough reasons to get mad, upset, disgruntled, frustrated, disgusted and ticked. I am pretty sure that at some point in your day you will experience something that makes you angry and causes you to want to shift your focus off of the positive and onto looking for someone to accuse, blame and judge for why your life is not working the way you want to.

We have been given an incredible gift. The gift of choosing the world which we choose to live in. We can choose to live in a world of negativity and miss the incredible opportunities of blessing we were created for. Or we can live in the world of positivity and grab hold of and experience the fulfillment and blessing we were gifted for.

Do not waste this gift. Open it, enjoy it and share it. You will be glad you did…

Open Yourself To Love!

There are times in life when we are afraid to love, because we think it might make us vunerable to manaipulation and/or open us to the danger of having our life screwed up in some way. This fear is the exact opposite of what love is all about. It is in our receiving and sharing of love that our created purpose is fulfilled and our life is opened up for blessings and growth.

“There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.” -1 John 4:18

By throwing open the doors, opening the windows and tearing down the self errected walls of our lives, we make ourselves available to really living. Anything less is a lie, a watered down version of the truth we were created in and for. The objective of this human experience is to discover our true self and reveal that self to others so they may experience blessings and grow along side of us.

A seed grows best in tender soil, so we need to take on and take out the hardness that is caused by the constant misfeeding of our ego. Often in our effort to defend ourselves, we reveal our real weakness and open our life to the attacks that can take us down and out, if not dealt with properly.

Strength that is controlled, directed and focused is greater than strength that is unbridled, wild and distracted. We have unlimited supernatural power, but we limit often thend to limit it with our unbelief, lack of discipline and unwillingness to control our thoughts.

Identify and begin to remove the walls you have errected for your protection, because they are doing more harm than good. Get rid of the barriers that get in the way of the free flow of love into and out of your life. Take on and take out fear and any sources that feed and grow it in your day to day operations. Open your heart, mind and life to give and receive, just as your Creator God gives and receives.

When you open yourself to receive God and His love, God and His love fill you to overflowing with the supernatural power and unlimited blessing of creation, which grows real peace in all that you do…

Surronded By Craziness!

We are surrounded by craziness! Look to your right, left, behind or in front and what do you see? Crazy, right? This is not really anything new, because we have always been surrounded by crazy, it’s just that now a days, this is a different kind of crazy and everyone has a totally different opinion about what their crazy looks like.

It is very easy to get caught up in the drama of the world and forget what is really important. What really matters is not all the crazy, but that even in the midst of craziness, chaos and confusion, there is still a God and God is in control. I actually sometimes think God allows the crazy confusion of chaos to help us see the sane, stable, intentional, purpose and plan of the ONE who brought us to the dance…

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” -Hebrews 11:1

No matter how crazy this world gets, I can always retreat into the peace of God, which is always there waiting on me to come to my good senses. In this place of peace, I realize and am reminded that I am a spiritual being getting to have a human experience and this human experience, while often challenged is still a very amazing and wonderful gift that I wouldn’t trade for anything.

In this place of peace, I am reminded who I am and whose I am. This is the game changer, because as soon as this truth comes into my heart and mind, I am free to be me in all of my weird uniqueness and all for God’s glory. It does not matter what the world says, I am loved and I am love and love chases away fear, so I do not have anything to be afraid of, worried about or concerned for.

Every need or lack I could ever experience has already been provided for. Every challenge of conflict I will ever face has already been overcome. God is love and so I have everything I could ever need and then some. Regardless of the circumstances, miracles are not just a possibility, but alaways a reality for the child of God who believes and I choose to believe and live in the power of the miraculous, even in the midst of craziness…
