Becoming Powerful!

Breath Is Life! Have you ever stopped to think about what an amazing thing BREATHING is? I mean if our breathing stops, then life as we know it stops. Breath is the evidence of an external force and supernatural source at work in, on and through us. A force and source which allows us to live, grow and experience the miraculous from the inside – out.

Notice Your Breath! Take a moment to pay attention to your breath. Inhale a deep breath and hold it for a moment, now as you exhale, think about and realize the reality of the power of breath. Isn’t it amazing! We don’t have to remind ourselves to do it. We just naturally breath in and out all day and all night long, asleep or awake. Breathing is an awesome gift from our Creator, a gift that keeps giving in so many different ways.

“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” -Genesis 2:7

When we take the time to become aware of our breath, we are almost immediately reminded of God’s love. Breath is His gift of life to us, which enables us as spiritual beings to enjoy, learn and grow from this human experience. I breathe in God’s love, His endless love, miracles and blessings flow into my life and empower me to remember who I am. I am a child of the Most High God, the Creator of everything and the sustainer of all life. From within and all around me, I find spiritual nourishment from my connection with the divine.

Open up your heart, mind and spirit today. Pay attention to who and what you really are. Not a human being, but a spiritual being, empowered by the supernatural power of the One who created you. Breathe in God’s love, grace and mercy and breathe out love, grace and mercy to others. This participation with divinity is our super power to transform lives and change this world we live in.

Learn Your Lesson!

Have you heard the quote: ”Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.”? From the best I can tell, this quote most likely comes from the writer and philosopher George Santayana, and in it’s original form he said: ”Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Santayana attended Boston Latin School and Harvard College, where he studied under the philosophers William James and Josiah Royce. He later became a professor in philosophy at Harvard.

Santayana’s philosophy, in a nutshell teaches that ”History repeats itself!” Ancient philosophy teaches that life is a spiral that presents us with lessons and when we fail to learn the lesson life presents, then life has a way of bringing the lesson back around again and again, until we do get it. It may be in the same form or in a totally different form, but its purpose is always the same, it is to instruct, grow and develop us into all we are created for.

”What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.” -Ecclesiates 1:9

When things in life are not working, then there is something for us to learn. Failure to learn has consequences and will cost us something. When something is not working in our life, then we need to take this as an indication that there are parts of our mind, body and spirit that need integration.

This requires that we take on our ego, because we are so much more than what we have, what we do or who people think we are. If we are paying attention then this life is trying to teach us something. When we get what it’s teaching us, then we are heading to an amazing place.

What is this life trying to teach you? How are you going to learn from your mistakes? When will you start making decisions to integrate your life? Where are you heading with your decision or indecision? Why are you waiting? Seize the now, learn your lesson and grow your life! You will be glad you did…

Everything You’re Looking For Outside Can Be Found Inside!

All You Need Is Inside! Sometimes I like to be in a group of people and at other times I like to be by myself. There have been times when I was all by myself and I wished that I was in a group of people. One of the things I am learning is that even when it seems as if I am all alone, I am really not. God has promised that He will never leave me or forsake me, but that He will always be right here within me.

Sometimes It’s Tough! Life can be hard, difficult and a challenge, but that does not mean God is absent. Just because we cannot feel His loving embrace does not mean that we are not wrapped up in it. This is why God has given us the amazing gift of faith – ”the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.”

The Sun Always Shines! There are times during the day and night when we cannot see the sun, yet we know it is there and will shine again tomorrow. God would never turn his look of love away from us, but He would allow us the option of making the choice about what we choose to focus on, which is an incredible indication of just how much God really does love us. There is never a prayer that we will pray that God does not answer. We may not get the response we are looking for, but at the proper time, we will for sure get a yes, no or wait.

”Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.” -Deuteronomy 31:6

God is everywhere, but most especially in our heart, mind and soul. When our thoughts are not His thoughts, He speaks to us in a multitude of different ways to try to get our attention and redirect our thoughts, so that they might travel to the place of peace We were created for. His comfort is always one prayer of understanding away, if we will just pray and believe.

There is nowhere we can go to escape His wisdom and no place we can hide to get away form His power. He teaches us from the inside out how to live from the outside in. He Who is Love created us in love to receive love, share love and be love. When We live in the flow of His unconditional love, We are delivered from our fears, pains and any negativity that would attempt to rob us of our created purpose. We can’t do this thing called life by ourself and the good news is that we don’t have to, because God is within…
