Breaking Free Of What Holds You Back!

Every day of my life I get to make a choice. In fact, every moment of my life I get to make a choice. Am I going to be judge and jury or am I going to leave the heavy lifting to our Creator and Giver Of Life – God? I know it surprises us sometimes, but we do have a choice!

We get to choose if we are going to be upset, mad, disapponted, frustrated, angry or mad. We get to choose if we are going to judge and what our judgement is going to be. We get to choose our focus and this power of choice makes all the difference in the direction of our life.

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” -Matthew 7:1-5

I choose not to focus on what is bad, but to look for and find whatever good there is. I choose to focusing on how to bring blessing and not curses into this world. I choose not to place blame, but to work for the discovery of solutions that make a difference.

I have discovered that the choices I make have the power to determine my own experience of myself and the world in which I am living. What I choose to see in others is what I feel in myself. When I release my need to see what is wrong with others, I am able to let go of what is wrong in myself and experience healing that brings wholeness which empowers me to live at a higher place and experience greater breakthrough and blessing.

There is A God and God does not need us to do His job! God only needs for us to rceive His love, so that we can share His love with others. This brings glory to God and all of us blessing!

You Look Miraculous!

A miracle is a miracle regardless of it’s perceived size. What we might consider a small miracle is still a miracle and it’s perceived size does not take away from the majesty of it’s miraculousness. A miracle occurs when God makes the impossible possible and according to the Scriptures, nothing is impossible with God, so God has the capability to make all things possible for His glory and our blessing.

“Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” – Matthew 19:26

God is in me and I am in God. When I am one with God, what is impossible becomes possible. The key that unlocks the miraculous is faith/trust/belief. My reality is influenced and created by my faith or lack of faith. I can only grab hold of what I allow myself to grab hold of through my faith/belief/trust.

My greatest enemy is myself, my lack of faith, my unwillingness to trust and my limited belief. Today, I choose to open my eyes to the love and light that surround me, empower me and bless me. I choose to believe and see the miracles and blessings that flow into and through my life and enjoy the physical, mental and spiritual growth they provide.

It’s time to grow to a better way of living! I enlarge my mind and thinking by moving outside of my comfort zone, so that I may see things I have never seen before and experience things that I at one time believed to be impossible. I open my heart to the overflowing abundance of good that I was created for and look forward to the miracles of all shapes and sizes that were created for me and that I was created for…

Like What You See?

Do you like what you see? Take a good, honest look at your life and the answer might surprise you, because it may be that you do like what you see and you didn’t think you were going to, or it may be that you do not like what you see and you thought you were going to love it. Most likely you will find yourself some where in between, with some things you love, some things you hate and some things some where in between.

I have found that the great majority of us, just sorta tend to tolerate life. We have moments we love and moments we hate, but most of us end up living the majority of our lives in the “blahs”, stuck somewhere in between love and hate. On some level, we know we were created for more, but we are just too tired to even try to think our way through it.

Every now and then though, something comes along and moves us out of our comfort zone to the place that we can’t help but take a moment or two to imagine what our life might look life if we were really living it the way we sometimes catch ourselves dreaming. We think about the person we could be, should be and would be, if???

Have you ever caught a glimpse of yourself, when you had it all together? Have you ever seen the “put together” you, full of energy, great ideas and experiencing the miraculous in all directions? When we see it, we believe it and for just a moment want it, but then life wakes us up and we go right back to thinking about what might have been?

Could I suggest a different way to look at life? Could I maybe point out another possibility of how we can possibly see things? Rather than thinking about would’ve, could’ve and should’ve – how about we see ourselves as God our Creator sees us?

In Ephesians 1:3-4 it says: “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.”

God sees us from beginning to end and from end to beginning! God sees the total picture of all that we’ve been through, survived and grown from. If you are still living, then you are still a work in progress, so don’t you dare give up and don’t for one moment entertain the thought of giving in, because God has great big amazing plans for you! See it, believe it, live it – you’ll be glad you did!
