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.

The Judgement Jam!

Judgement is a distraction! One of the big things I have seen that seems to get in the way of our advancing to the next level which we were created for, is getting caught up in judging others. When we judge others, we take the focus off of ourselves and totally miss what really matters and needs attention in our own life and living.

Other people’s opinion about you is none of your business and you should not waste your energy having opinions about others. This is one of the things that creates a negative domino effect in our life, because when our ego begins to worry about what others think of us, we start to look for ways to manufacture excuses, which motivates us in the negative direction of trying to go on a fishing expedition to find what is wrong with someone else.

In Matthew 7:1-5, Jesus teaches a classic lesson on why judging others is not part of the Master Plan for our life when he says: ”1 “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.”

Our major problem is our limited vision. We can’t see everything and perspective definitely matters! We tend to see people from the outside and do not possess the power to look within to the deeper forces that influence and shape who they are, what they do and say, and how they act. And so it is important to remember that our focus need to be working on ourself not trying to straighten others out.

Our job is to accept, not judge or control. When we get this right, others will be positively impacted and as they begin to get it right too, we can grow together, which is a major part of our created purpose. We often fight battles and waste our energy on stuff that is none of our business and beyond our control. Learn to let these things go, so you can focus on ”your” stuff and you will be amazed at how the blessings begin to flow…

Your Problem Is The Problem!

In my conversations with people, one of the reoccurring themes seems to be a continual battle with problems, but when we actually start to try and break it down, most of the time the problem falls apart. This is because usually our problem is our problem.

Whenever a difficulty, challenge, frustration or disappointment comes our way, we tend to inflate it, empower it and enlarge it, so that we miss what it’s real purpose is.

A problem is like a warning light on the dash of your vehicle. It’s a warning that something needs to be paid attention to. If your check engine light comes on in your car, then it usually means you need to check the oil, fluids or air in the tires. Something somewhere is not working as it should and requires your attention to be fixed back to normal.

This is true in our life. When we have a problem, it is usually a warning light that we have drifted away from Spirit and are relying too much on the physical or the mental. Remember life is made up of physical, mental and spiritual. I find that most of the time, my ego has written a check that my life can’t cash and I am way out of balance.

Romans 5:3-5 says that we are to “Glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.”

So, the big question: How Do We Fix This? And I am going to give you what I think is the easiest and quickest fix. Are your ready for it? Whatever problem you are facing, the easiest and quickest fix is to refocus on love. We were created by love and for love and when we are out of balance, we need to return to love.

The answers you are searching for, that you may not even be aware you are searching for??? The answers can be found in receiving and sharing love. I like to call this “the flow”. When we receive and share love, it creates a flow so the supernatural can flow into and through our life and this is what we were created for. Reconnection with out created purpose realigns our life and problems disappear.

The flow of love helps me to be honest with myself. It helps me to look within myself for the answers . The answers are found wherever there is a lack of love, forgiveness or acceptance. When love reveals these answers and I accept them, then I am lifted above my problem to a higher place and the wisdom and truth of our Creator guides and directs me to the perfect place of love where I find healing and wholeness.

Stop playing the blame game, look within yourself and discover the power of love and it’s amazing ability to set you free from problems. Accept the supernatural healing that comes from the flow of love into and through our lives. And enjoy the blessings that manifests, when you live at that perfect place of alignment where spirit, mind and body work to fulfill their created purpose.
