In
time, as life unfolds, we learn that we have to make
decisions and those decisions are not always easy for us
to make. As we grow and change our direction, our
desires, our hopes, our dreams, our own understanding
takes shape and fashions itself more like our creator.
As we shape and fashion our lives to be more like our
creator we learn to follow His plan for our lives. We
are made in the likeness of God; we are a created spirit
housed in this mortal body. We learn as we mature in
the ways of God to follow our heart, the inner man, the
spirit of man, to not follow the intellect of our mortal
nature but to follow the hidden man of the heart, the
“real you.” As we learn to be led through our lives by
our spirit we find that our desires change and the
things we pursue may be different than we first
imagined. We are to follow our heart, His plan, our
desires, His plan, our hopes, His plan, and as we do we
begin to experience that our needs are fulfilled and our
life becomes brand new.
It
is based upon our obedience to follow His plan. If we
will pursue the plans that He has for us and be able to
broaden our visions to see through His eyes we will find
the liberty to live free from worry, free from the
heartache, free from the pains of guilt; because we have
chosen to follow Him. If we follow Him and learn of His
ways we are not promised to never suffer but we are
promised that He will be there with us; and as we learn
to lean and rely upon Him. He takes our burdens and
exchanges our burdens for His burdens. Our focus
changes from fulfilling our own plan; we find ourselves
with a new life mentality; and we discover that all of
our problems have dissipated in and through His
Light--They have miraculously been solved. The reason
He takes the burden is because we have learned to trust
Him and believe that He will take care of our every
need.
These statements have been repeated so many times that
many of us only hear words and not the true depths of
the meaning. When we learn to trust Him, when we learn
to lean and rely upon Him we don’t become fragmented or
torn apart; we become whole and complete knowing that He
knows the direction that will bring wholeness to our
lives based on here and now and the depths of our
future.
Allow the thoughts, possibilities, and plans that you
have for your tomorrow to be viewed with alternative
probabilities. Life is good! Take a new look at life
from a different prospective. Envision for the moment
as change being a good thing, although you may at times
feel separation because of a change in direction.
Today, have a different prospective; view your life
from a different angle. As you view your life from
another angle allow the Holy Spirit to give you
foresight into possibilities that will bring blessings.
Wisdom comes to everyone but everyone will not receive
her. Those who seek her shall find her because she is
there with you and strives to assist you in every
decision you make.
Begin today to confess: "Today, I strive to walk in
wisdom; I seek after understanding; I pursue knowledge
that will help me walk in a directed path that will
bring blessings to me, my family and all those I contact
each day, a full satisfied life free from worry, and
free from troubled emotional hardships."
But
that doesn’t by any means take away from those
opportunities to worry, have hardships and trouble; but
it allows us to understand that our only option isn’t to
give in or fall down under the load. Hardship, trouble,
and worry comes to everyone. We decide what we do when
they occur. Live free and enjoy your life everyday. It
doesn’t matter what the circumstance, what we feel, or
even what we see but we endeavor to learn to trust the
Holy Spirit to lead us through, around, and beyond each
situation as it arises.
“Our Heavenly Father, I pray that these words that are
written will be easily understood and bring a rest to
the weary, bring peace to the troubled, bring joy to the
down hearted. I pray that Your Word will be revealed in
a way that will open the hearts and minds of those that
will hear Your Word. Father, I thank You for allowing
me the opportunity to share with others the divine
blessings that You have stored for them. May we all
understand that the callings and provocations that are
given to us are not revoked; and You help us always to
walk in the paths of righteousness to see the plan You
designed for our lives, to pursue the call that You
personalized for each of us, and to follow Your plan
with the divine guidance of the Holy Spirit that You
have so graciously given to each of us. Thank you,
Father, for always hearing and answering our prayers.
In Jesus Name, Amen.”
Remember today to find the Love that rests in you and
allow that Love to speak into the lives of the people
you contact today! Be blessed in all you do in the name
of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
 Happy New Year!
