May my spirit be

Set a flame with a fire

No manmade thing

Can quench

May I understand

You clothe fields with

Wildflowers

Here today, gone tomorrow

Indicating how much more

You will take care of me

Your love for me

Exceeds all that I can see

Surpasses all that I can Comprehend

I am grateful

For this moment

Luke 3:16

Matthew 6:30

I am responsible for what I see. I choose the feelings I experience and I decide upon the good I would achieve. And, everything that happens to me I ask for, and receive as I have asked.

That’s hard for the ego to digest. Our ego works hard to keep us stuck in self-attack and doesn’t want to accept that we created the scenario we are complaining about. The energy we used to create a negative situation can be used to create a positive situation, if we shift from the vibration of fear to the vibration of love. But its our choice. We can choose to lash out or let go.

When we lash out against a partner, or someone we feel has unjustly accused us, it may seem like we are defending ourselves, protecting. But anger is a form of self-attack. That’s why we feel so bad after verbally railing against another soul.

We’ve all experienced this at some point in our evolution. We’re going off on someone, giving them a piece of our mind, it felt good to release on them, we felt justified. Then later, we felt terrible, maybe even had physical symptoms. Because we gave them something more valuable than a piece of our mind, we sacrificed for them the PEACE of our mind.

The ego thinks it’s helping but it’s need to compare itself to others, justify it’s actions, reinforce it’s illusion that we are better than (or less than) others is emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically harming to our being.

The miracle is that we have a choice. We can choose what we experience. We can change what we experience. We are responsible for what we see.

Self-reflection can be daunting. Looking at ourselves, really looking, with eyes that see clearly. We realize that often what we see in ourselves, and others, is distorted by fear. Miracles happen when we learn to look through eyes of love. 💗

You might bind my body
With social constraints
Drown me in a flood
Of manipulative illusions
Weigh me down with
Imagined oppression
Heap upon me
Chains heavy with lies
From the father of liars
But my Spirit will always
Find a way
To lift someone else up

Fence-sitting
Looks like a beautiful thing

Some are better at it than others
That state of indecision
Or neutrality with respect to
Conflicting positions

Indecision
The inability to make a decision Quickly
That doesn’t describe me
I can make a snap decision
And live with the consequences

Neutrality
The state of not supporting
Or helping either side
That’s not really me either
I tend to choose sides
Based on my beliefs
Upbringing or
Strong feelings

Fence-sitting
Looks like a beautiful thing

But eventually the law of gravity
Will prevail
The fence will lean

I’m not a very good fence-sitter
I’d rather choose
My direction of flight

Instead of allowing
Outside forces to dictate
Which way I go

We didn’t know how to walk

Until we did

We didn’t know how to talk

Until we did

What if we had never tried

There are lots of things

We don’t know how to do

That doesn’t mean

We cannot do them

Growing older makes us

Wiser

It can also make us too

Comfortable

The lack of years left to live

Makes failure seem risky

Fear of trying new things

Creeps in and stifles ideas

We forget its okay

Not to know

Until we do

That’s how we started out

In this wonder filled world

Let us end that way too

Always learning

Something new

You have greatness within you. You can achieve whatever you believe.

The quality of your health impacts how you achieve what you believe. Your level of fitness contributes to the quality of your health.

Choose to improve your health by improving your fitness. One tiny step at a time, doing what you can right where you are. Getting back on track when you’ve run off course. Raising the bar just a little bit when you’ve reached a plateau. Small every day choices can make a difference.

You have greatness within you. Allow it to shine through.

You don’t have to go far
Just do what you can
Wherever you are
It won’t take long
And you will see
A key ingredient
To any good plan
That thing that brings
It all together in harmony
A challenging word
To hold to task
It will give you
Whatever you ask
If you just
Let go of resistance
And simply be
Consistent

We see things imperfectly, like curious reflections in a mirror, but one day we will see everything clearly. All that we currently know is partial and incomplete, but one day we will know everything completely.

I Corinthians 13:12
For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

Note to self:
Look in the mirror and have a come to Jesus meeting with yourself when that old accusing voice starts whispering in your ear that you are not worthy of the assignment God has given you. If the condemnation is coming from someone else, put them in their place.

A soul somewhere needs you to complete your assignment.

Remember:
Only you can do your assignment. No one else can do it. If you don’t do it, it won’t get done and certain souls may not get reached. Trust Him, silence your ego, silence your accusers.

Step out in faith. “Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.”
