Good morning, wonderful, amazing, sweet and and lovely people. I hope this blog meets you well. It is a beautiful day in Hampton, Georgia and I am grateful to be alive today. God is so good and I am in awe of the blessing of today.
Do you have anything to be thankful for today? I bet you do. You opened your eyes today. That is plenty reason to be grateful. Let us develop an attitude of thanksgiving and gratitude in our daily living because it is the secret of receiving more blessings.
I used to wonder why it is that I prayed for something to happen but there was no sign of it happening and I felt like God didn't care for me or maybe God was too busy blessing others that he forgot about me. Have you ever felt like you were not worthy of God's love and blessing? I know that feeling. Have you ever felt deserted by God to the point where you start feeling alone and in a dark place? I have felt that too. Have you ever examined yourself and just sat back to watch your thought process like a movie? If you haven't, try doing it today. I have watched my thought process and this is what I discovered; whatever I am thinking affects my posture and how I feel.
If I am thinking pleasant memories, I feel happy and excited and my shoulders are pushed back and I stand tall but if I am thinking about my failures, disappointments and where people wronged me, I feel sour, dejected and a feeling of hopelessness sets in. I don't know about you, but I like feeling GREAT! Whenever you are not feeling good, start thinking about happy memories or about the possibilities of your wildest dreams come true. Don't get hung up on how it is going to happen. Just focus on the feeling you will have when it does happen and hold on to that feeling for as long as you can through out the day. I am consciously doing this too during the day.
I want to share an excerpt with you from the book "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind," by Dr. Joseph Murphy.
"All religions of the world represent forms of belief, and these beliefs are explained in many ways. The law of life is the law of belief. What do you believe about yourself, life and the universe? It is done unto you, as you believe.
Belief is a thought in your mind, which causes the power of your subconscious to be distributed into all phases of your life according to your thinking habits. You must realize the Bible is not talking about your belief in some ritual, ceremony, form, institution, man or formula. It is talking about belief itself. The belief of your mind is simply the thought of your mind. If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth MARK 9:23."
Perhaps you have been praying for a special something to be given you, and there's no sign of your prayer being answered, here's what I want you to do: stop focusing on the emptiness of it and start seeing yourself in possession of it. Train your mind to see yourself in possession of that thing and declare that you have it. Stay with your resolve and don't allow the enemy convince you that it is not there. I pray that it shall be done unto you according to your belief in Jesus Name. Amen!
Don't let anyone steal your joy! Don't steal your own joy!
