The Best is Yet to Come
Every life is filled with storms and celebrations, chaos and success, confusion and triumphs. During the celebrations, successes and triumphs we boldly take full responsibility for the outcome; but while in the midst of the storm, chaos and confusion we place the blame outside of ourselves. We wonder why “God has forsaken us?” Victim or Volunteer?
In John 5:1-9, a man had been faithfully, for 38 years, coming to the pool to be healed. Jesus’ question to the man was “Do you want to be healed”? The man’s response was “There is no one to help me.” Many of us model our lives after the man at the pool. When faced with adversity we sit around waiting, begging and crying for someone to help us. We expertly craft excuses for why we are not healed. We have 100 bible verses at our desk, but we do not believe any of them. Many have become addicted to being sad, sick and tired. We forget that we decide our response to everything that occurs in our lives. It is our response that determines the outcome. Because the Universe if benevolent, attitudes of “woe is me” only draw to you more “woe is me” circumstances. You must get sick and tired of being sick and tired.
In order to experience your long awaited healing so that you can live your best lives now, you must take responsibility for all of our actions. No one is a victim; we are all volunteers. If your life is filled with a continuous pattern of similar crisis, this is a sign that you have decided to declare yourself a victim. It is this identification that will certainly guarantee that you will have many more “victim” experiences.
Our reaction to events will also point out where we have placed our faith. If we believe that Spirit is the beginning and end of everything, we must believe completely that Spirit will answer our call, supply our needs and comfort our soul. We are counseled in Acts 3:1-26, that it is our Faith (Peter) that does the healing.
You can start to take responsibility for your life by asking yourself “what are my reoccurring crisis and dramas?” “What has become clear to me”? Each experience is your teacher, it came to show you what needs to be healed. Once you have started thinking about and answering these questions, record your responses in a journal. Note any similarities. Devise a plan to make the changes your dramas are urging you to make.
Learning to find peace while in the midst of a crisis is the only sure way to calm the storm. While in the crisis, take some time to become still, acknowledge your need and visualize its fulfillment. Follow the guidance you receive. This will shorten the duration of the crisis, keep you positively focused and make certain your Faith is working to manifest the desired outcome.
Until next time, remember live the life you've imagined...dream big!!!
