Three years

Three years ago today my mother died.  I just thought I'd mention that as the world rushes around trying to earn approval from others.  Although I never earned my mother's approval, it doesn't matter anymore.  Why?  Because she's gone so long that I've forgotten all of her nasty, cruel, controlling ways?  No, because I've found Pastor Joseph Prince and I read his emails every morning before I start my day.  I cannot urge you too strongly to get into this practice yourself.  Just go to www.josephprince.org and sign up for his free daily emails. 

In case you're not convinced that this can change your life, here's today's meditation for you to ponder.  I've come to see that the reason we humans try to make our own path to God is because we think that this means that we have power--look what I did, Mom!  That, not only is childish, it is keeping us from experiencing a deep relationship with God.  PLEASE read this meditation and let it seep into your soul today. THEN you will know how happy I am today to be free of my mother's condemnation on my life!  PTL

I really, truly, sincerely, entirely, unequivocally, wholly, graciously AM loved by God--YIPPEE!!  SO ARE YOU!  Here's to Pastor Prince and here's to GOD!!!!!!!!!!

Happy today!

The Good Life Without The Sweat

Matthew 6:26 26Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

Most people are of the opinion that the good life does not happen without hard work and buckets of sweat. They believe that to achieve success, you first need to have this educational certificate, that professional qualification, this particular job and that many years of hard work. I have good news for you: God has a better way. We all must work, but the world wants you to believe that there is a natural process of sowing, reaping and gathering, accompanied by waiting, toiling and stress, before the good life actually comes. But God says, “My people do not need to go through this natural process to enjoy the good life for they are not of this world’s system. They can operate out of My economy and I can give them the good life straightaway!” In the same way that God feeds the birds which do not go through the sow-then-reap-then-gather system of the world, He wants to and will do much more for you! Your heavenly Father wants you to know the generosity of His heart toward you and how much He wants to make you successful. A case in point is what happened to a church member who believed this truth. After leaving his previous job, he trusted God to provide him with a better one. Within just four months, he found himself heading two companies. His newly formed distribution company not only clinched a major project in Singapore, but was also made the principal distributor in Southeast Asia for a popular line of products from the United States. His second company, which provided consultancy services, was given two projects by a Korean and a Hong Kong company for a six-figure consultancy fee in US dollars. Today, God wants you to know that you are not of the world’s system. You are of the kingdom of God — the same kingdom that feeds the birds that do not toil, but simply trust their Creator for all their provisions in life. Be convinced that you are of more value to your heavenly Father than the birds, and let Him give you the good life without the toiling and laboring of the world
