What a joy-filled day it is when it's a day you begin by giving praise and thanksgiving to God for all that you have, everything He's already done, and the promise of blessings you anticipate in your heart that by your faith you know are still yet to come. What an awesome feeling it is to wake up in the morning, go about your day, and go to bed at night with your mind and soul at peace. What an even greater feeling it is to have your heart and spirit filled with the assurance that all is well and in divine order despite what appears to be going on outside you or around you because you know your blessings are on the way. And the three keys to unlocking your blessings are forgiveness, praise and an attitude of gratitude.
With so much madness and mayhem going on in the world in which we live today you have to have something solid and dependable to stand on. After listening to all the negative stories we hear repeated daily on the news, at work or even on social media websites, we need something to give us the reassurance that despite the overwhelming constant changes going on in the world, everything is going to be alright. Otherwise, you're prone to lose your mind, become deeply depressed, and overcome by fear, doubt and uncertainty about the future.
Without the reassurance that a higher power much bigger than us is at work and always working in your favor, you will become consumed with worry over what's going to happen to you. Or how you're going to take care of your family. Before long, without even consciously realizing it, your mind becomes so focused on trying to figure out the future that you're no longer living fully in the present. When this happens, you begin to overlook the good in your life and take for granted the blessings you already have right in front of you now.
But when you have a strong relationship with God and a solid spiritual foundation to keep you grounded, the negative things unfolding around you in the world don't have the same affect on you. The depressing stories you hear in the news everyday won't cause you to become paralyzed with fear. Even the unpleasant or challenging circumstances in your own personal life won't have the power to break your spirit or penetrate your soul. While all these things may temporarily cause you to feel down they won't be able to take you out. Why?
Because when you know that our Divine Creator and the God you serve is much bigger, greater, stronger and more powerful than any person, situation, employer, health issue, financial situation, or government system in the entire universe, you're able to rest assured that no weapon formed against you can prosper. You will also know that the governments of this world can stay shut down as long as they like. Because the Kingdom of God never shuts down, never turns you down, never shuts you out, never cuts you off, never lays off, or closes it's doors. Nor does it ever fire. Rather, it fully employs and always has a perfect position for you open for hire.
In essence, what I am saying is when you know that you are a child of the Most High God you trust that God is well able to meet all your needs regardless of what's happening in our physical world. When you have faith in the promise of Gods word, according to the Holy Scriptures, that He will never leave or forsake you you will also know that everything is always working together for your highest good. When you come to the realization that while the world is ever changing God is the one constant in the entire universe you will believe undoubtedly the scripture in 1 Corinthians 2:9 that says, "But as it is written, The eye has not seen and the ear has not heard and the heart of man has not conceived the things which God has prepared for those who love him." And when you remember that God's word can not return to Him void, you will begin to stand on the aforementioned scripture as your Truth unwavering until the supply for your need manifest.
An even better example, is when you have a personal testimony from a similar or worst situation in your past that God brought you out of better off and further ahead than you were when the situation began. You can refer back to that experience as confirmation that what God did for you before He is well able to do for you again.
Until next time...I surround you with Love & Light! So remember to always keep your love light on.

Life Unbound:The Freedom of Living Beyond Our Fears
True freedom doesn't come from acquiring wealth.
Nor does it come by attaining great knowledge
or academic degrees.
Although all of the aforementioned things
definitely contribute largely to expanding
our opportunities and allow us to afford
more pleasurable comforts in life...
True freedom is achieved when we
learn to face and conquer the things
in life we fear the most.
Thus, fearless living is limitless living.
For it is not until we learn to live fearlessly
that we obtain the true power it takes to attain
any of our life goals.
Therefore, let us strive to create a
life unbound by the limitations of our fears.
Only then can we begin to experience the essence
of truly living life to its fullest potential at all.
Until next time...I surround you in Love & light! So remember to keep your love lights on!
