Life comes at us as a fair proposition, what we put into it, is
what we get out of it; or, as Dr. Joe Vitale of the movie and
book "the Secret" says, "intend it! If you believe that it will
happen, it will." The Bible says these very words as, "as you
sow, so shall you reap." 2Cr 9:6 But this [I say],
He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he
which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
Finding the birth event of Christ, the parents of Jesus, and
the people who were all around that, is such a momentous time;
what it must have been like. Yet a sad truth is, based on how
we handle the day, most days, we spend the hours of our lives
complaining that God has put us into this? That we are in a
situation we don't like, (yet we aren't going to change?), that
we are in a place we don't like, (yet we aren't going to move?),
that we are around people we don't like, (yet we aren't willing
to risk having new friends?), that we aren't happy. (whatever that
means?)- see the picture? And doesn't it just seem to you that
God must wonder why we are missing it? Here God has put before us
life, put before us pain (to know we are still capable of feeling it),
pleasure, (because it's what we think, erroneously is the opposite of
pain), put before us emotions, (that we cannot neglect a healthy
emotional set of friends), put before us a banquet of life, so
that we can thank God for such. How can we thank God? My sense
in listening to the voice of Jesus is to believe that we can
thank God by living the life He grants us to His glory?
Sometimes it isn't easy to ponder what has taken place in your
life. I don't like to look at it, sometimes it's not appealing,
to look at what really exists can be downright difficult, if not
impossible to handle, and yet, I am encouraged by one fact that
is presented in the movie and the book "the Secret" by a marvelous
and powerful doctor of psychology, here is that paraphrase: when
you look at where you are you are looking at the sum of your past,
not the future- what you were, not what you are, what you are is
what you are about to create, and that can be, marvelous!
The Bible says these same words this way: Ecc 3:1 To every
[thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose
under the heaven:
Per Signum Crucsis (By The Sign of the Cross)
De Inimicsis Nostre (From our Enemies)
Libera Nos, Deus Noster (Deliver us, our God)
In Nomine Patris (In the name of the Father)
Et Filii (and of the Son)
Et Spiritus SAncti (and of the Holy Spirit)
Amen
