Creation part 5
This is how it always works: God blesses us... to be a blessing. He loves us... so that we can love. He created us... so that we can create! That's the Divine Order of things. All good and perfect gifts come down from the Father of lights and light us up so that we can shine. We experience these gifts by giving them away. By sharing them. That's how we create the Kingdom of God (the Kingdom of Love). If I can say it that way. What's inside of us comes out. Or, rather, what we believe is inside of us comes out. Whatever you're full of overflows out of you. What you magnify is what manifests in your life. What you feed is what will grow. I'm telling you, we create our own realities in a very real way by what we focus on. If you're convinced--and have convinced yourself--that you're going to have a bad day, well, you probably will. Not necessarily because there's any cosmic conspiracy against you, but because you've already set yourself up for it. So everything that happens to you will probably be seen in that negative way. Seen through that lens of, "What a horrible day." When someone else, under the same situation and circumstances, could have the best day of their life. It's all about how you deal with what happens. Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. If you can react to things in a positive way, knowing that all things work together for good... that means that even in the midst of a storm you can sleep (rest) in the boat. And then, when things get too bad for the people around you, well, you can speak a Word (love) and handle that situation for them too. I love it in Philippians 4:19 where Paul writes, "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Did you catch that? MY God shall supply all YOUR need. He wasn't worried about his own need. He knew he was covered. And because HE was covered, he could then cover OTHERS. Blessed... to be a blessing. Loved... so we can love. Created... so that we can create. Now I always feel like I need to qualify this. Because you can't "create" a million dollars just by thinking, and wishing, and hoping for it. There are two choices: The lie of the world... or the truth of our heavenly Father. The world... or the Kingdom. And you CAN choose which one you live in. You can (and do) choose between those two. You create one or the other in your own life by the choices you make and the faith you put into things. If you just accept what the world throws at you (it is what it is) then that's what you get. But if you instead inject what your heavenly Father has given you (love) into every situation than you get what HE has given you! We experience the gift we've been given by giving it away. By sharing it. By letting what's truly inside come out. By knowing and believing it's in there. We experience love by loving people. Because love is never about getting. Because love is giving. That's the key. We create what God has already created (or bring it into being, or manifest it) by giving away what He's given us. By letting what's inside come out. By letting the LOVE that's inside come out! Creation is all about love. Life is all about love. It's all about love!
