Thought For Today - 10/31/09

I found that money will not give me security. Security comes from having an unshakable connection with God. Once I made that connection, money flows more easily into my life.

I found that the love I sought was not in another person. But, the love I found with in Christ - the true love.

Once I found what I was seeking, I found emotional healing. I found in order for me to get full-time rewards from God I could not be in a part-time relationship with Him. It had to become a priority. I also found that the rewards I receive are not for me alone - but for others! The rewards are actually meant to serve as a demonstration of what is possible for others.

Much love,
Joseph

Thought For Today - 10/30/09

I run into many people with the idea that they have to suffer or live in poverty in order to be spiritual. This concept is also found in many Christian belief systems too.

I must admit, I use to carry this idea around subconsciously, and it actually held me back from financial or emotional well-being, believing that this is what I had to do in order to be virtuous, spiritually awake, or feel less guilty for the others who didn't have.

I find no where in the Word of God that there can be a spiritual purpose to experiencing a lack of material well-being. It can be true that material abundance can distract us from being as spiritual as we could.

But, once we recognize this and keep spiritual things at the center of our heart, there is no reason to dwell in poverty. In fact I have personally found that once my spiritual connection with God was fully intact, I now feel so compelled to share my abundance and lack has become a thing of the past!

Much love,
Joseph
