Thought For Today - 10/10/08 & Very Personal

Many years ago, God had placed a gift into my life. The gift was being able to experience what individuals were experiencing. It could be from just a handshake. There were times I would drive down streets and freeways – driving through neighborhoods and become overwhelmed with what I experienced. I’m not sure those reading this can relate. But, this was and is real.

The emotions I was experiencing were so strong. I had came to the place in my life that I was actually taking on their experiencing such as grief, depression, sadness, loneliness, hopelessness and helplessness, just to name a few. The problem was I was trying to solve their problems. I begin to draw back from this gift. I would ignore the emotions, block out the experiences. I became cold to what people were going through. The gift was yet there, but I would not let it come forth anymore. My heart and mouth were expressing different things. This went on for years. I mean many years.

Since I started my Yoga practice in 2003, little by little, my heart began to soften. The love and compassion of God begin to peak its’ head out. Within a few years, the gift emerged. That is also when the Yoga classes I teach begin to grow to an overflowing number of students attending. Wow, that was just a revelation to me!

Today, I am a receive of the blessings of God and keeper of His commandment of love! I can and have experienced the hurts, pain, grief, sorrow, loneliness, etc. of many that I know personally and others I don’t know at all. This time around – I give it all to God. He is the fixer – not Joseph.

God loves all mankind. The commandment of love is the key to it all. God has planted me in your mist. I will be the connector if need be for all people to experience the blessing of God – even in our current time when the world system is failing all around us. I will pray and show you how to stand on the promises of God regarding your need.

I love you. I will always love you. Today, I grab a strong grip on the power of God to meet you at your need. I can’t help but love you more than ever!

Much love,
Joseph
