Great and encouraging blog post: Run and not be weary!
I was so moved by their discipline and expectation of finishing the race with a “well done” shout-out and cheering from friends and family. I was inspired by some of the participants who had overcome physical challenges in order to enter the event. Their stories and journeys were brave and remarkable. In so many ways they had already defeated the lies of self-doubt and limitation!
Healing is really about re-orienting your relationship with God. Whatever the problem is – financial, health, relationships – it is just a signal/an opportunity to turn to God and learn about your spiritual, perfect relationship with Him/Her.
What does this mean? Living a God-centered life and having God-centered thinking. Why? Because God’s thoughts are love and peace; God’s direction is productive and successful; God’s relationships are unselfish and loving; God’s life is healthy and active; God’s presence is calm and comforting.
When we are centered around God, we reflect these qualities in our experience.
One could say that the first and most important thing in life is loving and striving to understand God better. So put your thought and energy into it. Make this your priority. “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” Jesus said this, and he also said the two great commandments are (1) love God and (2) love your neighbor as yourself. See how loving God comes first? It’s not (1) love your neighbor and (2) love God.
We deserve to feel God’s love and presence so tangibly each day. This is a feeling of hope, faith and peace; expecting good from God; feeling His/Her intuition leading you throughout the day. We feel restful and safe in this Love. When we reach this point (and actively pray and study to keep growing) we will be able to love our neighbor more effectively. Our neighbor will then feel more satisfied.
So if you haven’t taken time to do this in a while, take some time today to meditate on “Be still and know that I am God.”
