Receive Your Good

A sense of anticipation of your good is an essential part of becoming naturally prosperous.

 Nature, and yappy little dogs, abhor a vacuum.

Create a vacuum in the area you desire so the Universe can rush in and fill it. If you desire a new wardrobe, for example, simply clean out your closet. Make a bee-line to the closet and pick half of what’s hanging there to give away.

 That’s right: Give it away.

Take your clothing, shoes, accessories and other items to either the Salvation Army or Goodwill Industries. You will be providing other people with the opportunity to use your gifts. You will be tithing to them so they can accomplish what it is for them to accomplish.

 Pay it forward.

Back to your now-spacious closet. Put pictures of what kinds of clothing you would like to see hanging there, inside this space. Imagine your feelings when you can take your pick of nice new (to you) clothing.
You are now ready to receive your new wardrobe.

If you want a new car, go clean out the garage so you will have space to park it. Determine the resale price of your old car through any of a number of on-line services to get an idea of its trade-in value.

Or, you can write up the classified ad to sell it when your new car arrives. If the car is on its last legs, then plan to donate it to your local NPR, PBS station or  favorite charity so they can benefit. Finally, plan a celebratory day trip to embark upon in your brand new car the first chance you get.
You are now ready to receive your new car.

Continue this process for whatever it is that you desire.
Make room for it and the Universe will provide.

You have joined a partnership for manifesting Abundance. 

You are partners with Spirit/ God/ the Universe in collaboration to materialize your desires.

 God is the best partner you can ever have.

  His guidance about financial affairs will lead you straight to Abundance. Leave the concerns and worries to your Senior Partner. Leave the hard decisions and difficult situations to His management. His style is beneficial to all concerned. He authored the original win/win concept.

There is a famous Scriptural passage wherein God actually asks to be tested. It is the only place in the Bible where He does this.

In Malachi 3:10 (KJV) it is written “Prove me now herewith, saith Jehovah of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing that there shall not be room enough to receive it.”

So, has your way worked so far in your life?
Go ahead and give God’s way a try. And hang on!

You have nothing to lose except fear, pain, ill health, depression and lack.

The Gift of Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a gift given to us by God to heal the hurts of the past, and to give us the hope of a better past.  Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves and the world.  It keeps our Spirit open, flowing and growing into greater awareness and experience of God’s goodness and abundance.

  When our Spirit is open everyone benefits.

The act of forgiveness is said to be one of the most difficult things life asks of us.

 Yet it is one of the most necessary things we can do.

 

When we don’t use our gift of forgiveness, it hurts us on every level of our being: body, mind, and Spirit.

Our creative power of thinking is used to relive past events so often making them worse than they were.

Our emotion are frozen in unprocessed anger and resentment as we try to suppress the pain of the past.

This can eventually cause disease in our physical body.

  

Our Spiritual arteries are clogged with the accumulation of unprocessed emotions. Our Spirit is constricted and our heart is closed so we don’t get hurt again.  When we go through years of carrying baggage from the past, we can often become bitter and hardened against life.

 

Probably the best way to understand our gift of forgiveness is to change FORGIVE to GIVE FOR.

  When we forgive, we give up  that something that blocks our Spirit for something that opens our Spirit.

When we forgive, we give up Resentment for Good Will; Revenge for Kindness; Blame for Understanding; Separation for Oneness; A Closed Heart for an Open Heart; Criticism for Support; Doubt and Fear for Faith and Courage; Anger for Love; Self condemnation for Self esteem.
