Relax

Your weakness is God’s opportunity to show His power! He is not surprised by them and actually knew all about them before you did. So you can relax and enjoy your day while God continues working in you.

It's so nice to know that we don't have to stress out about trying to be perfect. We need to remind ourselves that we weren't created that way. And I also think we need to remind ourselves that God knows that.  He sees our struggles and already knows what we are going to do.  

It's so nice to know that, regardless, God continues to work through us, even when we are not at our best.  We can continue to strive to be our best but the pressure is off.  Nice. 

You "can" change!

“A belief is only a thought you continue to think. A belief is nothing more than a chronic pattern of thought, and you have the ability - if you try even a little bit - to begin a new pattern, to tell a new story, to achieve a different vibration, to change your point of attraction.” 

~ Abraham-Hicks ~

One of the beautiful things about being human is our ability to change.  Why is it that some people think that if things have always been this way, they will always be this way?  It doesn't have to be.  

I think all of us have things about ourselves that we'd like to change.  Maybe we don't try because we don't think we'll be successful.  But I believe that we can achieve anything that we want to - if we want it bad enough.  

Be patient though.  Change does not happen overnight and you might not see the change for a while.  But don't quit!  You'll get there in time.

Created from the same dust . . .

After the game,
the king and the pawn go into the same box. 

~ Italian Proverb ~

Isn't that the truth.  We may have different roles to play in life, but in the end, we are all equal.  

This reminds me of a quote from Baha'u'llah:

O CHILDREN OF MEN!

 

Know ye not why We created you all from the same dust?  That no one should exalt himself over the other. Ponder at all times in your hearts how ye were created. Since We have created you all from one same substance it is incumbent on you to be even as one soul, to walk with the same feet, eat with the same mouth and dwell in the same land, that from your inmost being, by your deeds and actions, the signs of oneness and the essence of detachment may be made manifest. Such is My counsel to you, O concourse of light!  Heed ye this counsel that ye may obtain the fruit of holiness from the tree of wondrous glory.
