Greetings. I am pleased to share with you my expressions of inspiration for today, August 7, 2007. My heart feels heavy at times when I allow myself to dwell on the condition of this world, and how progressively it appears to be self-destructing. I sometimes ask myself, "what the heck is going on?" Well, I'm beginning to understand somewhat the answer to that question. "There is no new thing under the sun". Everything that is happening now, was happening in past generations at some degree, even Bible days. Just as there were answers and solutions and understanding then, there are also now. Where? How? In the Word of God. That is where I have found my answers to what is going on, as well as my comfort and peace of mind in the midst of it all. We are simply, "reaping what we have sown". Galatians 6:7-9 states:
"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not".
It appears that morality and well doing had a fainting spell a long time ago and has not found a smelling salt potent enough to rouse it as of yet. But, there really is hope, and it begins with each one of us.
I found out years ago that life was so much easier and more pleasant when I truly learned to "do unto others as I would have them do unto me". In other words, treat people the way I want them to treat me, or my loved ones. I have made that my life's motto. I truly believe that if more individuals would adopt that motto, especially world leaders, city officials, employers, co-workers, even each individual household, the condition of this world would greatly improve. How simple that seems, to simply treat others the way you wish to be treated. No better time to make that vow than now. People will notice the change in your character and the way you handle everyday situations. When they ask what's gotten into you, simply give them the spill about your vow to do unto others... Believe me, it is not a cliche'. I know from experience, whatsoever you sow, you will reap, whether it is goodness or bad, honesty or deceit.
As I close, the expression of inspiration that I would most like for you to think about, the message that I want you to remember is that even in the midst of a seemingly uncaring, self-destructive world, if you allow goodness, kindness and peace to be sown in your neck of the woods, you will reap those things in your personal life. So, be careful of what you say, be careful of what you do, because the affects of them will in some shape, form or fashion be returned back to you.
Prayer: Father God help me to become a better person and sincerely make the vow to do unto others as I would have them do unto me. Let my life be an example for others who may notice the change in me and desire the same change for themselves. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.
God bless. Peace.
