Easter New Life, Rebirth, Renewal

April 05, 2010

Happy Easter, everyone ! At this point in time and in my life, I am going to consciously capitalize on and leverage the meaning, intention and philosophy of Easter. Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, rebirth, renewal, a new abundant life in Christ! The works ! About time that I really leverage the gift of redemption, resurrection, an abundant life that God wants His creation to experience.

I declare that I am now ready to receive spiritually (afte forty years in the desert), intellectually , emotionally and physically all the material blessings, financial and otherwise that God wants me to have and enjoy in this life ... which in my mind is really a part of the eternal life that God wants those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ to have. I used to think that the desire for an abundant physical, material and financial life is antithetical to my spiritual and emotional growth ,though I could comfortably relate mental growth with material and financial growth. I've come to realize, even if at a snail's pace, that physical/material and financial growth/abundance/prosperity is but a natural balancing off-shoot of one's spiritual,emotional and mental growth, at least in this my earthly life.

Another thing, humility is not an untruthful posturing of oneself as being small, insignificant and lower than others. Humility is realizing that everything I am and have and will become is and should be according to God's plan, will and purpose for my life. Humility is giving praise, thanksgiving and glory to God by obeying His will and living out His plans and purposes for my life ... At last !
