Let the
bells ring; sound the trumpets. The Good news is here . . . The master plan for
every living thing on the face of the earth is in full effect. We should be
rejoicing every minute of our life. This means everything we encounter is
always for our good. Because we allow ourselves to be constantly bombarded with
negative news, we must, without fail, exercise our faculty of imagination if we
are to uncover the good that surrounds us. However, the benefits of regularly
exercising this faculty will leave no aspect of our life untouched, and the
good we imagine will always manifest in our lives in proportions greater than
even we hoped for.
In spite
of this promise, this guarantee, we have chosen to allow our lives to become
tainted with the worst disease there is—Fear.
Our
society has perpetuated a “me” consciousness that can be found at the core of
all disease. My house, my car, my job,
mine . . . mine . . . mine. On the surface this seems harmless, but if we were
to dig deeper into the subconscious, fear is what we would find. The
uncertainty that “Our Father” will take care of us is running rampant in every
phase of our life, causing us to cling to false realities for comfort, i.e.
financial wealth, possession, etc. In the midst of these comforts, our soul
still cries out in anguish and despair. We often find ourselves paralyzed, our
career growth stifled and our personal growth nonexistent. Once we can conquer
the enemy within, there will be no enemy in the outer.
If you
look closer at the problems that exist in the race consciousness, you will find
fear. Fear is the creator of and
masquerades as racism, sexism, greed, overachieving, underachieving and
jealousy.
The only
cure for this disease is to realize that “Our Father,” who art in heaven, will
never fail us or forsake us. Knowing that every problem comes divinely wrapped
in its own solution should empower us and encourage us to be more creative, not
paralyze us with fear. Sometimes, after we spend years pursuing an education,
our dreams and our inner voice becomes obscure.
Over
time, this inner voice will lessen to a mere whisper, unable to be heard over
the clamor of the world. The world teaches us to dance to the drummer of the
majority, while the Creator urges us to listen to Him and follow His
instructions. You see, the power comes from doing what God says. Faith is the
necessary armor while on your path, but it is not the only ingredient, for
faith is an action word. We must become doers of the instructions for our
individual journeys.
Practice listening
to the music, keep on following your star and remember morning cannot be far. Learn to listen and follow your inner
guidance, God's still small voice. This is the pathway out of fear; then and
only then can miracles occur.
Fear is the only thing we shall be afraid of. It is the host encamped against us, not the confusion around us, that we need to fear; it is the lack of confidence in the good that alone should cause concern. —Ernest Holmes
