“There are people who take the heart out of you, and there are people who put it back.” – Elizabeth David
EVERY MORNING WE HAVE THE GRAND OPPORTUNITY TO START ANEW. Life is brimming with new possibilities as we shed the covers and step forward into the new day. With what do you fill your day? On our proverbial plate of life, what is on it? Is it so FULL that we’re not even sure what’s really on there? Are we on life digestion overload? Don’t rush for the bottle of Tums, the antidote lies within us and within the heart. Turn your head and heart towards God, and listen with the ear of the heart to what should be on your plate within a 24 period.
WE ARE A GENERATION THAT CHOOSES… slow down, take notice, and think twice about the associations you place on your plate. What you allow in has great influence on your life. God wants only the highest and best for you. Take a moment to ask if everyone and everything holds a right fit in your day. Ask yourself, does this association, task, food, friend speak and accentuate the heaven of my day? If not, think twice. YOU have a solid choice in what you entertain in your life and with what and how you busy your days.
GOD IS NOT DRAMATIC, IMPATIENT or UNKIND. We have a loving Father that only wants the best for His children. Are you in agreement with what the Father wants for you? Consider your influence on others in your life, are you good food on their plate? Do you add or do you take energy in the lives of others?
LEAVE SOMEONE TOUCHED BY YOUR PRESENCE, it’s simple… go to the heart and act in service as God would act and take a few moments from your day to hold that special person high in your heart. The company you keep speaks volumes about what you think about yourself and what you give in your life. You get to choose the company you keep. Sometimes we need a little spring cleaning in our associations. Don’t be afraid to let go in love. There are associations that, at surface level, might appear just lovely. However, underneath the surface, there may be
jealousy, drama or behaviors that, when we really sit in our hearts we know it is unacceptable and not in the aligned view that God holds for us.
THERE IS GREAT POWER IN SILENCE AND NOT ENTERTAINING DRAMA. Find peace. Release others that are not good for you with love and forgiveness. And know that peace will find you in your heart. It is a promise from our Father to you. Pray and ask for guidance of what to fill your days with, be patient and take action when you get that knowing in your heart. Our lives and our time are a precious and valuable treasure. Let God answer more clearly with what and with whom your time should to be filled.
A SIMPLE PRAYER FOR A SIMPLE AND CLEAR DAY. Ask and pray for what people, food, activities and prayers need to be a part of your plate for the day. Ask and you shall receive. At first this will seem like quite a task to remember to do as you get out of bed in the morning, but like any good effort, with time, energy and love from your heart, it will be come easy and you will be amazed by how graceful you become in the orchestration of your days.
