Forgiveness: A Law Of Prosperity, Sunday Service

As I forgive, I am forgiven. So I declare myself to be willing to forgive him, her, them and that for whatever it was that caused me to be upset. As I forgive, I gain more freedom...and he,she,them and that gain their freedom too. Now we all move along in life.
And so it is!

An Understanding Heart

In her book, The Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity, Edwene Gaines tells the story about wise King Solomon whose answer to the question God asked him of what did he want, he answered that since he has a nation to rule, to wanted God to give him an understanding heart. God was pleased with that answer and gave him riches and honor as well.

Edwene goes on to say,

What it means to have an understanding heart is you can't blame anybody for anything. You can't blame your ex-spouse, the Pope, the Internal revenue Service, your boss, your hairdresser, the Republican party, the Democratic party, your parents, the Queen of England, anybody.And you especially can't blame yourself You have to live in a constant state of being forgiven."

What would it be like to live in that state of consciousness? I believe miracles would happen all around you. 

Is there something that is heavy on your heart? The unconditional Love of the Universe wants to give you what you want. But it cannot when we have anger or regrets.We can learn from great women and men who have learned to forgive so that their lives could be better.

Living with an understanding heart reminds me of an interaction I witnessed several years ago between a father and his pre-school son. It was the day before Mother's Day, the dad  was doing some shopping in Trader Joe's. He gave his son a bouquet of roses to hold. The little boy was kind of dragging the flowers behind him and using them to point and tap on objects. When the father noticed, he very tenderly and gently, got down on the boy's level and said, "Son, you need to be gentle with these flowers. They are special for your mommy. You need to hold them like a baby." That boy cradled that bouquet for the rest of the time in the market.

I applaud that father for showing his son that gentleness and tenderness are good qualities. I applaud him for being observant and kind to his son. I applaud his understanding heart.

Goal Setting: A Law of Prosperity

As I establish my goals in life think big, intend big, plan big, act big and walk with confidence. I look the world right in the eye because with Spirit and Principle, as my partners in my endeavors, I know I cannot fail! And so it is!

A Powerful 21-Day Challenge

In her book, The Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity, Edwene Gaines writes about learning the importance of living without complaint. She tells that she went to church, and after the service she cornered the minister with a long list of complaints --including the dirty carpet, the off-tune vocalist, the coffee and the bulletin. She says she went on and on.

"This great high, holy teacher patiently listened to my long litany of complaints. Then he said, 'Edwene, dear, for you today the highest metaphysical law in the universe is, Don't bitch!''

Of course, initially she was taken aback, but after practicing for twenty-one days, she saw how little she had to say that wasn't  a complaint. She says that if you want to be a powerful spiritual being, creating the life of your dreams, you must stop complaining gossiping or even uttering any negative language about yourself or anyone.

I know another minister who made it a policy, that if someone noticed something that needed to be done and mentioned it, they had just signed up to head that committee.

It should not be that difficult to do. And there is a very good reason to do it. According to Ernest Holmes, 

"And it is a law that the man who sees what he wants to see, regardless of what appears, will someday experience in the outer what he has so faithfully seen in the within. From selfish reasons alone, if from no loftier reason, we cannot afford to find fault, to hate, or even to hold anything against any living soul! The God of love cannot hear the prayer of the one who fails to love."

Intuitively you know that this is true. You know that when you are happy and positive-minded, good flows to you. You are in the divine flow. And conversely, when you are feeling resentment, bitterness, or blame, the good stops flowing. This is a great experiment to try for yourself.

I know for you as I know for myself, my conversations will be more positive and life-giving because of this intention. 

What a great practice that will provide benefits for years!
