You can order Oprah Winfrey's favorite book, Eckhart Tolle's "A New Earth" in our book section.
"...knowing that with God all the blessings are not just possible, they already are."
John Morton (From: "You Are the Blessings" (available on the New Day Herald website).
Dear Ones,
Do we sometimes wonder, "how can the blessings already be...when my life looks like a train wreck?" The truth is, that right in the midst of that seeming "train wreck", there are blessings just waiting to be discovered.
Every challenging situation that arises in our life is not an obstacle to bring us down. It is an opportunity to discover more about God, about life and about ourselves.
However, we are at choice, we can just throw up our hands and basically "give up", crying “it's too much for me”. The truth is that it's not too much for any of us, no matter how big the problem(s) may seem. God will never give us "too much" to handle. And…isn’t God bigger than any seeming problem(s)?
What if today, instead of focusing on our lack, or what's wrong in our lives, we focus on our blessings...and if we can think of only one blessing to focus on...focus on it.
Then ask to shown the blessings in our current situation. The Bible states that when we ask we receive. Our eyes will be opened to see those blessings, those opportunities for growth and the glorious opportunity to know God better and to love God more…right in the midst of what is transpiring in our lives. Today, let’s “blessing the mess” and watch the wonders of God’s grace.
With love and blessings,
Rev. Barbara
