DAILY OM...Aquarius

 

Immersion in Awe

You may feel romantic today, with a euphoric view of life in general. Perhaps you’ve met someone wonderful who makes you see your circumstances in a new light, or you might simply feel inspired by the beauty of the world around you.

If you want to enhance this focus, you might consider devoting a block of time to spend in a natural setting that fills you with awe and wonder. Oceans, rivers, canyons, and forests would be good places to visit because you can marvel at the power of nature and immerse yourself in the sights and sounds around you.

Wherever you choose to wander today, simply let go of worrisome thoughts and engage fully with beauty and wonder as they heighten your feelings of euphoria.

Immersing ourselves completely in beautiful surroundings can lift our thoughts above boredom, petty concerns, and stressful circumstances.

Seeking experiences of wonder and awe on a regular basis automatically helps us feel lighter and more carefree. As we spend time in beautiful surroundings, we feel removed from our limited focus and our problems seem to shrink when compared to the raw power and blissful serenity that nature offers.

As a result, our mood and mind-set seem to lift and expand, creating a stronger sense of spiritual awareness, inner peace, and abundant joy in all of our experiences.

Embracing the wonder of nature can intensify your feelings of euphoria and make every moment deeper and more meaningful today.

SUNDAYS WITH JOYCE

 

 

CHOICE

1. Choose for or against Jesus

John 3:36 he that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth nor the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

2. Choose good, not evil

Amos 5:15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgement in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

3. Choose life

Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live

4. Choose Lord

Genesis 28:21, Psalms 16:2; 140:6 So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the Lord be my God: O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee; I said unto the Lord, thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O Lord.

5. Choose way of truth

Psalms 119:30 I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.

6. Choose whom you will follow

Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Am'orites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

7. Choosing right over wrong

1 Kings 3:9 Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?

 

 

God said, Is it really so important that everyone agree with you about anything or everything?

Even when you are absolutely right, how much does it matter? What is your vested interest that you must have agreement. Give everyone their free-wheeling space, and have yours.

When you complain to someone, you are waiting for their agreement. Opinions are opinions, and that's all they are. Here today and gone tomorrow. You may not even agree with yourself tomorrow!

That is a good thing that you can change your mind. Change it often. Reach new levels. Not everyone agrees with Me. You may not. This is your freedom of will. I gave it to you. Now it is for you to give freedom to everyone.

In theory, you love freedom for all. In actuality, you are not so sure. You only want to enlighten others, bring them to their senses and your way of thinking. This is a losing battle, beloveds. It is not winnable. Even if you win, you have won nothing. A nod of the head, a word.

This is what winning an argument is made of. Don't argue, and you will not win nor lose the nothing at all that is at stake.

Get on with your life. In life, and stop arguing with others about what you believe, or who you believe in. When you no longer require someones compliance or agreement, that will be a wonderful thing. As you release others, you release yourself. No one has to conform to others thoughts. Thoughts are up for grabs.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

You are free to be hasty,

and you are free to take your time.

You are free to disagree,

and you are free to drop it.

You are free to be anything at all.

You are free to cry,

and you are free to laugh.

You are free to create tension,

and you are free to create peace.

You are free

to give all you are worth,

and you are free

to give nothing at all.

"Your choices will come according to the step you stand on.

Climb higher, and you will see farther, and, when all is said, you will make choices good for all on all levels."
