These Spiritual Leaders In Africa Who Are Also Carers Are Unafraid To Get Their Hands Dirty
“My sister died of AIDS” “And my sister also died of AIDS. We are looking after her family. Her husband died of AIDS too.”
When this is told you and you see the little orphans being looked after by an aunt how can you describe the feeling in your heart? You are returning to Scotland next week but they are being left in this jungle village to deal with the massive matters of raising the children, feeding them, and trying to clothe and educate them without very many financial resources.
The Word Of God In The Scriptures Will Do For You What No-one Else Could Ever Do For You
During the Passover, in Egypt, it was not enough that a lamb had died. The people had to apply the blood to their doors. We read all about the Passover in Exodus Chapter 12 and it was at the Passover Meal the night before He was crucified that Jesus Christ took bread and wine giving them that very special and precious significance for our spiritual welfare and well-being.
The Hebrew people had been slaves in Egypt for some 400 years and now they were going to be rescued, released, delivered, set free - for a purpose.
Its All About Passion And Purpose
Productivity seems to be the Holy Grail of the twenty-first century. We spend tons of money, and even more time, on things like effectiveness training, time management, planners, goal setting instruction, and general productivity tips.
And many of us pour all that time and money into careers that don’t really matter to us. The results, not surprisingly, are disappointing, because we’re trying infuse our work with energy and effectiveness, and those things don’t come from outside. They can’t be infused if there’s no passion, no purpose. You absolutely cannot be truly effective, and in turn truly successful, without being passionate about what you’re doing. And passion is not something you can invent. It’s something you have to discover.
Meet Your Higher Self
Only when all 7 aspects are in harmony does your subconscious mind (your auto achievement pilot) pour out your unlimited potential almost without any greater effort on your part at all, and your body becomes naturally balanced, calm, and stress free.
Many believe that one of those aspects is your Higher Conscious Mind also, with still more, higher functions, such as wisdom, order, justice, ecology, peace, truth, perfection and evolution. This is the spiritual part of you, your guardian angel, and it looks down at you like a totally trustworthy parent gazing lovingly on a perfect child (you). It creates anything that you ask for, (whether dwell on good things or bad) including health and energy, as well as more tangible goals.
Paws For Thought
A rabbit darted out in front of me last week as I was driving home in the dark and I jammed on my brakes to avoid hitting it. If I had taken time to think about my reaction, the rabbit would have been stew for sure.
Reacting is a necessary, life saving mechanism of every day living: Someone throws a missile at you and you duck; You put your big toe into a bath full of scalding water and you draw it out in an instant with a sharp intake of breath.
Reacting without thought can be a saviour… but it can also get us into hot water.
