A Consecrated Life

When we turn our will and life over to the care of God, we chose the consecrated life. So our job now is to see the Presence of God everywhere, in everything and everyone, expressing our current understanding of spiritual principles to the best of our ability. Remember, we are forever growing and learning how to practice these principles in our lives, for this new way of living is Simple but not easy, a price has to be paid and that price is the surrender of self. It is a simple equation; the more time we spend thinking about ourselves, the less comfortable we become, opening the door to restlessness, irritability and discontentment. Conversely, the more time we spend focusing on the Presence of God, practicing the principles we have come to know and believe the more comfortable, at peace we become. Living this consecrated life is the true path of serenity and peace of heart.

Wolves of Morbid Reflection

Conditions in our life are the result of the crops (thoughts) we tend in our consciousness. If we dwell on thoughts of pain, lack, unhappiness, negativity of any stripe, then we will grow more. Being a spiritual law happily the converse is true as well; if we plant peace, joy, love and belief in abundance then these will be our harvest.

 We will never be happy if we walk around with a long face complaining, thinking and speaking negatively. When we engage in morbid reflection our thoughts work to convince us that sickness, trouble and failure are unavoidable, lurking around the next bend. To be clear: We do not control the thoughts that float up into our consciousness; thought control is not about banning a thought which is impossible, but taking right action when we become aware. Negative thinking is cunning, a wolf masquerading as a lamb, so just as the shepherd tending their flock, as soon as we become aware of the wolf, spiritually corrosive negative reflection and thinking, we must take immediate action.

Our course is clear, remembering that prayer is always the answer we place our trust in God and stay out of the results business. God does not punish with one hand and love with the other; He is always working in the positive for His children, His promises, our spiritual inheritance, are at hand as long as we stand vigilant over the crops we tend in our consciousness, keeping the wolves of morbid reflection at bay.
