Week 11- Obstacle the size of Mt. Everest

I have done very well in trying to find the silver lining in EVERYTHING. I keep reminding myself that a thief (the devil) never comes to a empty vault. He also can can not hear our thoughts, only what we say out loud. I have definitely been on a mental warfare for the past week, as my mother just passed in a very tragic way! If that didnt try to mental break me down, I dont know what could, needless to say,. I greet this day with Love and nothing can keep me from who I have fought so hard to become!

I felt completely defeated. Then I was only temporarily defeated and broken. And just like the Suns promise to return after the storm and after the night,. I too will prevail.

I survived, because the Fire Inside me was brighter than the Fire Around me! I kind of knew, that something very big was going to happen and that there would be a battle where the devil was going to try and break my spirit and try to stop my blessing. I have a strong faith and I found peace in Scroll II! Scroll II actually brought me through. I read it out loud to everyone at my mothers funeral this week. Everyone was in Awe of my strength and bravery.

I greet this day with love in my heart.

I look on all things with love and I am born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I love the light for it shows me the way; yet I love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart; yet I endure sadness for it opens my soul. I acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I  welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.

 

And how will I speak? I laud mine enemies and they become friends; I  encourage my friends and they will become brothers and sisters. Always will I dig for reasons to applaud; never do I scratch for excuses to gossip. When I am tempted to criticize I will bite my tongue; when I am moved to praise I will shout from the roofs.

Is it not so that the birds, the wind, the sea and all nature speaks with the music of praise for their creator? Cannot I speak with the same music to his children? Henceforth will I remember this secret and it will change my life.

I will greet this day with love in my heart.

And how do I act? I love all manners of men for each has qualities to be admired even though they be hidden. With love I tear down the wall of suspicion and hate which they have built round their hearts and in its place I build bridges so that my love may enter their souls.

I love the ambitious for they can inspire me; I love the failures for they can teach me. I love the kings for they are but human; I love the meek for they are divine. I love the rich for they are yet lonely; I love the poor for they are so many. I love the young for the faith they hold; I love the old for the wisdom they share. I love the beautiful for their eyes of sadness; I love the ugly for their souls of peace.

I greet this day with love in my heart.

But how do I react to the actions of others? With love. For just as love is my weapon to open the hearts of men, love is also my shield to repulse the arrows of hate and the spears of anger. Adversity and discouragement beat against my new shield and become as the softest of rains. My shield protects me in the market place and sustain me when I am alone. It uplifts me in moments of despair yet it calms me in time of exultation. It will become stronger and more protective with use until one day I cast aside and walk unencumbered among all manners of men and, when I do, my name will be raised high on the pyramid of life.

I greet this day with love in my heart.

And how do I confront each whom I meet? In only one way. In silence and to myself I will address him and say I Love You. Though spoken in silence these words shine in my eyes, unwrinkle my brow, bring a smile to my lips, and echo in my voice; and his heart will be opened. And who is there who will say nay to my goods when his hearts feels my love?

I greet this day with love in my heart.

And most of all I love myself. For when I do I will zealously inspect all things which enter my body, my mind, my soul, and my heart. Never do I allow my mind to be attracted to evil and despair, rather I will uplift it with the knowledge and wisdom of the ages. Never do I allow my soul to become complacent and satisfied, rather I feed it with meditation and prayer. Never do I

allow my heart to become small and bitter, rather I share it and it grows and warms the earth.

 

We have to take high regard into protecting Our mind! Xoxoxo
