Success

My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and talents.  ~ Mahatma Gandhi

The Relationship between Fear and Faith

 Good morning!


I would like to share from my ponderings this morning about a common theme I have been hearing over the last week....the relationship between fear and faith.
A quote was recently shared with me on this ...
" “I must be aware of bad things, and guarded about bad things, and I must watch out for bad things by trying to guide myself toward good things.” You can’t do both at the same time. You can’t watch out for bad things, and allow good things at the same time. It is vibrationally not possible."- Esther Hicks
My statement around this topic that I have referred to for years is "...in increasing measure."
It comes from this verse in 2 Peter 1...
"For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. "
Along with this one ....
"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."
It's not that you can't be aware of things around you that are not the best or most favourable in life, but you can understand that, your focus and attention is a currency. And where you "spend" it by giving your focus to something, is where you are investing in your life.
What do you want to grow more of in your life? Fear or Faith? If faith, and all the fruits that come from it, are what you are after, start investing your currency of choice and attention in that direction MORE often than you would towards fear-based and non-serving thoughts/behaviours/actions.
TIP THE SCALE!! Go for at least 51% invested and you have a big share in what it is that you want to be experiencing more of....because you ARE (at that point) !! 😃 😃
Daily, consider investing so that you can increase your percentage of "shares" in the stocks of YOUR life. Even just 1% better each day adds up. 😉 Make your life a good investment that you keep building on.
Fear will always be where it is at....vibrationally it stays the same...dense, heavy, stagnant.
And when you are experiencing more of the excellent and praiseworthy stuff in your life, you are also putting yourself in a position to see the bigger picture...to be inspired, connected....to help more people, and to come up with bigger and better solutions that will help to lift and build up others as well in their own lives.
It's not just for you to consider, in increasing measure, more of the good and faithful things in this world, it's for us all.
