A MATTER OF TIME

Thought Adjuster: “It is a matter of time until it is no more. What do I mean by that? Spiritual growth occurs over time. This is why the first leg of your eternal career takes place in a world of time and space, starting with nine gestational months.

Time is needed for the development of your body, but even more so, for the development of your mind, spirit, and soul. You are experiential beings, and if you were to remain complacent in your lifestyle, no growth would occur in the finer layers of your being, as growth depends on your experiences and the knowledge and wisdom you draw from them.

Indeed, two individuals going through similar experiences may grow through them differently. What does it tell you? It implies that growth also depends on your attitude and perception, as each situation offers different vantage points. It all depends on how you look at them.

Are you in a state of resistance or one of receptivity? Do you resent the experience, or do you embrace it knowing that it will pollinate your soul? Looking back at your life from this perspective, you will be able to pinpoint your growth spurts, the moments when you unearthed the blessings buried within painful situations.

Difficulties can bring the best or the worst in you. Keep it in mind as you go through your days. Live with awareness and gratitude for the good that will come out of them. The Father blesses you abundantly—far more than you will ever fathom. Your Thank-You notes will always come short in proportion to your blessings.

Do not lead a dull life, as it would not deposit many colorful memories in its photo album. Rather, take mental snapshots of all the moments that are not flatlining. Those are those that fertilize your soul, tone it, and sculpt it. Be assured that the ‘after’ picture will be worth displaying on the Father’s mantelpiece.”
