February 11, 2019 www.PositiveChristianity.org presents Positive Daily Inspiration ALLOW GOD TO WRITE ON YOUR HEART February 11, 2019 www.PositiveChristianity.org for the 20th year presents Positive Daily Inspiration Allow God to Write on Your Heart "The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life." Job 33:4 You have known many people in your lifetime that have spent their lives trying to ignore inner peace. Think about it. They practice worry and fear all the time in their lives. They walk around like stretched-out rubber bands. And yet, when they take God's yoke upon them, the total peace and knowingness of God takes up residence within them. So many times, when we go to God. we say, "Listen, Lord, Your servant is speaking." Since we are on a self-correcting journey, we need to say: "Speak, Lord, Your servant is listening." So often, prayer is like a DVD. We play the prerecorded DVD, over and over again, to God. We say, "Oh, God, I have a problem," and we go on to describe it in great detail. Each day, we do the same thing. Then we wonder why we are locked into the problem. How much better it would be to buy a blank DVD, put it into a DVD recorder, and let God record on it. To solve our problems, we have to go to a higher level of mind. The Bible says, "All wisdom is from above." Therefore, we have to be ready and willing to have God come through our minds. Sometimes, if we receive answers to our prayers of the limited concepts that we have in our human mind, it is the worst thing in the world for us. How many of us have received answers to our own human prayers and then discovered they are the worst things in our lives? We get what we asked for in prayer – and now we are praying to get out of the mess that we have created! I have experienced that many times in my own life. If only I would have listened, I would have been blessed beyond anything I could have imagined. It has been said with great humor, that when God wishes to punish us, God answers our own limited view of prayers. To illustrate, a little girl went to her father and asked for a nickel. The father drew out his wallet and offered her a five-dollar bill. The little girl said: "I do not want that! I want a nickel!" So many times, it is like that between us and God. We have a blessing 200 times better than what we think we want, but we are blind to it, and limit ourselves. A lady tells the story about when she lived in a small town. Whenever she went into town to buy a dress, she was disappointed because she could never find anything to fit her. So, she decided to buy her clothes through mail-order. On the mail-order form was the line and asked, "If we do not have the article you ordered in stock, may we substitute?" One time she unknowingly answered yes. She was upset when she got the letter that began: "We are sorry. We do not have the article you ordered in stock. We have sent you a substitute of greater value." When it arrived, she was surprised to discover that the company sent her something worth three times the amount of the item she ordered. She found out it was company policy to do that, so she always looked for the "may we substitute" question on the order form, and answered yes, every time she ordered. We need to do the same thing with God and say: "Yes, God, You may substitute. If You want to give me something of greater value than what I want, go ahead. I will take it." Prayer is not overcoming God's reluctance – it is laying firm hold of God's highest willingness. Many times, we have to drop the rock we are holding so God can fill our hands with diamonds! POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER: Dear God, today I do not complain to You. I listen. I am humble and teachable. Write on my heart a new way of feeling. Write in my mind a new way of thinking. I take time to listen now in the silence of prayer... Thank You God. In Jesus Christ name… Amen POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: I am ready to accept all my good from God.
