Ready? One, two, three… My secret? A grateful heart! Many people fill their hearts with very bad stuff!
I fill mine with great stuff!
Not that I don’t experience bad stuff, I do, and in plentiful ways.
But I don’t let them linger. Ancient Chinese Philosophers would say that you cannot prevent the birds from flying over your thoughts but you can prevent them from building their nest.
What I ONLY allow to “nest” in my thought and my heart are the good stuffs.
Oh they’re not just good stuff, because when I embrace them and savor them, and praise and thank
God because of them, they become great stuff.
That is why my heart is Great-Full!
It is overwhelmingly full of great things I’m so thankful about.
I’ve 3 reflections to share with you my beloveds:
• 1 Thessalonians 5:19, “Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ
Jesus.”
• Luke 6:45, “The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil
man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his
mouth speaks.”
• Rabbi Harold Kushner, “If you concentrate on finding what is good in every situation, you will
discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul.
Therefore I give thanks to the Lord in ALL circumstances and obey God’s will. I fill my heart with
great things and from the overflow, I worship and praise God.
I concentrate on the good things in every situation and nurture my soul! Then from that vantage point I praise the Lord! From that vantage point I serve Him and His people! With seemingly unlimited potential.
Then I can rock on till Kingdom come!
Maranatha Lord Jesus!
