“He who blames others has a long way to go on his journey. He who blames himself is halfway there. He who blames no one has arrived.”-- Chinese Proverb
I rejoice in Christ’s definite atonement for me. I can find no joy in an atonement that was
equally offered for those who are presently in hell. Such a general “atonement” that doesn’t
always atone terrifies the wits out of me and could never provide me with a moment of joy.
But knowing that Christ had me specifically on His mind and in His heart when He was living,
suffering, dying, and rising again – that’s enough to give me immeasurable joy. Definite
atonement means definite joy. - Dr. David Murray

A good example, illustrating this quote…is my idea that Z-Hell ( 1, 2, 3)…is the most probable, end-times tribulation scenario. Perhaps we need a video, to emphasize this quote idea?
“In the Christian story God descends to reascend. He comes down;… down to the very roots and sea-bed of the Nature He has created. But He goes down to come up again and bring the whole ruined world up with Him”. -C.S. Lewis-

Avoid words of complaining. Even if things are not up to your expectations, try to create positive vibrations with your presence and good words. What is the use of complaining, you are here to add positive vibrations, not to intensify the existing negative situations of life. Be the positive force; stand firm with conviction that love alone is the invincible power on earth. Be the harbinger of love and peace.

What are you practicing? Worrying, anxiety, fear, negativity? Tathastu! That shall be. You shall have that which you practice everyday and repeat unconsciously. Practice patience, integrity, character, love, forgiveness, kindness. Tathastu! That shall be. You shall have what you practice everyday!
Love and light!

We all have an insatiable hunger for attention from our very birth. We do so much to receive it. We go into depression without it! When will we learn to pay kind attention to every little thing we do or think or share in our mundane repetitive mechanical life? Paying kind attention is mindfulness and that alone can transform our lives from monotony to moment to moment celebration.
Don’t jump to your next task once you read this; stop, be in the moment, breathe, feel life in its essence, then move!

“Success comes in a lot of ways, but it doesn’t come with money and it doesn’t come with fame. It comes from having a meaning in your life, doing what you love and being passionate about what you do. That’s having a life of success. When you have the ability to do what you love, love what you do and have the ability to impact people. That’s having a life of success. That’s what having a life of meaning is.”
– Tim Tebow
