Consistency



Imagine if we forgot to take care of our personal hygiene every day; or imagine a mother forgetting to feed her child. Or what if we forgot to go to work and didn’t bother paying our bills? The thought of these actions taking place may sound unrealistic because these are common sense daily routines and activities we make, but imagine if we lost the consistency in doing these things? It may seem impossible because these are important duties that must be fulfilled, yet at times we fail to remain consistent with even great responsibilities.

These responsibilities that I am referring to are our spiritual journey. Our spiritual journey is our walk of Life. Our walk of Life is the continual discovery of our true Self in the image and likeness our Creator-God. However, we can’t discover our true Self to the fullest if there are always interruptions or distractions that makes us sway away from being consistent.

What if we really took time and desired to be consistent in our spiritual journey? A walk that doesn’t require any pressure that says “you must” but an inspiring thrust that reminds you of how great it is to renew and revive your soul; desire self analysis; devote some time in prayer and or serving others. Whatever it takes to constantly become aware everyday of our divine nature is a step in discovering our true Self.

The consistency of our spiritual life shouldn’t be a burden, but a desire to have a heart like David and be a man/woman after God’s own heart. This heart however, is not the physical but spiritual. We must strive to become consistent in being like our Father by remaining/abiding in him through our thoughts, words, emotions, and actions. This is a walk that keeps us rooted and steadfast in our understanding that we are his precious stones. Therefore, we must remain strong in all that we do.

It is written, “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong.” (1 Corinthians 16:13). Keep in mind that remaining consistent is not always an easy job for the mind to attain, yet it is an everyday demand that requires our undivided attention, devotion and strength. And it is all worth it because it allows us to become our best.

The more we are aware of something, the more we become what we are aware of. Let us be reminded that every day is an opportunity to grow in divine knowledge and understanding. Every day is a new day to share a new revelation of the beauty of Christ. Nevertheless, we must learn to keep nurturing our divine intimacy and oneness with our Father from within. And this requires that you are faithful in being consistent, yes being conscious every second of every minute of every hour of everyday. Soon this consistency becomes your way of living.

So let’s keep the awareness of being consistent in what really matters, and that is You. It is never too late. Keep the flow of being reminded that only one thing matters and that is you discover the treasures God has for you, by remaining consistent in your walk of Life.
It is written, “Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain” (1 Corinthians 15:58).

Until then, make it a productive One,

No Way


There seems to be no way out- I say. No way out of this situation. I’ve batted, I’ve toiled, I’ve searched and I’ve wondered, will I ever find a way out of this misery. Why does it seem so difficult? Why do the obstacles seem to press me down and tangle me? The hurdles of life appear to be high and higher and the road more narrow. There seems to be no way, I say.

There seems to be no way out- they say. No way to make your dreams a living reality. No way to express your gifts and talents. No way to be all that God has called your to be. There is no way they said, that you can and will ever make it in this world. There is no way to fully express your creativity and make this planet a better place. For you are trapped in the system of an ongoing cycle, a cycle that leads to no where and in no where you will remain, for you are useless. There is no way out- they say.

There seems to be no out- you say. No way you can you make it and succeed in this world. No way for you to make a difference and become all that God has called you to be. There is no way for you to achieve your hearts desire, for the busyness of the world has taken you away- away to another world. This is the world where society often calls it the American dream. Yet is it truly your dream or someone else? There is no way out- you say.

There is a Way- He says. A way out of no way, for it is written, “I AM the Way the Truth and the Life” There is a way, a way out of poverty, and pain. There is a way out of bondage and lies. There is a way out of the tunnel of destruction that only leads to illusions that we have been faithfully following.

I AM the way out of no way. I AM the way to freedom, the way that expresses the gifts and talents to every man. I am the way to true happiness. I AM the way that searches every soul and awakens new meaning, new purpose in their lives. I AM the way that rejoices in all situations. I AM the way that gives strength and healing. The way that seems impossible, is the way to everlasting Life.

-Until then, make it a Productive One!

The Walk


It is your walk, a walk of glory
This is your divine walk the one that tells a story

A walk one must keep on knowing, a walk that keeps us spiritually growing.
A walk that challenges us and refines us, this is the true walk that reminds us
The plans of prosperity and the hope fulfilled as we walk in faith in His perfect will.

This is the walk that many misunderstands at times, yet you are that own unique treasure searching for that gold mine. The walk may seem bumpy, uncontrollable and much to bare, but believe in the power within that understands and continues to care.

It is not a walk to be concerned of who is with you, but a walk that knows that there is no one against you.
It is your chance to be all that you can be and live this precious moment as it is in eternity.

It is a walk that allows you to shine, a walk to share,
a walk to always treasure and not despair.
A walk that is unique and only you can take, no matter how the wind blows, yet learn to awake, that divine walk.

Now is the time to uphold this walk one step at time. Uphold the walk that was given to every human being, this is your walk of Life, the walk of glory.

-Until then make it a Productive One!
