Topic:
The Effect Of Planning Ahead
As soon as you start
planning ahead in your life, looking and planning ahead makes something
happen to your spirit. When the Light of God pours into the darkness of
your heart, mind, and soul, reality takes on the warm glow of hope. To
look ahead and plan ahead means we have the hope and Light of God
shining within us. However, what if I see no possibility of change in
the future? What do I do if there are medical or physical reasons why my
future is going to be the same as my past? What do I do if my future
looks dark because of medical or physical reasons I cannot control? What
if I do not want the physical circumstances I am in but I am still stuck
with these physical circumstances and I cannot change them? Where is the
hope for me? The answer to these questions is at the heart of whether we
want to take charge of our lives. The essential question is, do we want
the physical circumstances we are in to determine our life, or do we
want to make our own choices and take charge of our circumstances? If we
choose to take charge of our circumstances rather than letting our
circumstances take charge of us, then we can plan ahead. However, if we
let our circumstances take charge of our life, planning is of little
value. For no matter how much we plan, if we chose not to take charge of
our life, then the outcome of our life is not determined by us…but by
the circumstances over which we have chosen not to take charge.
Paradoxically, it is required we be hard as nails and soft as cotton.
The Light has to be kept on while the darkness kept off.
In more practical terms, outside circumstances may come against us,
but we can rule over them when we have the Light or God's love inside of
us. Our job is two-fold. Our job is to keep the Light and love in, and
keep the darkness out. The barrier we place in our heart using our human
will can serve two purposes. Like the roof and walls of a house keep the
cold out, the roof and walls can also serve to keep the heat in.
Likewise, the barrier we place in our heart can keep out the darkness
while keeping in the Light.
