Topic: Turning Adversity Into Light And Productivity

  • You do not have to like adversity to use it. With the right mental approach, any accident, illness, pain, abuse, disability, misfortune, or darkness can be used to benefit you and others. You can turn darkness into a gift, but turning darkness into a gift is not what the darkness wants. With your will and intention pointed in God’s direction, darkness can be turned into a gift setting you on a path toward spiritual and unconditional love. The darkness in your life is not necessarily a negative if you choose to take the spiritual path as a response to the darkness.
  • Every darkness can be turned into a turning point, even a good turning point, if you turn your heart, mind, and soul toward God, toward the direction of Light, and toward the direction of His Love.
  • Turning points are places in life where you are able and do make choices to use your adversity rather than letting your adversity make you think you are helpless and defenseless against attack.
  • The choices you make in adversity do more for you or against you than the adversity itself. Your response to the adversity makes all the difference.
  • You have a physical body and a spiritual body. The darkness can be used to teach you to love unconditionally because when you have seen the darkness you can decide you want the Light of God.
  • When you walk the spiritual path toward God, the darkness has no power over you. When you walk the spiritual path toward God then you give love an opportunity to work in your life.
  • Success, personal achievement, and well-being should not be the goal of your life. The goal of life should be giving unconditional love that produces success, personal achievement, and well-being. When you pursue the goal of giving unconditional love your giving love produces a return of the love you sent out coming back to you multiplied many times over.
  • Unconditional love heals. When Jesus puts His hands on people the unconditional love in His hands heals them.
