Good Morning Garden

Your destiny depends entirely upon your own mental conduct. You may think that you know this already, but if you do not act upon it, it is certain that you do not really know it. Most people would be amazed to discover how much negative thinking they indulge in. Thought is so swift and habit is so strong that unless you are very careful you will constantly transgress.

Suppose that, quite without your knowledge, an invisible dictaphone were strapped on your shoulders the first thing tomorrow morning, and that you carried it about all day until the last thing tomorrow night. Then suppose that this record were played over to you so that every word you had uttered for a whole day was repeated to you. Well, if you are an average human being you would probably be embarrassed. Yet it really does happen that everything we say, and think and do, is recorded – in the subconscious mind – and our daily experience is simply that record being played over to us by the Law of Being.

Never forget that the circumstances of your life tomorrow are molded by your mental conduct of today.

I have chosen the way of truth…(Psalm 119:30).
The old saying that you are what you eat has a spiritual corollary. Your life is what you think. If one has ever tried to spend any amount of time without having any negative thoughts, one realizes quickly how many negative thoughts we indulge in a short time frame. We spend much of our lives as spiritual persons overcoming the world’s propensity to instill negative thinking in us. As we work to overcome this we soon find that we are unable on our own to totally overcome negativity in our thoughts, words and deeds. That revelation is the gateway to the understanding that we depend on God to ensure our capacity for love and faith. It is when we give God the reigns of leadership in our lives that we are able to stay on that narrow high path. That path leads through our gardens here below to our eternal joy above.

God dependent,
