In the depths of his being man always feels intuitively that there is a way out of his difficulties if only he can find it. The infant, as yet uncontaminated by the defeatism of his elders, simply refuses to tolerate inharmony on any terms, and therefore he demonstrates over it. When he is hungry he tells the world while many a sophisticated adult goes without. Does he find a pin sticking in some part of his anatomy? Not for him a sigh of resignation to the supposed “will of God,” or a whine about never having any luck, or a sigh that what cannot be cured must be endured. His instincts tell him that life and harmony are inseparable.
Refuse to tolerate anything less than harmony. You can have a happy and joyous life. But to do so you must seize the rudder of your own destiny and steer boldly for the port that you intend to make. What are you doing about your future?
For not the hearers of the Law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified (Romans 2:13).
What we do ultimately determines who we are and how we will live. Even though we say the right things and believe the right things, they alone are insufficient to make our lives harmonious and joyful. It is in action that all our thoughts and beliefs are put to work in the physical world and in action that our perception of that world is shaped. Joy and harmony are the mental states that flow from right actions.
So today, let us act in ways that ensure the joy and harmony of the moment and ensure our future joy and harmony in the garden God created for us. We do that by thinking, believing and most importantly, by acting according to God’s laws and will. Then we will have nothing but the best and will have to accept nothing less.
Accepting joy and harmony today,
Z gardener
