You cannot have your cake, and eat it too.
You cannot have peace of mind, and have your ailment too.
You cannot have a sense of divine Love, and have your jittery nervousness too.
You cannot have a feeling of toleration and kindliness and faith, and have your digestive troubles too.
You cannot have harmony continually unfolding in your life, and enjoy gossip and criticism too.
You cannot have power in prayer, and the luxury of resentment and condemnation too.
You cannot build a new consciousness and a new body, and live mentally in the dead past too.
…Choose you this day whom ye will serve… but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. (Joshua 24:15).
Each day we face many opportunities to decide who and what we will serve. The totality of those choices determine our state of mind, spiritual status and progress as well as the environment around us. We make those choices either by actively deciding or by passively refusing to decide. Either way we make the choice and the result of those choices, active and passive, impact everything else we do, think and say.
So, if we want to have peace of mind, joy, a sense of divine love, harmony, faith, tolerance, kindliness, power in prayer, a new consciousness and a new body, then we must choose to serve the Lord. Many times it is not an easy choice and often it the the hardest choice. But, oh the blessings unbounded that we receive when we choose God’s way for us. Those blessings are worth infinitely more than that which we sacrificed to make them and live by them.
For there is no price to high and no sacrifice to great, that they will not be worth God’s blessings. Without them we are destined to search in vain for our true rewards. With them we are assured of a life in the garden God created for us. There to abide in peace, joy and love, now and forever.
Serving God,
