Call me not keeping up with the times but I am neither New
Age nor Neo-anything. In fact, I would
deem myself more of an old-fashioned kind of girl. I believe that God can – Period. His word never stated or said that people
could not prosper by the works of their own hands; people did so all the
time-since the beginning of time. Take
Oprah for instance, with many accomplishments up underneath her belt-she lacks
in many ways. She has never married, no
posterity to leave her wealth to, and was raised in a not so sound family
life. All she has is wealth but she is
not whole. Her entire existence has been
external accomplishments. As there were
ten lepers healed by Jesus, they all received the healing that they were
imploring of him, however, only the one was made whole, which turned back and
gave thanks to the Lord. There is
something to be said about giving God all the praise, glory and honor and not
delving into what totally belongs to him by taking credit for one self. Some are satisfied with “a” thing- be it
wealth, health, family or prosperity.
However, I seek what only few obtain and that is the fullness of the
blessing of the Father in every area of my life. I do not believe that we have to sacrifice
one thing for another because when God blesses, his intent is to bless
everything that we are associated with-not just a portion or specific area in
our life. Maybe at different intervals,
but when it is all said and done there is a comprehensive, aggregated, and
cumulative totality in God, which can only be quantified by God as a complete
and blessed life. Why settle when we can
have ALL.
