“A/THE GOD-CENTRED LIFE”

Posted on by

   Living (and Following) “a/the God-Centred Life”                                                           

 

Though I’m not “really religiously-minded, but far more spiritual”, here are some brief notes (in my indecipherable scrawl) that I made from a recent TV “program, that I thought made excellent points on following the “God-driven” life, so thought I’d share…

 

Enjoy

PS:

Note:

In these notes for simplicity’s sake (whose Simplicity, c?) , I’ve used the word Him for God, though God, Infinite Spirit, The Source, Ground of all Being, Grand Designer (enough now, or whatever term you choose to use) has no gender. 

I’m NOT into trying to convert people –  only “drop-kicks”

There’s got to be “something more out there.”

The wonder of a  God of new beginnings, fresh starts. God meets us where we’re at.

It involves a SHIFT: mental and spiritual. God can turn everything around, through engaging us in a new expectation.  “God can turn our deepest scars into even the brightest stars.”

Build a “God-centred” dream for your life.

 

Submitting to God is “centre-driven”- it’s a priority shift. It’s not following what you want. It’s a new way of looking at life. Seek Him, the desires of God. Your world is then enlarged. “God, what do you want me to do?”

 

Seek Him and He will gives you the desires of your heart. My expectations are then in Him.  It’s then just a matter of connecting the dots.  Come and follow me and I will expand your world far more than you can realise. It’s.so simple!

 

It’s simply a matter of putting God first and me attached. Put your expectations in Him.

Attach to the plan and have an expectation…of success, of your dreams (even the wildest ones)  coming to fruition.

 

Always remember, God is for us and not against us. Submit and trust.

God, what do YOU want me to do? Then just give it a go!

Remember you don’t make the wind, you just set the sails… that is the course of the unique journey that is your life!

    Hi

    CAN’T KEEP UP…BUT THANKS FOR THE “THANX”

    I’ve had many many hundreds of thousands (“zillions”) of comments on my various other WordPress blogs at https://craigsblogs.wordpress.com/2011/09/09/craigs-list-of-blogs-updated-sept-2011/
    in recent years …true!) …a few of my blogs went “balistically viral” a few years back.

    Obsessive or WHAT! Am really pleased you are enjoying my writings, as the reason I write is to share. However I am unable to keep up with the comments and was spending entire days just on replies on my various blog pages.

    Though I’m rather “driven”, I still get really, really fatigued (there’s a few books there). so sorry can’t reply individually to all you good people scattered around the planet, but DO try to read as many as possible daily (and even moderate a few when I get a “mo”), I got swamped with comments on my various blogs, so have had to close them off on all of my blogs, except for one or two of particular interest to me

    Sorry and hope you can understand.

    * “Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.”

    I do really appreciate your liking, linking to and/or following this blog (and “writing in”), so “thanks for the thanx”

    “As we live and move and have our being, so from this vision, we create heaven in our own lives… and perhaps even heaven on earth.”
    – craig (as inspired by Acts 17:28 and the words of Felicia Searcy)

    “Aim at the earth and you may not get off the ground.a
    “Aim at the stars and you may reach the moon.”
    “Aim at heaven and you’ll have earth thrown in…
    and you may even hit the stars.”
    – craig (as inspired by the famous quote by CS Lewis – 24th May 2012)

    “When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.”
    – Leonardo da Vinci

    When (or if ever) you arrive in heaven, let faith, hope and love be the wings that carried you there.”

    – as adapted from the inspiring words of Jonathan Edwards, former minister in New England, Massachusetts

    “The Greatest Race: Living by (with) faith, hope and love is the highest podium any person can reach, God’s podium that anyone stand on.”
    – c

    “Having pursued the goals, the dreams set before us and run the race with persistence and endurance, after giving it all. Then one day standing on the summit of life, breathing in the pure sweet oxygen of achievement, totally satisfied in running the greatest race, the race of life one that ANYONE can run and win.”

    “If a man is called to be a street-sweeper,
    he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted,
    or Beethoven composed music, or
    Shakespeare wrote poetry.
    He should sweep streets so well
    that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say,
    here lived a great street sweeper
    who did his job well.”
    – Dr Martin Luther King, Jr.

    “I wish you well on a rainy day
    I wish you rainbows to brighten your day
    To feel your quiet moments with a special kind of warmth
    to remind you that happiness can happen
    when you least expect it.

    I wish you rainbows to make you laugh and smile
    to show you the simple beauty of life
    and to give you the magic of dreams come true.

    I wish you rainbows
    I wish you well.”

    – Larry S. Chengges

    ”Since I can never see your face,
    And never shake you by the hand,
    I send my soul through time and space
    To greet you. You will understand.”
