Become

As Jesus left the house, he was followed by two blind men crying out, "Mercy, Son of David! Mercy on us!" When Jesus got home, the blind men went in with him. Jesus said to them, "Do you really believe I can do this?" They said, "Why, yes, Master!"
He touched their eyes and said, "Become what you believe." It happened. They saw. Then Jesus became very stern. "Don't let a soul know how this happened." But they were hardly out the door before they started blabbing it to everyone they met. Matthew 9:27-31

Become what you believe! I love this statement by Jesus. What do you believe about Jesus? What do you believe about what God can do? Is Jesus loving? Can God forgive? Is God caring? Can Jesus give you a life of abundance and happieness? Is God angry and judgemental? Is Jesus unforgiving and unkind? You will become what you believe. I love the saying that "what you think about is what you get so be very careful about what you think about." There is also one that says "when you change how you look at things, things change," and "change your thoughts, change your life." You will become what you believe. If God is unforgiving and judgemental I will have a tendency to live my life out of fear and anxiety, attempting to make sure that I never displease God. If I believe God is loving, beautiful, caring, and kind then I will live my life in confidence, peace, caring and love myself. You will become what you believe, so what do you believe? What do you believe about God? This will shape your life.

So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that's coming when Jesus arrives. Don't lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn't know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God's life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, "I am holy; you be holy." I Peter 1:13-16

Put your mind in gear it says here - I would say look at what you believe it will shape your life. What thoughts are you thinking about yourself, God and others? It will shape your life. Be shaped by God's life. What do you believe about how Jesus lived? It will shape your life right now. What do you believe about how Jesus taught us to treat each other in relationships? It will shape how you treat others and how you live your life. What do you believe about how God loves? You will become what you believe. It was said of Franklin D. Roosevelt that he had "a remarkable capacity to transmit his cheerful strength to others, to allow those who hear it to begin to feel it and take part in it, to rejoice in it - and to return it tenfold by their own confidence." Will you believe that God is loving and allow this cheerfulness and love to become you so that you can return it tenfold to those around you? FDR made people believe that all things were possible and when they believed they would become what they believed and this country changed. What do you believe about God? Believe that God is love, is beautiful, is abundant, is expansive, and is kindness and become what you believe.
