View

How do you view the world? I spend a lot of time in my sessions talking to people about their "view" of the world around them. Many times couples see the exact same behavior, but take it to mean two totally different things. The way that you view the world comes from how you think and what is inside your heart and mind. So what is there? Is it the kingdom of God that is there, that informs your view of the world around you?

"You're blessed when you care. At the moment of being 'care-full,' you find yourselves cared for.
"You're blessed when you get your inside world—your mind and heart—put right. Then you can see God in the outside world.
"You're blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That's when you discover who you really are, and your place in God's family."
Matthew 5:7-9
I hope that we all get our inside world right. I hope that we all do not worry so much about being a Christian as much as we do about being Christ-like. I hope that we all do not worry so much about being cared for, but caring for others. I hope we all do not worry so much about being served, but serving. I hope that we all do not worry so much about being right, but being kind. I hope we all do not worry so much about being right, but being kind with cooperation. This is when we will discover who we really are.
Namaste'
