I got the thought this morning that the actions I take to discipline myself, i.e., not eating junk food, walking, laying off computer/tv, praying more, taking my herbs, learning my herbs, cleaning, gardening, are actually essential not to me but to the universe. The energy I radiate, negative or positive directly affect those in my circle.
True? I don't know. sounds a little hokey but it also sounds reasonable. God makes us responsible for each other; he also uses our prayers to help others. these disciplines are prayers. serious prayers. They are driven by a need to be a better human being. It's a visible sign of love and respect.
So, when I abstain from eating potato chips for breakfast, I'm bringing strength to the man down the street who's drinking is threatening his marriage. This is a little (way) more serious than just trying to lose weight.
So, my question is, am I making this up or is it you, Lord, who are speaking these words to me?
