If we remember to seek the kingdom first then we are guaranteed that “everything will be added unto us.” In other words, choose now and you can have it ALL.
Willingness to seek the kingdom of Christ means having a living spiritual practice of choosing Love. It means eliminating all false idols and choosing to value the God of Love in our hearts above else. It means keeping our sacred heart immaculate. Choose to affirm and energize only Love.
We all have a sacred heart. The question is will we choose to keep that inner temple pure or will we choose to energize judgments? When I choose to energize a single thought that anyone is less than the Christ then immediately I can feel I’ve chosen a false idol and I’ve sullied the sacred temple of my heart. Choosing to idolize my own opinions is no longer acceptable to me and so I place them on the altar. I make a holy offering of them.
Every day I find myself having to choose again. The habit of choosing thoughts of lack and attack was my preference for so long – how many lifetimes? Hundreds, thousands? I’ve decided this is the lifetime I am choosing the Christ. I AM that I AM and I AM choosing to BE myself as I AM. I will no longer entertain false idols, in any form.
Becoming masterful at anything requires dedication and devotion. What Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called a “divine discipline.” What Rev. Dr. Michael Beckwith calls a “blissipline” is becoming my way of walking in the world.
My one and only responsibility is to remember the Christ Presence in every moment. It used to be SO daunting and now it is my joy. Through cultivating the habit of choosing Love, Christ is rising in me! I AM reclaiming my immaculate heart!
