LIFE is Really Easy?!

We have all heard that life is hard.
We mostly think that this is true, that difficulty is our lot.

I have decided that that is another lie that has been fostered upon us from day one.

From what planet do I come that this would even enter my consciousness, let alone be foolish (or courageous) enough to publicly declare such an idiotic statement?

Well, actually I don't know what planet I am FROM, nor does it matter; I am ON Planet Earth, as are all of us. And it is planet earth about which I am speaking.

For what makes LIFE easy or hard is really how I think about it. That is not to say there are not forces of good and forces of evil interplaying and involving us and our lives and all that. I would be the first to take away from the Biblical concept of the War between Righteousness/God and Sin/Satan. However, even in Scripture note that we are encouraged that the victory is won; we just have to believe it (use our thoughts to acknowledge it and not our eyes to see it first). We are told to above all else guard our heart for out of it comes the wellsprings of life. Our heart is our deepest thoughts, our deepest beliefs about ourselves, and God, and others.

So Life really is easy. We just have to think that it is.
The hard part is not Life, it is
the believing,
the guarding of our thoughts,
the believing that Loving Father
REALLY is in love with us,
REALLY DELIGHTS in us,
REALLY wants us to be
successful and
abundant and
giving and
delightful and
open to ourselves and others and
growing more and more intimate with Him.

Again, the process is really quite simple; the believing is the hard part.

To show you how simple it is, look at the Scripture that says, "Ask and you will receive..."
That is true, I am coming to believe, when applied to any part of life:
health,
relationships,
wealth (yes, money!),
insight,
discernment,
ability to reach out and touch others,
courage to look inside and see our own weaknesses AND strengths.

As an example of how easy and straightforward life is, if we will only decide, in the area of money, let me point you to a free ebook that was written many years ago. This author outlined very clearly and succintly the very precise and "certain way" of getting rich, also the reasons why we need to be and should be rich. While you are at it, and to acquire your free ebook, sign up for the delightful ezine that will come to you on a regular basis.

After you have obtained this wonderful little text,
BE SURE to READ it!!

After you have read it, be sure to let me know what you think and let's dialogue about it.

Oh yes, almost forgot.

One of my favorite questions:

When you say 'life is hard', to what are you comparing it?
