Learning Value In Our Story

Oftentimes the only obstacle blocking us from receiving of the vast abundance God has for us is accepting our ‘value and worth.’

Many have been led to deny their story, by hearing ‘keep your business to yourself’, or similar phrases. Or perhaps you discounted your feelings because you heard, ‘things aren’t that bad.’

We hear powerful and amazing sermons, attend top-rated seminars and yet somehow we feel things just are not changing in our life.

It’s time to tell your story, to validate your worthiness and open yourself to receive ALL that God has – just for YOU! Once we own our feelings, whatever they are now or have been in the past, we receive grace. When we know we are whole, complete and healthy children of God, we can tell our story proudly. We know that God has brought us through to this moment to serve as a blessing to ourselves and others. Our trials, tribulations and subsequent victories prepared us for who we are today. The past is gone, Thanks God.

Accepting our true nature of ‘goodness’, we can fully receive and apply the prosperity lessons we are learning. We say ‘Yes’ to God and ourselves. Go ahead and give yourself liberty to tell your story. You can write it out. You can share within a safe environment, a loving support group or trusted friend. You may even find while sharing that your story is the same as another. We are each a part of the ‘One Family of God.’

Doing this exercise during my weekly sessions within the HIV/AIDS community has brought new life springing forth from these individuals who had accepted they were no good and good for nothing. As we each share our story healing has taken place in wondrous ways. The group is extremely supportive and encourages each other to tell the whole story. So we share about drug use and abuse. We tell about our childhood horrors of being molested or raped. We share from a place of safety knowing the others will still embrace us with unconditional love. We trust and know that our past is just that, over and done with. That the past is something we cannot change. We then place total forgiveness around the situation and persons involved, including and most importantly ourselves. We proceed to wrap the situation and people in absolute love. Lives are changing. New life is ever present. The individuals are currently doing things that they thought were impossible. They are going back to school to learn a new trade, computer skills; careers in the medical field among others. Moving out from the shelters into their own homes is another result. This is happening because they have been freed from the shackles of their past. They have allowed a new thought to be entertained in their memory and hearts. Our stories are real and worthy to be told. You are worthy and deserve to live a full life void of unforgiveness and bitte
ess. It is possible to release, forgive and love any and all unpleasant situations from your past. It is now time to live life fully in harmony and joy.

Whatever is holding you back from fully experiencing life, remember it, forgive it and then love it! This is the way to a wonderful life experience here on earth. Your story is whatever you say it is, it does not have to be true for anyone other than yourself. So tell it. Celebrate your victory over the past. Honor exactly where you are this very day and LIVE!

Watch miracles unfold as you lovingly embrace your awesome, wonderful self.

Remember, I Love You.
