EGO

Hello Friends

I pray all is will with you and your family. All is well with me and my family. We are counting it ALL joy, for the Lord is providing what we need. Thank you Lord for your provisions! I pray that you will read & receive this message as the Lord sees fit.

We all have a NATURE (a divine place of well being). For that matter everything in the universe has a NATURE. Think about that very first nine months life. We started with No Thing (nothing). We had no control over what was to happen. NATURALLY, we developed eyes, a nose, our limbs, our organs, all of this happened without our control. We trusted nature to complete or develop what we needed to survive outside of the womb.

Once outside the womb we stop trusting in our NATURE. We start believing that we can't trust in our nature. We believe that we are in control. Once we are in control we believe that we are what we do, we are what we have or we are what other people think of us. So we develop what we call an EGO. In essence we Edge God Out.

Guess what guys if you believe you are what you do, when you can't then you are not. If you believe you are what you have, when you don't have then you are not, If you believe that you are what people think of you then when people don't think well of you then you are not well. The truth of the matter is that we started from (No Where) into the (Now Here) and we are going to return to the (No Where). We are all going nowhere(No Where) & we are going to leave with nothing(No Thing). So let's put away our EGO (Edge God Out) and allow our NATURE (divine place of well being) to take control to use us in conjunction with our universe.

So How do we let go of our EGO and Let God? (1)We start by removing our fears. You can trace any source of our ego back to a fear. To remove a fear, become curious about that fear. If you are afraid of planes, become curious about planes, study them, find out more about them. If you knew who walks beside you during this journey you would have nothing (No Thing) to fear. (2)Take all the THINGS that you are attached to (clothing, furniture, automobiles etc.) and release the attachment. Understand that we came here with nothing (no thing) and we are going to leave here with nothing (no thing). All things that are here will pass away. For most of us we only use about 20% of the clothing we have. The other 80% we just store in our closets or drawers and never use. Yet if someone was to ask or take 1 item of that 80% how would you feel? You would feel a loss for something that you don't even use. (3) Take the need to be in control and shift it to trust. Begin to have a trust in your nature and the nature of others. God has given each of us a divine purpose (nature) which we can trust is in our best interest. Just because someone may be different from you or do things a little different than the way you would have done it, doesn't mean that God doesn't have a purpose (nature) for that person or their actions. (4) Shift from your since of entitlement to radical humility. Stay humble in all things. Understand that God has the only entitlement & He distributes it as He sees fit.

Life Quote "The sage is kind to the kind, and kind to the unkind. Because the nature of his being is kindness. Be wise and help all beings impartially, abandoning none" Tao Ta Ching.

Let us pray that we will remove our fears, release our attachments, shift our control to trust, and replace our since of entitlement to humility. Lord give us the strength, courage and wisdom to complete the tasks that YOU have PREpared before us. We thank you Lord for being the You that You are. We thank you for Your divine purpose in our lives and allowing us to be content within them. We pray this prayer in the precious name of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. Amen
