I recently talked about guarding your thoughts. I must admit, I have let my thoughts run wild this week. I had stated, “There is no such thing as an idle thought since each thought or perception held in the mind immediately generates your experience.” It is a truth, but at times, it can be difficult to take hold of your thoughts. It is worth the effort and the work because when we don’t, we cause so much misery that is unnecessary.
Yesterday, as I was letting my thoughts go wild trying to figure out every scenario and outcome of a situation and how to get what I thought was right and just achieved, the mind of Christ came through so gently. Somehow, that quiet voice came through even with all the noise that was going on in my head.
I heard, “Do you trust Me, really trust Me?” I was so surprised by the question. My first thought was, of course, I trust you. After some reflection, I realized I was not trusting. I wanted what I wanted and, as the spoiled brat in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory sang, “I want it now!”
All that noise in my head communicated many things but not trust. I was totally attached to the outcome instead of opening a space and asking, “What is best for all involved?” or just accepting and allowing what I was feeling and experiencing.
The situation has caused sleepless nights and quite a few tears. I came up with terrible outcomes. Talk about creating suffering. I cannot possibly know the outcome but was creating outcomes in my head. That definitely was not helpful to me or anyone else. What I think today, or what I value today, will show up another day. I might not be able to stop the situation, but I can change my reaction.
At this point, I was given an image. A scene from the movie, Miracle on 34th Street, came to my mind. It was toward the end movie when the little girl did not get what she asked Santa for. She just kept saying, “I believe,” over and over again. I found myself saying that over and over any time the story started playing in my head. It worked! It helped break the patterns. I realized I forgot setting my intention every day.
The statement I found:
My intention this day is to use time constructively from the relearning of what it means to abide in the kingdoms of Heaven and to fulfill by function. My function is healing, and healing requires the presence of Christ, for only Christ can express the Love that brings healing into being.
I momentarily had amnesia. I am that Love, I have the ability to bring Love into the situation for healing.
All this led to the quieting of my thoughts. The situation is not over, but my outlook is changing and will continue to change. How do I know? I will continue to set my intent every day and continue to break the scenarios that are going off in my head. I believe I know that I am supported and loved. All will work together for good for those that love.
My deepest desire is to share the Love of God, Source, Divine, but without intention, desire does not stay front and center. When things get difficult, it is important to keep our intention in the forefront of our thoughts in order to fulfill our deepest desires.
Thank you for spending some time with me today.
