Healing
In the words of India Arie
I release all these disappointment
From my mental physical spiritual and emotional body
Cause I know that spirit guides me
And love lives inside me
That's why I today I take life as it comes

Claiming God's Kingdom
Matthew 6:33 "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." NIV
It is until we have found contentment with ourselves as we are, the place in which we dwell, the circumstances which we have been dealt, that we can finally enjoy the peace of happiness. When we constantly want more and desire what we do not have and where we are not that we are led not by the pursuit of happiness but by the pursuit of greed and desire. Our thirst is never quenched, our appetite is never satisfied, always striving for something just beyond our reach. Ironically it is once we let go of this desire, this greed, our pride and ego, when we give up trying to be something we are not, give up living beyond our means that movement happens in our lives. Once we are content being a pauper our inner prince is able to shine through. We are meant to live like kings and rule over the earth. But that means we must take care of it, of ourselves and of it's people. You cannot be a king if you are seeking gold, you are nothing more than a pirate in a fancy robe. In order to be a true king or queen you must truly humble yourself like the saints that came before us. Reconnect with God, the earth, yourself and all of God's people.
