“One for One”
July 11th, 2010
“Eye for Eye”! “Tooth for Tooth”! I am
sure most of you have heard those “one for one” in the Holy
Book. But I have another type of “one for one” thought to
pass by all of you. Ever had one of those days, when one
thing after another goes wrong? I am leaning towards the
“simple-moments-gone-bad” such as; you left the coffee pot
on, the coffee turns so bitter that it is undrinkable and
you so much wanted that quick cup to keep you going. Or your
child drops a soda in back seat of your vehicle, the lid
pops off and soda is everywhere. And the day of simple
irritations continue as time passes. One negative event
right after another throughout a 24 period of time; your
heart advances into a state of aggravation and negativity.
Want to know an idea for how to switch such a day like that
into a much better realm of light. Well, each time a
“simple-moment-gone-bad” happens, just simply place a
positive thought right after it. Like with the coffee pot
incident; yes the coffee went bitter and you did not get
another cup, but the coffee pot did not short out and start
a fire in the kitchen area. The soda your child dropped was
not coffee or milk. Coffee leaves a much harder stain to get
out and milk can turn into a sour odor even after being
cleaned, plus a child cleans up quickly and was not
physically hurt.
This positive thought process followed
right after a negative “simple-moment-gone-bad” can really
and truthfully lead your heart and soul into a more happy
state. I don’t think Satan only looks for souls in dreadful
situations, but he also looks for ones that are just having
a simply bad day. By leaving the negativity within our
thoughts is a weakness that I am sure Satan scouts out and
uses. But if we follow-up each negative episode with a
positive thought of how much more it could had been bad, we
are placing a wall of goodness between us and a totally bad
day of “drag-me-down state”. I have been trying to use this
method of adding a positive to each negative for a while
now. I have found out that even though each day that has
been proceeding into a “totally-not-good” day has not been
leading into a depressed and feeling worthless state.
Instead it has been allowing our Lord to place more hope and
happiness into my life. I do realize that life may never get
any better for me, but it has not been dragging me down as
much as it did with me using this simple “one for one”. I
seem to be happier than before. I am for sure far more
hopeful. I can think more clearly and see that Satan uses
versatile trickery in the “simple-moment-gone-bad”. What a
crafty way to beat God’s children down and lure them into a
bad frame of mind, which will eventually affect the goodness
in one’s heart and soul.
I think when we have really bad situations
happen in our life such as: illness, injury, death, etc; we
pray more for help and turn to our Lord for His strength to
carry on. But when it is just the “simple-moments-gone-bad”
we don’t and in some ways the simple bad can end-up doing
just as much damage and hardship as the serious ones. Start
placing a battle plan to block the weaken path to your heart
and soul, with a “simple-bad-goes-positive” to follow each
simple bad that happen that day. Believe me when I say it
really does work. I fully trust our God is also reaching out
to us during the simple bad as well as the serious bad. He
knows every crafty trick Satan tries and I feel He wants us
to figure-out that Satan does not leave a stone unturned to
lead souls down bad roads. If one concentrates or dwells on
the “simple-moments-gone bad” one will miss much happiness.
Try a “one-for-one” today and see for yourself the
difference it can make. What can it hurt; it doesn’t even
cost a penny; but the value to your heart and soul is worth
gold!


Matthew 5:37-39
"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for
eye, and tooth for tooth. But I tell you, Do not resist an
evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn
to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and
take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. If someone
forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to
the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who
wants to borrow from you.

“Whispers”
I hear words in a gentle silence,
In those soft silent words I hear,
Whispers of God's loving verses,
I receive the strength to carry on.
If you've ever been so totally alone,
Then you know of these quiet tones,
The ones where there is tranquility,
The living soul of Dear Sweet Jesus!
