The Force from the Source

Time is like blank space waiting for you to fill it. What will you do with your future? Will you bring forth something good from within?

You’ve been given gifts according to your aptitude. But talents take time to discover and diligence to develop. It’s not enough to merely have the desire to do, but you must discipline yourself to actually do and continue to do. “Just do it” – whatever “it” is. What is it for you? What do you really want to do, what’s the thing you would do if you could do anything? Then why don’t you do it?

Because it’s hard! There is resistance against the giving of your God given gifts. It seems like you can do almost anything else easier. It’s derailment by distraction. You will never develop your dream if you allow yourself to become “too busy” and occupied with other things. Things that take time without adding assets devalue your life and leave you feeling depreciated and unappreciated. And that’s exactly where the enemy wants you, restrained in the domain of the mundane pursuing vain gain.

So what can you do? If you want to win you will have to use your faith to fight. Believe in the gift within you and get the guts to give it. Discipline yourself develop it. Keep a schedule and have a regular regimen! If you don’t you will be controlled by compulsion and end up wasting your time and therefore your life.

Now this all sounds a lot easier than it actually is. But the key and only way to stay on course is to pray. Pray everyday and be bold to obey! When you pray you consciously connect with God and are edified so you can overcome. You get direction so you’re not derailed by distraction. You receive God’s grace which empowers you to run YOUR race at YOUR pace. So pray and use the FORCE from the Source stay on course.

The TRUE FORCE is FAITH plus GRACE in action.

I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

5 "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.
