Last night as I did my new technique which is to read my daily
devotionals I came across something that I had to share with you.

First off as you’ll come to realize by reading my blog is that I really
believe that knowledge should not be kept but shared. If you know
something how can you not share it if it’s beneficial to someone else…

Exactly! You must share it!

Too often in life we go ahead and walk around like we have a magic
lamp with a genie about to come out where we make a bunch of wisheson what we want…

(Aladdin was cartoon ya know!)

There’s nothing wrong with making wishes…
There’s nothing wrong with having dreams…

But I have bad news for you…

You won’t make it there if you are not trying to get
these things for the ‘RIGHT’ reasons. If you’re looking
to get stuff just for your own pleasure and that alone
chances are you’ll never get what you want.

Actually let me take a step back. You might get it but it won’t
give you the feeling that you were actually seeking.

In my last post I talked about how I wanted a BMW M5. Why did
I want one?

Because it would make me feel powerful to have a car with over 500 Horsepower, even though I’m the safest driver and won’t even use 50% of the car’s power.

Also it’s a bmw, so I’d look cool instantly. But as I kept thinking about having this car, I couldn’t wrap my head around a decent plan to get it.

Then I later figured out why when I started to read my devotionals. All the reasons I wanted that car was selfish. My thought process needed to change.

I needed to figure out how getting a car like that would serve others! When we serve, the “universe” will serve us back and give us the thingswe want and need.

Now I use the word ‘universe’ lightly here cause I’m not about the whole ‘new age’ stuff.

I truly believe that God blesses his children who take care of his other children.

So how can I turn this want of a BMW M5 into an act of service? Well the
bottom line is I’ve always wanted to influence children and tell them the
way to live life the right way. But guess who the kids out there listen to?

The people with cool cars, nice watches, big houses…

Now a car is a car, but more important to me is to serve these young children
that’s coming up not knowing what life is truly about.

Once I started thinking about the kids and how the car is a means to me grabbing their attention, all the sudden the idea of getting the car was not only no longer something I struggled
to think about.

Also the plan to get it rapidly drew itself out… I had a vision and made it plain and God filled in the rest… Now it’s not a matter of I’d get the car but a matter of when. And God said it himself, be patient, cause I will give you what you want and need not a day later than when you should get it.

How comforting is that!

So if you want to get something please figure out a way to provide acts of service. It’s by serving we are able to receive.

God bless ya!
