(Where did I drop off Jesus?)
Let sunshine pour into your soul. Do not deny the soul this great blessing.
We sometimes get so moody that we do not let sunshine inside and prevail in our soul.
When we get moody, come to think of it, that is the last thing that we think of.
I want you to refresh your soul daily in My Presence.
Do not turn your back on your soul just in case you don’t feel 100%.
That is when you should really be piling the sunshine on your soul.
But moods leave us in dark places that need sunshine, but don’t seek sunshine.
What does a mood solve?
Usually when we speak of moods or someone is moody, we do not mean it as a compliment but rather describing a negative part of their personality.
So, let’s look at being moody.
Why should you choose to live in a mood when you can live in sunshine?
It is a choice you know.
You can either feel good and think good thoughts, or you can choose to feel negative about all or at least a lot of things.
It is what we ‘feed’ ourselves.
Like, is the sunshine today a great gift from Me, and you thank and praise Me for it?
OR Do you lament that we haven’t had a lot of sunshine and perhaps it will not last for many days.
So, with the latter statement, what did you feed your soul?
Not sunshine for sure, but rather a thankless outlook on the next few days.
How do we get caught in this spiral of thought?
Do you really like getting caught in this spiral of thought?
How can your body survive in this downward spiral of thought and outlook on life?
Do you realize the harm you do to yourself with these negative thoughts?
I designed you to live in good health.
Certainly, certain diseases can take over, but putting those aside, over which you may have no control, why do you want each day to live in miserable thought and from these thoughts, negative actions and words.
You have chosen this you know.
Instead of greeting each morning with a Halleluiah greeting --- thank you for this new holy day Lord, we start with “oh, I got to get the garbage out”, or “what if that bill comes due?”
Look at how you begin your day in either positive or negative thought.
Why, I ask you, why do you not begin each new holy day with sunshine thoughts?
Do you like feeling miserable? You must!
Ahhhh. Do you know God? There is your answer in a question.
If you believe in God and all His Promises, then you can’t be miserable.
No you can’t!!
So, if a miserable or discontented thought arises during your check-in with Me, ask Me where I dropped You off and who I picked up that was trying to hitchhike.
Really, see it this way.
Where did I drop off Jesus and whom did I pick up instead of Jesus?
Do not let go of Me. Keep Me closer than close.
Do not kick Me out of your car so you can pick up something, someone else who will not direct you in a positive, nurturing way.
Remember, ask yourself --- when, where and why did I drop Jesus off and pick up someone else that will not guide me to Eternity?
What are your signposts?
Where do you really want to go?
If it is not Eternity with Me then where?
I tell you “Drop off” all thoughts, words and actions that will not bring you to Eternity with Me!
