Bling-Bling Value


A quote from http://www.lifeabundanceinfo.com/ led me to write this post. The quote is: " 'If you really do put a small value upon yourself, rest assured that the world will not raise your price.' " - Anonymous

True value is not about how we adorn or embellish ourselves with gems and glittering gold nor silken threads all suited up for the greatest of compliments. As a matter of truth, the best threads and the most brilliant shine comes as a result of the purification bath that we must take often - that of ridding negative, greedy, rigid and putrid thoughts and ill feelings from past experiences and situations from our minds, from our thoughts and from our feelings; which result in showing up in our behavior. Holding onto these kinds of thoughts and feelings promote the moral corruption and acts of disdainment toward one another that we see today and we say that they require healing.

As we keep forgiving--giving these thoughts and emotions up which is a daily eliminating process; our behvior and our outlook changes. Letting them go not just when we are challenged in any given moment but regularly. There is deep cleansing which has to be done on a regular basis and doing so helps us to allow our true essence come forth and thusly, the old is replaced with the true attributes of our divine nature.

Although it may not be easily done, it is not only possible but it is a God-given ability for us to let them go. Letting go gets easier with practice and if we are really living life then we know that life does not fall short of learning lessons.

Thank God for forgiveness-our eliminating capacity; it is our "refresh button". This is the only way to learn of our true value. When we release then we will shine brightly, illuminating all that God is within us--our true value which is worth more than any material thing in existence or in visibility. The "Bling Bling" is really our inner essence, you know the Christ-self-the real and authentic self laced with God's attributes.

" 'Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
and strength and honor and glory and blessing!' " - Rev 5:12
