Our attitude is one of the greatest assets we have. We
can use it to our own advantage or we can use it against ourselves. When we
accept that we’re complete in Him we don’t have to strive for success.
I heard of an older man who made his living selling
balloons at a fair. He had balloons of many different colors, including red, yellow,
blue, and green. Whenever business was slow, he would release a helium-filled
balloon into the air. When the children saw the balloon go up, they all wanted
one. They would come up to him, buy a balloon and his sales would go up. All
day, he continued to release a balloon whenever the sales slowed down. One day,
the balloon man felt some tugging at his jacket. He turned around and a little
boy asked, “If you release a black balloon, would that also fly?” Moved by the
boy’s concern, the man replied gently, “Son,
it is not the color of the balloon; it is what’s inside that makes it go up.”
The same principle applies to our lives. It’s not so much
what’s around us that matters but what’s on the inside that counts. Here’s what
I’ve learnt in life. We don’t need a lot of talent, education, connections or a
ton of money to succeed in life. We need the anointing of God. When God
breathes in your direction, it will take you further than someone who has
exceptional talents. In case you’re wondering, God has anointed you with favor like a shield (Psalm 5:12).
Once, Jesus was teaching to thousands of people. It was
getting late and people were hungry. Jesus turned to His disciples and said, “I want you to give them something to eat.”
They were in the middle of nowhere. There were no grocery stores or other
source of food. At first glance, it may seem like Jesus was asking them to
something impossible. But here’s the key. God will never ask you do something
without first giving you to ability to it. The size of your problem is an
indication of the size of your victory that awaits you. Your miracle right now
is within your reach. You can handle it. You have what it takes.
At the command of Jesus, the disciples began to make all
sorts of excuses. Finally they said, “Jesus,
all we have is five loaves of bread and two fish from a little boy but what is
that among so many?” Jesus said, “Bring
them to me.” He blessed it and the rest is history. What situation you’re
in? Bring it Jesus. He will bless it and make you overflow.
Like a helium balloon, what makes you go up is what’s
inside. Are you powered by Jesus inside
or are you striving on your own? William James of Harvard University said, “The greatest discovery of my generation is
that human beings can alter their lives by altering the attitudes of their
minds.” When we have the right mental and spiritual attitude, we can
achieve anything in life.
You have what it takes! You lack nothing. You’re not
stuck. You have options. God is breathing in your direction. Healing is yours.
The legal situation is there to propel you to the next level. One touch of God’s
favor is going to bring you the biggest client in your business. You’re not an orphan
left alone on earth to fight life through on your own. Jesus said, “The Holy Spirit is your Helper.”
Instead of looking at how bad your situation is why don’t you look at how big
your God is? He turned water into wine, parted the red sea, raised the dead and
fed thousands. Certainly, He can take care of you. Friend, you have what it
takes. God is working. Give Him some praise. The answer is on its way. I’m
praying for you!
“So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head
over every ruler and authority” (Colossians 2:10
NLT).
