10 Minutes For The Next 10 Years Of Your Life | Matthew McConaughey Motivation

There was a time when if a politician cried in public it was political death. Now, it’s almost a requirement. It connotes authenticity.

Oh boy! Another huge challenge. How on earth can we forgive Ariel Castro, the seemingly depraved, animalistic torturer, jailer, rapist and alleged murderer who kept three women and a child captive in his house for 10 years?

Yantra in Sanskrit denotes a chant that will help you awaken energy by placing it anywhere in your nearby environment. Yantras tend to purify the environment and fill the atmosphere with positive energy. Yantras help our prayers reach the respective deities faster.

I grew up in the Alliance Church of the Valley, in St. Croix Falls WI. A beautiful church, beautiful surrounding, and filled with beautiful people. Some of the friendships my family formed during this time, we still hold dear today. Now before I get off track, The Christian and Missionary Alliance, as the title indicates, is focused on missions and fulfilling the Great Commission. This was and is a great and noble cause, straight from the bible, and I was, and still am, all for reaching the lost and making disciples. However, you can send someone else!

When we are broken, need rest and healing God desires for us to come to him. To lay our cares, concerns, fears, guilt and shame at His feet to receive forgiveness, love and healing. We are all broken, yet fully loved just as we are. After all you are God’s beloved child; as God’s child, his love for you is pure unconditional love. God is love.

The ‘technically developed’ and ‘updated’ youth of the 21st century doesn’t like to believe in atheistic words like ‘soul’ and ‘Moral Values’. A common excuse is that we believe in science and not in these ‘outdated’ words. But if they really believe in science, they would surely believe this one.

Contrast these two stories, one of an octogenarian with Stage 3 cancer and the other of a relatively young man who was leading a normal carnal-Christian lifestyle. The 80-something gentleman was a builder and he built extensions on churches for free. He had a fiery temperament, but a work ethic second-to-none…

Pain… Physical pain, mental/emotional pain, existential pain… There’s a lot of pain going around these days. When we get overwhelmed by pain, we get desperate. When we get desperate, life sucks. But we don’t have to be overwhelmed by pain and it doesn’t have to drive us to suffering. It’s possible to achieve freedom from pain. When I say freedom from pain, I don’t necessarily mean that the pain goes away, though it can mean that, as well, and often does. When I say freedom from pain, I mean freedom in the sense that the pain ceases to be a problem; the suffering part of pain goes away. When the suffering part of pain is not present, it means that our happiness and our relief from the pain is not contingent on the pain going away.

Everything we say and do has eternal value. It is up to us to be sure the value is valuable eternally. Our lives are filled with stuff and doing stuff and going to stuff. Will any of it make any difference? Our lives are a puff of smoke in terms of eternity. What we do with our lives, however has eternal impact.

Miracles are all around us. Prayer is powerful, couple prayer to obedience and all things are possible through Christ who lives in me. I have witnessed and experienced many miracles. The Glory is God’s alone.

So many of us at this time seem to be going through a metamorphosis, change is all around us. Even if it starts subtly the vibrations seems to grow and spread.
