"Prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it."
~ Malachi 3:10
The Bible is corroborating the belief that our resistance is what keeps us from receiving. God does not withhold anything. If our bowl of acceptance is turned upside down, then God has no where to pour the blessing. Even the Divine Substance, opulent as it is, awaits our acceptance.
So it is our work to take a look at what thoughts we have that may be turning our bowl upside down. If we are negative, carrying a grudge, holding resentments, or complaining, we are not creating the space for us to receive.
So the solution is to practice forgiveness of self and others. Let go of those grudges - they don't serve anyone. Be aware of our complaining, and replace those thoughts with thoughts of appreciation and love. In time, you will see the fruits of your labor. It is worth the work. We are powerful creators. As Abraham says, "we can be, do or have whatever we desire."
Affirmation O' the Day: "I open my bowl of acceptance to receive God's good graces."
