With Easter right around the corner, everyone begins to focus upon resurrection. The main reason people choose to embark upon a spiritual journey is the hope of living forever with the spirit and soul being resurrected after death.
However, there are certain steps that one must take in order to be able to rise up again from past hurts, failures, and mistakes.
1. Do not condemn yourself. Do not be so harsh upon yourself whenever you make a mistake. Learn from your mistakes so that you will not make them again. Do not limit yourself because of your weaknesses. Look to become stronger day-by-day.
2. Realize that you are free from the past. The past is done. Do not allow for your past to affect your present and your future decisions. Analysis of past decisions will paralyze you from moving forward. You cannot move backward and forward at the same time.
3. Become spiritually minded. You become spiritually minded by selecting to no longer focus upon what you want. Materialism must be eliminated from your mind. You are not always obligated to do whatever you want to do. Learn how to say no to yourself.
4. Fast. Fasting is the easiest way to curb those indulges you have so that you will not become trapped by them. Fasting is the quickest way of telling your body no. That’s why it’s called a fast. You begin to move faster spiritually when you make an effort to instill self-discipline.
5. Do not be deceived by others. Do not allow for the words of others to distract you. Stay your course.
6. Forgive. Forgiveness is the only cure for past hurts because forgiveness does not allow for bitterness to take root within your heart. Notice that forgive is two words: for and give. You always have to position yourself towards being a giver. Being a giver opens the door for resurrection to occur within your life. You have to make demands upon being replenished before you are renewed.
Take about five minutes each day to look at each of these steps for the next three days and you will begin to experience resurrection within your heart and your soul.
