Fluid Impressions: Watercolor Paintings of Human Thought Stock ...

Most of us have heard the quote, 
“as a man thinketh so is he.”
Thoughts therefore are a part of creation.

We were created to have purpose in life.
Our thoughts effect what we become here on Earth.
As created, we are our authentic selves by the thoughts of the Creator.

To successfully meet the ultimate challenge in life,
we must align our thoughts with the thoughts of the Creator,
or just acknowledge the spirit within us and accept ourselves as created.

Ultimately, we are our worst enemy.
Many of us think we know better than our Creator,
what we are, what we want, and how we should live our lives.

I was given freewill by my Creator,
without his guidance, I don’t want it.
I give it back and acknowledge him in all things.

I’ll follow the voice of the Spirit within me,
align my will with the will of God my Creator,
and be who God intends for me to be.
