Possibility Junction

For those who were at service on Sunday, March 10th, 2013, a few bullet points to jog your memory. To read the complete text of "Possibility Junction"  click here

 Every moment is an opportunity to choose. Richard and Mary-Alice Jafolla, in their book THE QUEST, describe this as "Possibility Junction," the moment in which we decide what we want to express (invest) in our life. Do we want to invest and experience more good by aligning ourselves with the creative power of God's Love, or continue to do the same old things that bind our happiness?

In John 3:3 Jesus tells us that, "...no one can see the Kingdom of God without being born from above."  In the context of the idea in the previous paragraph we might say that no one can see the Kingdom of God without aligning themselves with the creative power of God's Love.

Philosophically that is a great idea, but as one one of the foundational principles principles upon which Unity is built tells us, "Knowing principles isn't enough, we must live them." OK, so what can you do to help yourself be in alignment with the creative power of God's Love when you find yourself at "Possibility Junction?"  Here is a suggestion:
  1. Remind yourself that you are worthwhile because God created you and that you are a part of God, not apart from God no matter how you feel in that moment.
  2. Choose to feel oneness with God.  If you cannot remember that feeling, ask God to help you to remember how that feels.
  3. Ask God, "What would you have me do in this situation?"  Be careful not to develop a couple of decisions and then ask God what would you have me do... this or that?  That's not deciding with God, that's asking God to decide with you.
  4. Stay alert. Stop, look, listen, and feel.  Your answer can come from anywhere, at any time, in any way.  You may see, hear, or feel something that gives you one of those, "Light-bulb Moments," at which you say, "Thank you, God. That's it!"
