With all the events that have taken place in December, including family illness and deaths, and as of yesterday the unexpected death of a high-school classmate, I am officially over 2010. I am expecting great things in 2011. I wish you all a safe New Year's Celebration, whether you find yourself at a Freedom's Eve Service or surrounded with family and friends waiting on the ball to drop in Times Square. Please read the following words from Iyanla Vanzant's devotional Acts of Faith for December 31.
December 31: Acts of Faith
"Your crown has been bought and paid for. All you must do is put it on your head." James Baldwin
There is nothing you need that you do not already have. There is nothing that you need to know that you do not already know. There is nothing that you want that does not already exist. There is nothing that exists that is too good for you. There is nothing that anyone has that you cannot have. There is nothing more powerful, more intelligent, more sacred than you. You are the stuff that life is made of. You are the essence of life. You have been chosen at this time, in this place to be among the living. You come from a long line of successful living beings. You are one of the king's kids. Born into the world to inherit the kingdom. You are equipped to handle anything. You live by grace, built by love. You are the cause and reason of everything you see. You are one with the Source. You are creative. You are alive. What else could possibly matter?
Today I claim my Divine inheritance.
Iyanla
Peace,
Karsten
