Motivational

Dr. Schuller writes, "When you are really connected to God, you have His Spirit flowing into you." Logically flowing from that is the idea that God has plans He wants accomplished through His people. Faith is an essential element of God's working with human beings. Dr. Schuller makes an insightful observation on faith, without using the word itself. He says, "God gave us dreams and dreams are always impossible, if they come from God." Wow! That means miracles are necessary. It further means that unless God intervenes the dream will not come to fruitition. This is a way of testing the dream to see if it is truly from God.Overcoming obstacles is a part of the process of any worthwhile venture. There's good news in that regard. He reminds us, "Every problem has a life span." In other words, it will come to an end. It will not continue indefinitely. Consider the benefit of being engaged in overcoming the problem. "Every frustration has the potential to make you into something," is the nugget of truth he shares on that issue.The book constantly talks about listening to God and being directed by Him. He talks about God working in the midst of difficulties, and how those hard times are purposeful in the lives of Christians. Consider his statement that, "Power, success, and achievement will come to you anywhere you are if your attitude is right."Since I love California, I like what he put in the book about its radiance, "...in no other place in the world do the stars shine brighter than over the deserts of California."In reassuring us of God's guidance in our lives, he emphasizes proper perspective. He writes, "Focus your thoughts on God; don't focus them on your problem."This book is part of the faith-building section of my library. Re-reading it and reviewing the underlined parts and the notes I've written in the margins inspires me every time I do so.
