In The World But Not Of It

The world is a place of much activity. There are a bunch of things going on. And people have to stay in motion to make the world go around. We all need money, food, and shelter to survive.

Some are unfortunate, they don’t have places to live, food to eat, or money to spend. So many of us take so much for granted and some of us don’t care that we take things for granted.

There are things on this earth that make us happy. There are things that make us sad.

Some people are always optimistic, some people may give up hope. Some take things too much to heart then waste time worrying because they have no faith.

I personally don’t place much value on the things of this world because this is not my permanent home and i know i don’t belong here. I don’t need other people’s approval to make me feel good. I make myself feel good because i love myself and i know all that i’m worth.

When people in the world want to make me feel bad they’re unable to, my mind and my spirit is too strong for that. I can’t be touched as i’m shielded by Divine Spirit’s grace and knowledge, a feeling only his children know.

When my enemies tried to take away my money and hindered my career (spiritually) then spread lies about me it didn’t destroy me because those things don’t define me.

If i was a big zero they wouldn’t have tried to stop me.

All their actions showed me is that those particular conditions mattered to them. People usually try to hurt you with things that would bother and affect them. But i’m nothing like them.

Nobody can really take away my success. I have my mind, my health, a place to live, and my “Divine Spirit” on my side. Who can beat that?!

My enemies have actually promoted me. But they’d never understand that, they’re not able to reach that level. They made me realize even more how lucky i am in life. I’d hate to be in their shoes. I knew their outcome while they thought they were finalizing mine.
