I have just begun reading Your Best Life Now by Joel Osteen. It's about living to your full potential and how to go about it. I read the first chapter on the train ride in to work this morning. It talks about changing your attitude and enlarging your vision. This is what caught my attention this morning:
Ephesians 2:7 says that God wants to pour out "His far and beyond favor." God wants this to be the best time of your life. But if you are going to receive this favor, you must enlarge your vision. You can't go around thinking negative, defeated, limiting thoughts.
Joel Osteen puts it this way: "To experience the immeasurable favor, you must rid yourself of that small-minded thinking and start expecting God's blessings, start anticipating promotion and supernatural increase. You must conceive it in your heart and mind before you can receive it. In other words, you must make room for increase in your own thinking, then God will bring those things to pass. Until you learn how to enlarge your vision, seeing the future through your eyes of faith, your own wrong thinking will prevent good things from happening in your life. God will not pour fresh, creative ideas and blessings into old attitudes."
Ouch!
