The Seeds We Plant Series # 49: Character Before Purpose and After That

Hi there!

Looking at today’s world events, we can’t help but wonder what is causing so much turmoil, especially among those who appear to have it all. Is it too much money? Is money evil, then? Is it being famous? Should we avoid any career that increases our chances of being known by many people?

Or, are the events we experience, read, and see the result of seeds that have sprouted and blossomed within us? Is it a broken moral foundation that increases our susceptibility to unhealthy actions? Is it unhealed wounds that continue to bleed and infect others?

Should I not want to be prosperous, the promise from our Creator (Jeremiah 29:11)?

The temptation to dominate humans, misuse, and use has no regard for color, race, religion, or other worldly dividers. The desire to do what’s opposite of our spiritual makeup is not to “get us” or make us feel less than we are. Instead, temptation is:

1. A call and an opportunity for self-assessment and healing from the inside out. We must dig within our hearts and minds to identify and remove the anger, anxiety, confusion, doubt, guilt, resentment, shame, vengeance, and other like-minded weeds.
2. A means to purify us or the work they are here to do. Temptation is a tool for enjoying the fruits of our labor. 
3. A means to help others overcome similar temptations.
4. Ultimately, it is a means to unite with the divine within us.

Moral character building is reestablishing who we are (our spiritual blueprint) and part of our divine work here on Earth. A moral foundation is necessary to enjoy the fruits of our labor and align ourselves with the truth inside us. We distract ourselves from the solution when we blame money and other inanimate things for a person’s actions.

Let the morally wrong things you experience, hear, and see in the world be an opportunity to get to the root causes of such behaviors. 

1. Talk to your children about morality and virtues.
2. Discuss age and intellectually-appropriate experiences and ask for their input or what they would do.
3. Assess yourself as your children’s primary teacher, and ask what moral examples you are setting.
4. Address inappropriate behavior efficiently and effectively.

How are you influencing the next generation to put character before divine work? 

How are you reinforcing kindness, patience, respect, and other like-minded innate virtues? 

Are you daily resewing and nurturing virtuous behaviors in the next #animators, #composers, #musicians, #singers, #dancers, $teachers, #coaches, #writers, #speakers, and other #divine #creators?

Yes, we want our children to be successful, but at what price? Character is not the last or unavoidable when lives are at stake. 

We change the present and future by what we do today.

The Seeds We Plant Series #61: Addressing Weeds in Your Inner Garden Introduction – Create A Generational Love Cycle With Timika S Chambers

Inside of us is our spiritual garden. The heart is the soil. The nervous system is the vine that feeds the rest of our bodies, including our brain. What we grow inside of us, we become and experience. Weeds (consistent negative emotions and feelings) seek fertile soil, no matter what. There is no fear in this concept, for the power to rid ourselves of negative emotions and feelings resides in us. Through daily assessment and replanting of our spiritual seeds, we can yield the harvest that gives us the abundant life we are here to have.
