Being the Blessing by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: May 16, 2011 at 6:32 am By Robert Ricciardelli

We have spent way too much time asking God for a blessing instead of asking how we may be a blessing for Him and for others through our lives. On top of that, we ask God to bless the work that we are doing, and He often will not because it is not the work He is doing. Begin to rephrase your questions and renew your focus. Blessings come when we focus on the work God is doing, and in... Read more

Last updated on: May 15, 2011 at 8:18 pm By Robert Ricciardelli

A tribe is a people who find identify in a family, culture, or concept. Your biggest fans are found in relational tribes of mutual love, safety, and honor.

God Speaks in the Moment by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: May 15, 2011 at 6:30 am By Robert Ricciardelli

There are times that we are led away by God to hear His voice, be strengthened, and become refreshed for our journey. Those times are amazing as well as exceptional in our Spirit led existence. I have found that as I intentionally connect with God throughout my day, He speaks in marvelous clarity for each moment. In our synchronized life with God, we can remain empowered for every good work in the busiest of days. Read more

Freely Receive, Freely Give by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: May 10, 2011 at 6:23 am By Robert Ricciardelli

Love is free and yet can never be forced. A God who loves with no conditions, risks that the love offered may never be received. This is the clarion call of the type of love we must freely receive, and also freely offer. There is great risk that the love that we give may also not be received. Do we then not give it? We must never withhold our love, God’s love, from flowing from our very being to others. Read more

Last updated on: May 8, 2011 at 6:44 am By editorconvergingzone

For What It’s Worth . . . My Thoughts on the Killing of Osama bin Laden Seldom in a lifetime do we witness events that will remain fresh in our memories forever. Most events, even most breath-taking events are pushed away as other concerns, obligations, priorities press for our full attention. Yet there are those events that none experiencing them ever forget: For a generation slipping away from us, there are the painful recollections of the Great Depression of the... Read more

You Are Unstoppable by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: May 8, 2011 at 4:54 am By Robert Ricciardelli

Omnipotent God gives you the keys to an unshakable destiny. Nothing can stop His providential plans, and nothing can stop the seed of potential He has put within you. God is unstoppable and therefore God in you and God through you is unstoppable. When you know who you really are and do not cower at the obstacles you face, all obstacles must bow to Majesty, as you walk boldly through them in the strength of your God. Read more

Discernment For Distractions by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: May 7, 2011 at 3:19 am By Robert Ricciardelli

You cannot get rid of distractions, you can only steward them. You cannot leave planet earth which is a world of distractions, and sustained isolation is not good. The key is knowing what distractions you are meant to engage with or totally ignore. Distractions can bring pause to productivity, and yet discernment is needed on the occasion that God allows for it saying, “Pay attention child, I have a new assignment.” Read more

Keep the Conversations Going by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: May 5, 2011 at 6:56 am By Robert Ricciardelli

When we can keep the conversation going, the opportunity for discovery remains. Dogma and idiosyncratic walls can hinder the discovery of God, self, and each other. We sometimes divide ourselves over insignificant and presupposed truth or preferences, while God eternally desires oneness with Him and each other. Our collective conversations inspired by God, bring fullness to the Mysteries and the Majesty of our God. Read more

Living in Constant Amazement by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: May 4, 2011 at 6:37 am By Robert Ricciardelli

The goal of one who is spiritual is to live in a constant state of amazement. It is to hop out of bed and with a bounce in our step declare,”Thank you God for another day to live, to serve, and have my being.” As we live and move in God we look at the possibilities to bring His light and love to all that we engage with. We do not take life for granted, see everything as spiritual, and... Read more

Talking to Love Within You by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: May 3, 2011 at 6:36 am By Robert Ricciardelli

We can convert our thoughts from a monologue to self of our fears, our past, and our painful present, to a dialogue with God. We will not remain a victim of thoughts when we discuss them with God, and allow Him to lovingly remind us of His freedom from our past, His peace for today, and His hope filled future with us. Our minds become renewed and the transformational process engaged as we talk to Love within us. Read more
