Separation brings forth weakness whereas unity strengthens. The old man’s intent is to keep you separated from the Love of Our Heavenly Father and to walk in that Love. The old saying “United we stand, divided we fall” is so true. When your attention is divided, you become weaker and less productive. As you focus on one thing, you are empowered to bring it to maturity and clarity.
We all have challenges before us. Those challenges in front of us are the ones we should face and overcome. We don’t need to look for any challenges elsewhere. Until we deal with those issues before us, set aside your need to create new ones. It is your ego that wants to add to your To Do list. If it can keep you busy, then you will not have time to pursue wholeness.
Wholeness is a result of walking in Love. As you Love, you break down the barriers of separation. When life becomes more about meeting the needs of others rather than taking what you need from them, you will finally begin your walk toward maturity. Some people never get it. They live out there life as a “taker” rather than a giver.
Hoarding creates clutter and clutter will ultimately cause you to divide your time. People hoard because they believe more in the Law of Scarcity than they do the Law of Abundance. As you pursue wholeness, you will find that all that you need according to your covenant with Our Heavenly Father is available to you upon request.
What about my current projects at hand? Focus on them and get them done so you can free up the time to Love. If you are constantly creating new projects then you are effectively deferring the pursuit of the revelation of Love. Once again, simplify.
Jesus brought this into focus in the Parable of the Rich Fool:
Luke 12:13 Then one from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
14 But He said to him, “Man, who made Me a judge or an arbitrator over you?” 15 And He said to them, “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.”
16 Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully. 17 And he thought within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?’ 18 So he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.” ’ 20 But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’
21 “So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
Where is your focus? Are you focusing on “things” or focusing on Love? Which will bring wholeness to your life? Where are your treasures laid up?
