Our Own Pot of Gold

The other day I was in a card store picking up birthday cards and I noticed a section of green - St. Patrick's Day cards.  A vision of rainbows, leprechauns and pots of gold came into my mind.  It came to me that we don't  need  leprechauns for pots of gold, we have our own - the Christ within.

In Luke 17:21 it states "...the kingdom of God is within you" and 2 Corinthians 6:16 "...For we are the temple of the living God."  Theses two verses state that the Spirit of God lives in us.  Many are unaware of this truth. Their lives are filled with lack and limitation, fear and hate, envy and jealousy.  In reality God lives in us," which is Christ in you, the hope of glory."  (Colossians 1:27)

What does this mean to us? Eric Butterworth puts it beautifully in Discover the Power Within "Christ in you is your hope of glory, for it is that of you that is God and is God being projected into visibility as you.  Christ in you is your own spiritual unity with the Infinite, the key to your health and success."  God is life, love, power, strength, abundance, so His presence in us (as the Christ) is the source of these qualities or ideas that will manifest in our mind, body, and affairs.

God's unlimited abundance of health, happiness, joy, finances, peace and love lives within all of us.  In prayer and meditation we consciously connect to God.  As we listen to God, the "still small voice", we unlock the door and allow the qualities of God to flow through our being.  We incorporate God's qualities of life, love, power, intelligence into our lives.  God's unlimited abundance flows through us each day.

Which would you rather have: a leprechaun's single pot of gold or God's unlimited supply?
I chose God!!
