SEVEN DAYS By: Joseph J. Mazzella
I saw another one of those seven day advertisements
today. They are the ones that claim that you can change your
life in just seven days. There are ones for losing so much
weight in seven days. There are ones for getting in shape in
seven days. There are ones for starting to make a great deal
of money in seven days. There are even ones for finding that
perfect relationship in seven days. It is amazing just how
many people there are out there who think that they can make
our lives wonderful in a week.
I have, however, found one way that you can change your
life in just seven days. It doesn’t require that you buy an
exercise machine, take a pill, invest your savings, or give
out your credit card number either. All you need is
yourself, and all you have to invest is your heart, soul,
and mind. Just by doing four simple steps for seven days you
can begin to turn your life into the joyous experience you
always hoped it could be.
The first step is simply to realize and know just how
much God loves you. Once you see that God loves you and
wants you to be happy then everything in your life will
become better. You will begin to feel, in fact, just how
glorious life can be. The next step is just to love God
back. That is all God ever asks of us. By loving God back
you will take the first step towards living the way you were
meant to. Step three is to love yourself. If God loves you
then you should be able to love yourself as well. You are a
Child of God, after all, and worthy of love. The last step
is to go out and love others too. Love is a gift that you
can’t just keep to yourself. It has to be shared.
If you do these four steps for seven days then you will
never want to stop. Your soul will come alive. Love and joy
will flow through you and show up in every single thing you
do. You will not only change your life but also become a
blessing to God and to the world.
