Your Spiritual Bank Account

Make deposits through good deeds then make withdrawals when you need it most.

BY REV. DONNA DAVIS, RN (YP i R)

Have you ever felt that sometimes you have desires in your heart and no clue how to make them happen? Some people seem to just get what they want, and it seems to happen out of nowhere! Those people seem to have a secret that others do not. To be in a place of trust in the Divine Spirit opens you up to see and experience the very thing that you want. When we are in this state of trust, then we know that our blessings do not come from some unknown place, it comes from our own deposit into the Divine ow itself. We have heard that the law of attraction gives you exactly what you place on your mind and heart and even the Bible says, “whatever you sow, you shall also reap."

From that premise, if you would like love, then be loving. If you want money, then give money to those who need it. This is the idea of the spiritual bank account. We place deposits into it with the thoughts and especially deeds that we do. Within our LGBTQ community, there are those who create the family they want by being loving to others. They get to reap the bene ts of a chosen community and family. They get to make withdrawals from that never-ending bank account that we all have as a birthright.

How can you make deposits into your account? How can you help others? Think especially of those that are freshly wounded by the families or communities that turn their backs on them because they have decided to step from the closet and live life as LGBTQ. How can you be loving to them? How can you be more loving to those who do not understand you and may even hate you?

We are always placing deposits into our spiritual bank account. What would you like to be your withdrawal? Think about the end results and operate from that place knowing that as you do for others, you are essentially doing for yourself!
