                    This morning as I went through my Emails I opened an online movie and knew the message it contained must be shared!   Although I cried through most of the movie, it left me with a great reminder of the power we each posses to change and influence another life and ultimately transform our world!
 
                    The actual story entitled, "Three Letters From Teddy"  was written by Elisabeth Silance Ballard and was published in Home Life magazine in 1974. It was not represented as a true story but rather fiction.  The story was republished in the magazine again in 1976 because it was the most requested story in the history of the magazine!
 
                    Because of the impact it has made on so many, an online movie was made of the story.   Watch it and let me know how it inspires you.
 
                    Following is the inspiration I received from the movie.         http://www.makeadifferencemovie.com
 
ONE MAKES A  DIFFERENCE
 
                    "Three Letters From Teddy" reminded me in a dynamic way how my life, and how I view things, can effect the lives I touch daily on a grand scale!   The moment I change the way I look at someone, a changes begin within them which raises the energy of all of humanity.  The I AM within me, as one incarnate life, can influence my world for good!  How empowering and exciting it is to understand that every moment, the way I connect to others counts in a universal way!  This movie is not just about one teacher and one young boy.......it is far more encompassing than that.  This movie is a type and shadow for us to see the influence we have on every person and every situation which comes our way.  We ARE THE CHANGE we are looking for!
 
                    The Bible, cover to cover, shows the influence ONE can have on the whole!  Jesus Christ was the greatest of these examples.  His life forever changed the consciousness of all mankind. He entered this realm of time and space and revealed to us, the power within  to ascend all we see with our eyes and enter the realm of eternity here and now.  He encouraged us that we too, can bring the reality of heaven into earth.  The words and actions of this ONE man has forever effected all humanity.  He brought in a new beginning for all creation. 
 
                    Many others down through the ages also revealed this concept. A man named Noah was a picture of how one man was able to transport his entire family from death to life by building an ark from the inspiration of God. He followed the voice of God though it looked  ridiculous if viewed through the physical. He continued even as his neighbors and friends ridiculed and condemned his efforts as foolish. Yet Noah kept his eyes on the invisible realm of infinite possibility as his truth! He dared to change the way he looked at reality (there had never been rain before on the earth) and lived from the inspiration of the Spirit of God. His efforts also brought about a new beginning for all mankind!
 
                    Abraham was another wonderful example. He left all that was familiar to him, family, home, friends, and career to follow the unknown into a new land and life. His life was no longer directed by the seen, but the unseen realm of infinite possibility. By changing the way he looked at things, he ultimately effected the lives of all humanity!
 
                    Moses, another wonderful example, left a life of great favor and wealth to follow the voice of God on a journey which would in time, bring a whole nation from slavery into freedom.
 
                    Each man God used in the Bible demonstrated to us the effect ONE can have on the whole! One for All is a great Biblical principle. Adam lead all mankind into a deep sleep, alienating all from the mind of God and Jesus Christ brought mankind  full circle, awakening us out of that sleep and back into the reality of our eternal oneness with God! 
 
                    Today, we must remember the words of Jesus Christ as they echo down through the ages to us, "as I Am on the earth so are you."  The works I do you will you do also, and greater works will you do! How profound for us  in the 21st Century, to know we are here to be the Cause of world change. We no longer have to live from the effects we see with our physical eyes, and brought in by a mind separated from its true source.  When we change our vantage point and see from the infinite realm of all possibilities, we become the CAUSE! We no longer are the victims, but the VICTORS! We are The change we have been looking for! 
 
                    All we have to do is to begin changing the way we look at each man, woman, and child. Seeing within them the light of the Spirit of God, and as we see that light, it will ignite and grow into a flame which will illuminate the whole world! Our acknowledgment of that light, enhances and brings it into full manifestation! 
 
                    Teddy always had the light within himself, but life situations had dimmed that light. As Miss Thompson changed the way she viewed Teddy, Teddy began to change! His life was forever transformed just by Miss Thompson viewing him from a different perspective.
 
                    Can you see it...can you see the great message for ALL of us?  As we change the way we view humanity, they will begin to change and grow into a beautiful picture of the Christed life!  We hold the power within our Spirit to change our world!
 
                    Remember the verse which tell us to know no man after the flesh, and then encourages us to know all men after the Spirit! This is the Key of all transformation.  It lies within your ability to see beyond what the natural is trying to persuade you to believe, and to see all from the invisible realm of Spirit. The infinite, unchangeable realm of the truth of all mankind's identity! 
 
                    Remember Teddy the next time you begin to judge someone after "how they seem to be" and shift your view....as you do all of creation is shifting with you!
 
                    Live with the exciting realization of the power which resides within you!
 
                    Much Love and Joy To Each of You World Changers!
