A Perfect System of Opportunity
written by Monica Wood
From the beginning of time man has made excuses for missing the mark, Adam blamed Eve and Eve blamed the serpent. In education, high school teachers blame Jr. High, Jr. High blame Elementary, Elementary teachers blame the lack of parental support for students being left behind. Even in our government, the current administration blames the prior administration. Unfortunately, we’ve been mentally conditioned to play the blame game and to make excuses.
In a perfect world, instead of looking for a person to blame or an excuse to offer, there would be a system in place where we would find an opportunity to become greater. It would be perfect! For every occupational challenge, broken dream, empty feeling, devastating issue, there was a method to move forward in opportunity.
Surprisingly enough, that system exists, and it’s reachable, a perfect system of opportunity. See, the One who created this world structured it in a way that perfection is gradually growing, developing, maturing into completion. No matter how many different challenges, tests or obstacles, we have a way to escape from the norm of making excuses. Often the expectation we ascribe to ourselves is perfection as an All Knowing, Forever Strong, and Never Failing Deity. But when we begin to see through the eyes of the One who created us, we can begin to take on another mind set.
Now we have a mind set to reject every excuse as we are developing, and take on the mind set of opportunity. For every rejection there is an opening to grow in character. With each challenge another chance to get stronger. In all test, we now have the perfect opportunity to break into undiscovered potential to succeed.
The system we are in is unfailing, it will never miss the mark, and it is complete and perfect in itself, because it was created by the One who is complete and perfect in Himself. It’s time to work the system.
Work the system by knowing that your belief and effort works hand in hand and that all things are possible to those who believe. Begin to awaken and stir up the gift of curiosity and prepare skillfully to see the greatness that is perfectly developing from you. Work the system by counting each potential excuse as a chance to celebrate. Celebrate with no excuses, know that with every one of our lifemisses, it is a developing but favorable chance to tap into the skills and abilities we have been given to be successful. That is what is known as a perfect system of opportunity.

On Easter, American Christians celebrate the resurrection of the Lord, Jesus Christ. It is typically the well-attended Sunday service of the year for Christian churches. Christians believe, according to Scripture, that Jesus came back to life, and rose from the dead, three days after his death on the cross. As part of the Easter season, the death of Jesus Christ by crucifixion is commemorated on Good Friday, always the Friday just before Easter. Through his death, burial, and resurrection, Jesus paid the penalty for sin, thus purchasing for all who believe in him, eternal life in Christ Jesus. Easter should not be commemorated by the Easter bunny or the Easter eggs or the pretty clothes, but the beautiful gesture of Jesus Christ dying for our sins. It wasn't easy but it was worth it!!!!
