We are all uncommon beings. God created us as unique and special individuals. Even identical twins have different fingerprints.
In the same vein our DNA strands are complex and beautifully created. The precision God used in making us shows how much He cares.
We sell ourselves short. We settle for a life that is less than what God equipped us for. Be bold. Pursue your calling…
All of us have thousands of acquaintances. There are plenty of people around who want something from you, or just want to be in your sphere.
Bring people into your life who will be there when the shit hits the fan. The going gets tough? They don’t run away. They stay.
The friends who will tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear are a real treasure…
Heaven is real. Just because we can’t see it doesn’t make it less real. I can’t see gravity or prove how it works, but I know if I jump off a 50-story building I’m going to fall to the earth and probably die!
There is more out there than what we can see. There has to be. It’s not over and done when our bodies give out. There is an eternal place we will exist in after our human existence.
Jesus spoke of Heaven. Paul was allowed to visit it when he was still alive. There are innumerable stories of people who have died and come back to life. Many of them saw Heaven and their fear of death was removed.
Heaven is real. Believe it…
Where do you go to find true, objective news? Our media outlets have become pulpits for the political leanings of the on-air talent. Op-Ed’s aren’t an improvement over television. There are left and right biases in those.
You can start with the truth in the Bible. God’s word is as true today as it was 1000 years ago. It doesn’t shift one way or another. His words are steadfast.
If something big happens in the world, you are pretty much on your own when deciding how to navigate through the crisis. God gave us a brain to think with. We don’t need the national media.
And if God has a bias, He is biased towards widows and orphans, the disenfranchised, the needy. That’s where our bias should lie, too…
Everyone has challenges in their lives. Our broken world sees to that. People have unresolved trauma they put off dealing with. So what do you do?
Start with prayer. Speak to the Creator of the universe and everything in it. He knows what we are going through, and He knows what will happen. Talking things out helps. It puts our challenges in perspective.
Talk to God throughout the day. He listens like no one else does. He hears what is in your heart…
I believe most people are good at heart. They mean well and typically treat others with kindness and respect.
When we give, whether we are giving money or giving of ourselves, let’s do it with a cheerful attitude. Doing good without concerning yourself with getting repaid is pure. If we give and feel resentment, we should examine our hearts to determine why we are resentful.
Everything we do and say is a reflection of what is in our hearts. Let’s allow goodness to reign…
People are confused nowadays. They are confused because they believe their worth is tied to their status, money, zip code or position in life. They are gravely mistaken.
Our worth lies in the one who created us. God planned each and every one of us exactly how He wanted us to be. This is the foundation of our worth.
External stuff will die, but our relationship with the Creator is eternal…
We Christians should show we are people of faith by our actions, not just our words. Words without actions are hollow. Set the example for others and don’t make it about yourself.
There is much good that God provides beyond what is visible. I can take things for granted. I don’t have any way of knowing how many things God has protected me from. But I know He has.
Be bold in practicing your faith. In fact, be audacious…
Eternal means something with no end but also no beginning. How does that happen?
We know God is eternal. Our home in eternity will have no end to it. This is hard to get my head around, but I don’t have to understand it to believe it. Just like gravity. I cannot explain it, yet I know better than to jump off a building because it wouldn’t end well!
We know there is more than what we see. The spiritual realm is real. Let’s work on focusing on what we can’t see beyond what we can see. It’s got eternal consequences…
Yesterday I went to check on a good friend because I hadn’t heard from him. I let myself in to his house and he wasn’t on the sofa. I felt encouraged because that was his normal resting place. I walked into his kitchen and found him dead on the floor.
God knows how many days we have on this planet. We don’t have that luxury. But we are inspired to make the most of the time we are here. I don’t always do that, but I keep trying.
My friend had a history of bad health which he was working to improve on. I’m at peace with his passing away. He did live a good life, and was a blessing to many. He will be missed, and he will be remembered.
Live fully, everyone. Don’t waste the dawn…
