Learn It!
Do you ever observe unhealthy patterns in other people and wonder why they won’t change? Why do people stay in abusive relationships, drink to excess or lie?
Here’s some truth which I will express as gently as I can: they have to learn healthy habits for themselves. When people find their voice, their inner strength, they change. They own the change because they did it for themselves.
Until that moment comes, pray for them. Pray hard, and believe God will change them because He can. There is unlimited power in Jesus. Believe it…
Bridges
Reach out in kindness to those who are different and difficult. They need human connection, too. Try to see life through their eyes.
Stand firm in your convictions that are true, right and noble. Let go of prejudgments. You will grow when you build a bridge…
Progress
We set goals and objectives for our lives. We want to feel like we are growing and progressing. But old habits can be hard to break.
Commit to changing one thing that doesn’t get you where you’re trying to go. Stay with it. If you fall backwards, start again. You aren’t defeated until you decide you are.
If nothing changes, nothing changes…
Pain
The holidays are difficult for me. When I was a child, year after year brought disappointment during Christmas. It wasn’t because I didn’t get what I wanted. We were a broken family, and all I really wanted was to fix us.
Many people are living with similar pain during this season. Be mindful. Be kind. Your kindness might make all the difference to someone…
Help
Money doesn’t buy happiness. You only get fulfillment through service to others, to those who can never do anything to repay you…
I Care
How do you show someone that you care about them? I believe you let them know they are in your thoughts, you listen to them, and you have patience with them even when you feel rushed or tired.
Caring for others is in our DNA. We are hardwired to be in relationship with others. We need people in our lives, the right people.
Take care of the people you love. Show them, don’t just tell them…
Dangerous Prayer
Do you want to know the most dangerous prayer you can offer? It’s a simple two words: “Use me.” God answers that one every time! And there’s usually not much waiting time between saying the words and God putting you into action.
Prayer has power. And I want you to remember this: God will not put you in a position to harm you. He will use us to accomplish His work on earth and it will glorify Him.
Live dangerously. Pray the prayer…
Expiration Date
Let’s face it, all of us have a limited amount of time on earth. We don’t have the luxury of knowing how long, but it’s up to us to make the most of our time.
Live fully. Every day. Stay focused on the far horizon and don’t allow anyone to discourage you from realizing your dreams…
Romance
Romance is fun and exciting, isn’t it? But it’s torture during those periods of pain. The reason there’s pain is because you care.
Relationships aren’t always happy and free of care. They can be messy. Other people can bring out the best in us, and sometimes the worst. Selfish behavior on our part makes us unreasonable and hard-headed. So how do we make certain we are being loving and kind, even when we don’t feel like it?
Let’s consider the words of The Apostle Paul when he wrote, “Love is patient and kind. It does not envy, does not boast, and it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
The word of God has power. Revere it, believe it and practice it…
