Be Heard
There are people in the world who feel like they don’t matter. The pandemic ravaged mental health, and every day there are people who don’t know where their next meal is coming from.
Everyone matters to God. He didn’t create us to forget about us. If your fellow man is hurting, help him and help him help himself. Speak up for the marginalized, the voiceless. Doing what’s right is rarely easy, and sometimes you have to stand alone. Stand up and be heard…
Show Yourself!
People are guarded. They are afraid to show who they truly are because of the fear of judgment. We are created in the image of God. He doesn’t make mistakes, nor does he second guess himself.
People will judge you no matter what. However, they have no authority over your life. Authority belongs to God alone, and He sees who we truly are. Live your life to please Him, not the world…
Trials
Trials are placed in our lives to grow us…to strengthen us. We have a choice when faced with challenges: we can rise to the challenge or we can shrink from it. To rise, think of the trials of life as opportunities. It might not make what you are going through any easier, but it gives purpose to the challenge…
Time
Our time is the greatest gift we can give others. Be judicious about the people you allow into your life. They will either inspire you or bring you down. Be purposeful…
Control
The basis for worry is our desire to be in control. When the moment arrives where you realize that God is in control of everything, worries disappear and you begin working with greater purpose. Cede your desire to control your outcomes, and pursue your destiny…
Cuts…
Why do people feel the need to criticize others and put them down?
The genesis of criticism and cut-downs is the critics own self esteem. When you feel good about yourself inside, you look for the good in others. And if you find yourself in a position where you need to offer some constructive criticism, choose your timing well and use gentleness and self control when delivering the message.
Bring light into the lives of others…
Broken…
When a car breaks down, we get it repaired. Why don’t we fix ourselves?
All of us are broken in some way. Our lives might look good, even perfect on social media, but we hide our true selves. All of us have past hurts, pain, unresolved issues and great memories. This makes us who we are.
We can fix our emotional brokenness through self-work. People avoid this kind of work because it’s hard to really look at yourself, your flaws and patterns which don’t serve you well. But doing the hard work on yourself is so worthwhile. Take the first brave step to freedom. And keep going…
Stories…
Everyone has a story. Write yours however you want, full of rich experiences that will give you wonderful memories. We have free will, so exercise yours…
