The Unknown

People fear the unknown. But what do we really know?

Every moment of each new day is unique, different. We like to believe we can script our lives, but there is only one screenwriter. His name is God. He is in control of everything from our heartbeats to our safety. That’s pretty humbling, huh?

Our attitude is in our control. So when life brings you unexpected trials or joy, embrace them with an attitude of optimism and peace. No matter the situation, remember who holds our tomorrows in His hands. He is good…

Valentines Day

Today is Valentine’s Day, the day to celebrate love. So let’s examine this thing called love.

In America, we use the word freely. I “love” this movie, and I even use it to describe my favorite cheeseburger! But love is a verb.

The Bible gives us the best description of what love really is. The Apostle Paul wrote that love is patient, kind, and it doesn’t want its own way. Love trusts and protects, never wavering.

Celebrate your loved ones today and every day. I believe if you care for someone, you show them every day in some way, not just on Valentines Day…

Difficulty

All of us experience difficulties in life. This side of eternity is imperfect. Here is my perspective on life’s challenges.

God allows us to go through the troughs of life. He is in control, and it’s important to remember that God doesn’t cause bad things to happen. He allows it. He is using it to prepare us for something more while, hopefully we shift our focus more onto Him.

God is on our side. Always. And that includes the ugly periods of life…

Inventory

Take a good look at yourself. Make a list of your talents and strengths. Thank the Creator for giving them to you.

When you focus on what you have instead of what others have, your thoughts align with your purpose. Coveting a talent someone else has takes away from your joy in the moment. God hardwired you exactly the way He wanted you. Go with it!

All of us are unique. It’s time to put your uniqueness on display…

Approval

When I was growing up, a frequent saying from the adults was, “what would they say?” Who is they???

The only approval we should strive for is the approval of God alone. When we live our lives in obedience to God, and we are trying to do what is good, right and noble, I’m guessing we are okay with God. Even when we slip we are okay with God. He never changes.

Live your life with the purpose the Creator put in you. Do your best. If you slide backwards, get yourself back on track. The infamous “they” have no authority over your life…

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…
