Indifference

Love and hate are powerful emotions. Great things happen through the power of love, while hatred destroys what is good.

Being indifferent means you don’t care. There is no emotional attachment, no feeling.

As an example, I’m indifferent to which team wins the Super Bowl this year. Poor example, but you get what I mean.

Channel your energy into the things you love. You can move mountains, if you believe you can…

Unseen Battles

Are you aware there is a spiritual battle going on around us that we can’t see? That’s right. When horrible things happen, there is a spiritual cause. Just because we can’t see it doesn’t make it less real.

We have an invisible enemy who desperately tries to destroy us. He has many weapons: death, disease, addiction and more. He doesn’t hesitate to use any and all of them.

The good news is, we worship a God with unlimited power. No demon can stand up to Him, nor can they thwart God’s plans for our lives.

We access God’s unlimited power through prayer. Use it. Often…

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…

Money

Making money is one of the easiest things we do. Yet, people use it as a measuring stick to see how well they are doing versus other people. That’s pointless! When you start to compare yourself with others, you rob yourself of so much.

Keep money in perspective. It’s simply our method of paying our bills, but more importantly money is a tool we can use to do good. Be good, and spread goodness. Money will look different to you when you do…

Rest

Do you ever feel worn out? I believe most people have felt this way, whether physically or mentally. As a writer, sometimes I hit critical mass and my mind stops the flow of creative thoughts. I’m able to recognize it and walk away for a period of time.

Sometimes you just need to take a break and rest. American culture has some guilt associated with rest, but I encourage you to think counter culturally. Give yourself some peaceful rest, then start again. You will be better for doing so…

Perspectives

People love to argue, would you agree? Nowadays with social media it makes it easy for people to spew hatred at each other without any real consequences. Why waste the time and energy?

Two people can view the same object, and they will have different perspectives. The object is the same, but the lens it is being viewed through is different for everyone.

I default to the old saying, “seek first to understand before trying to be understood.” When we see things through the eyes of others, our perspective changes, and that’s a good thing…
