 What if…

...we exhibited patience?
...we chose not to be offended?
...we quit taking everything so personally?
..we changed the degrading way we talk to others?
...we focused on what we did have in common?
...we chose the big picture?
At the end of the day, the point of loving people we disagree with is unity. Whether the issue is petty or prominent, we can choose people first. Because if we, as followers of Jesus, want people to know our Savior and Lord the way we do, that’s where we have to start. Let’s represent Jesus well so that others want to know Him. And when they do, the Holy Spirit is quite capable of leading them to adjust any viewpoints that are inconsistent with His truth.

  God Will Show Up- Not when you want. Not when you think you need Him to but when the time is right God will show up. Yes, He knows what you are going through. He is listening. He cares. He needs you to be a better person so He lets you go through things that bring you closer to Him. He wants you to lean on Him for guidance and advice. When you have rid yourself of all selfishness, arrogance, anger, shame and hate you have made room for Him to do great things in you.

I know it changed your life but it is time to give yourself permission to be happy again.   That does not mean to act like it never happened. It just means that you acknowledge it did but decide to break free from the hold it has on you. You ask why do we...

 Air It Out - On New Year’s Eve at midnight, I wanted to make sure that 2020 was gone for good so I opened up all the doors and windows to let the 2020 air out of the house and 2021 air in. I could feel the breeze moving through the house and pictured all the bad stuff floating out with it. A little superstitious I know but that’s how bad it’s been.   In 2020 I lost my sister to cancer and friends to COVID. I watched on TV the worst come out of people in this country. Got hurt for the first time in my life and spent three months on the sofa. Yes, I’m glad to see 2020 gone! It got me to thinking though. Maybe I need to do the same thing with my mind. Open everything up let the bad out and the good in. It’s amazing the trash we collect in our minds. So, I prayed that God would remove the bad and fill me with the Holy Spirit. A new year is for new beginnings. The person you have been you can do away with right now. You can choose to let go of things like anger, hate, fear and...
