Be Happy
Trying to stay positive in a negative world can be tough at times. But we can’t let other people’s negativity affect our lives. We are Christian believers. That means that we have something to look forward to every day. When you get out of bed in the morning, God is there. When you eat lunch, God is there. When you work yourself silly, God is there. We should be the happiest people on earth!
Be Kind to YOU
Being kind to YOU is the best medicine you can take. Some of us are all about taking care of the world and all it’s people. We go and go to the point of insanity. We’re exhausted, feel like a failure because we didn’t do more, and at the same time, look for more things to do. Let me ask you a question. What would happen if you died right now? Do you think the world would be thrown into chaos? God doesn’t call you to pour out to the point of exhaustion. We do that ourselves. If you can’t take a day just for you, then take an hour. Do something that you’ve been wanting to do and stop feeling guilty.
Win Souls
Jesus called us to win souls, not arguments! In order to win souls we need a few things operating in our life…a passion to see others come to Jesus, a love for all mankind and a heart that doesn’t judge. Arguments start when someone doesn’t agree with us. Perhaps we’ve forgotten that we walked in sin before Jesus found us. Do you really think you can badger people into the kingdom? You and I are fishers of men…our bait is love. And then when they accept Jesus as Savior, He cleans them up. So let’s work on our love and forget the arguments.
Good News, Bad News
I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that you and I are free to make our own choices every day. The bad news is that we are not free from the consequence of our choices. I’m pretty sure that’s a picture of reaping what we sow. Might be a good idea to ask God for wisdom every day of our lives. Then we’ll always have a good crop and no regrets.
Heart of God Never Changes
A lie doesn’t become the truth just because we don’t like the truth. Wrong doesn’t become right and evil doesn’t become good, just because it is accepted by a majority. If we’re a Christian, we absolutely must base our opinions, our lifestyle and our voting power according to what God’s Word says. If you’ve read it, you are seeing the heart of God. It never changes.
Thankfulness a Must
There is always, always, always something to be thankful for. I’ve noticed we have great opportunity every day to complain from the weather to other people, from life situations to sickness…God tells us not only to LOOK for the good but then to praise Him even when we don’t feel like it. Time to shift our focus and walk in thankfulness every day. The more you operate in thankfulness, the better life becomes
