Sometimes the worst place we can be is in our own head. Kind of a scary place isn’t it? Some of us have minds that travel at the speed of light. Some of our minds bounce from subject to subject. Want your mind to settle down and behave itself?? Turn your thoughts to Jesus and He will bring you peace. A peaceful mind is a happy mind…and it’s definitely not scary in there anymore.

  How foolish we are when we hold a grudge and think it makes us strong: it only makes us bitter. We all know the Bible tells us to forgive. Somehow, we find that hard to do. Believe me when I say, forgiving doesn’t make us weak. It’s one of the hardest things we can do: best of all, it sets us free.

  ” The one who plants trees, knowing that he will never sit in their shade, has started to understand the meaning of life. “ What are you doing today that will change the world for a better tomorrow? The generation to come needs each and every one of us…both in the things we do physically and the spiritual inheritance we leave behind.

    It may seem like the world {and its values} is a good place to live. We can do what we want to do…And we don’t have to answer to anybody! Of course, there’s always a day of reckoning. Just between you and me, I would rather stand with God and be judged by the world, than stand with the world and be judged by God.

If you rearrange the letters in depression you’ll get “ I pressed on”. If you find yourself in a place of depression, it’s time to press on! Where you are right now isn’t where you will always be. It isn’t your final destination…unless you refuse to move forward. Start by talking to Jesus and asking Him to heal your mind and your emotions. The Bible says He will give you a garment of praise for a spirit of heaviness. See, you already have something to praise Him for!        

  Let’s face it. We can’t judge others by the way they appear on the outside. We may think someone is really strong. But they may just be a weak person with a very strong God. If you find yourself in that place today and you feel like you could crumble at any minute, it’s time to lean into God. He will NEVER leave you…and He will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory! You’re going to be okay.
