”Whoever is trying to take you down is already below you.” I am shocked at people, both in the media and those walking down the street, that do their best to tear someone down. No forgiveness. No compassion….lets just all hate someone together! Dear God, what have we become when we gang up on people and do our best to destroy someone? It speaks volumes about us!

  Nobody knows going on in the heart of another. You see, some things can’t be seen on the outside…the broken heart, the chronic pain, the devastating loss of a loved one or a pet, the sadness caused by addiction or the fear and worry that seems to go on forever. So cut other people some slack and maybe even say a little prayer when they seem to be “out of sorts”. We truly don’t know their heart but Jesus does.

Overthinking? Rehearsing what you said or did? Wondering if you made someone mad or embarrassed yourself? All that does is keep you swimming in guilt, shame and regret. That makes it miserable. Time to switch those thoughts. You can’t change anything by looking back….but you can change your future. Ask God to help you capture your negative thoughts. And remember who you are! You’re special my friend and you were created in the image of God.

    ”If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl”. But whatever you do…keep moving forward. Keep your eyes on what’s ahead. If you turn around, you will slow down. Remember this: Inch by inch, life’s a cinch. Don’t measure your progress by tasks completed. Measure your progress by what you’re moving towards.

  Let’s see, it’s been 8 days since a lot of New Year’s resolutions were made. Are you hanging in there or have you chucked them out the window moaning about how hard they are to keep? Do you realize that what you speak will determine the choices you make? In other words, you can talk yourself out of anything that looks the least bit hard. On the other hand, you can cheer yourself on to victory.

  I wonder how many people spend their lives wishing they had said or done something different. I wonder how many people keep looking back with regret at things they can’t change. Looking back didn’t work well for Lot’s wife and it won’t work well for you either. You might not turn into a giant salt shaker but you will find yourself missing out on the joys of today and the wonders of tomorrrow
