  You can’t defeat the demons you keep playing with! If you let a “little bit of sin” in your life, you just threw the door open to Satan and his crew. You may have only meant to sin a little but that’s just the bait. Once you’ve stepped over the line and disobeyed God, you will be hooked. Sin will take you farther than you want to go and keep you longer than you ever intended to stay. No more playing with the demons.

Don’t think before you speak. Then you can be just as surprised as everyone else by what comes out of your mouth. Of course, there’s a good chance that the result could be disastrous!! There’s a reason why God says to guard our words. He knows those words come from an impure heart. We are still a work in progress. Our hearts are changing but until they are fully changed, we have to guard our mouths 24/7.

When you’ve loved someone and done all you can to make a relationship work, but the other person doesn’t love you back, think about this. If your love wasn’t enough, then any words you speak won’t make a difference either. So save your breath…just turn around and find someone who will love you the way you love them.

The older we get, the easier it is to look back and realize that our life just doesn’t look the way we thought it would. We are where we are because of choices we made and words we spoke. Who knows? Maybe we made the choices God wanted us to. Sometimes, we just have to let go of the picture of what we thought life would be like and learn to find joy in the story we’re living.

It’s easy to look at others and call out their hateful attitude towards others. But a person doesn’t have to operate with great hate to do great harm. We do harm every time we fail to see a need, lack empathy, or withhold compassion. It’s just easier to see what we DO instead of what we DON’T DO.

    Grieving isn’t always profound sadness. It can also appear as anger, loneliness, fear, depression and a feeling of helplessness. Grief can show up consistently or hit you out of the blue when you least expect it. There is no “normal” when it comes to grief. Just remember that the Comforter will walk with you no matter how and when it shows up. Praying for those who have lost a loved one…whether it was yesterday or years ago, it’s still a loss that leaves a “hole” in our heart.
