Have you ever felt like you were carrying the weight of the world? Have you ever wondered how you could lighten your load? Here’s a suggestion. Our journey through life will be so much “lighter and easier” if we don’t carry our past with us. Most of what we carry has to do with yesterday…the regrets, the what ifs, the wrong decisions and the hurts that just won’t go away. So let’s leave that bag of yesterday in the closet and carry only “today”. And walk through life light as a feather.

We can give our kids the world but if we don’t give them Jesus, we gave them nothing. More and more that thought crosses my mind. We are consumed with making sure our kids have the best clothes, a car when its time, a good education…but what about Jesus? Let’s keep the main thing the main thing!

Looking at the things that are going wrong in your life, thinking about them day and night, and telling them to anyone who will listen, keeps peace from flowing in our life. When we put our problems in God’s hands, He will put His peace in our heart. Sounds easy doesn’t it? Unfortunately it requires us to stop trying to fix the problem ourselves and surrender to God. Can you do it?

“Broken hearts, broken relationships and broken people”…all unnecessary. Brought to you by the world. Jesus is the Healer, the One who can mend the brokenness in all of us.

Here’s some good advice: Give people a bit of your heart instead of a piece of your mind. I know we think we have all the answers for everybody else but truthfully, all they want to see is how much we care. There’s a WARNING that goes along with this: If we insist on telling people how to live their lives, they are going to look very carefully at how we’ve been handling our own. Unless you’re perfect, this could get messy!

God isn’t going to rewrite the Bible just for you. Its truth is eternal even if it doesn’t fit in today’s world view. ALL of it is truth and amen. That means we can’t cherry pick what we want to believe and throw out the rest. In Thessalonians, the scripture talks about a great “falling away” before the Anti-Christ appears. In the original Greek, one definition is that people will not “stand” in agreement with God’s Word. They will choose their own reality. Where will you stand?
