Today, there will be someone out there who needs what you have to give. Never think that what you have to offer is insignificant. It’s huge in the eyes of God, even if you think it doesn’t amount to much…a drink of water sure doesn’t look like much to you but to some people, it’s the difference between life and death. A listening ear may not look like much to you but to someone who feels all alone in the world, it means everything. Never despise the small things because in God’s eyes, they might just be HUGE.

  Ever wondered how you could forgive someone who chose to hurt you so deeply? Forgiveness isn’t about accepting or excusing their behavior. It’s about letting it go and preventing their behavior from destroying your heart. You deserve better than that.

Ever been listening to someone tell a story by way of China and you can’t help but think “I just wasted 2 hours of my life on that story!” Or maybe you’ve been put on hold and it seemed like an eternity before the person came to the phone. In life, all we are given is time and time is precious…When you spend time with someone, you are giving a piece of your life to them and they are giving a piece of their life to you. Treasure it, don’t abuse it.

Don’t allow others to control the direction of your life. Only you and Jesus know the path that’s right for you. Oh, others mean well with all of their subtle or not-so-subtle advice, but only Jesus can get you where you need to go. So, instead of changing your plans to fit their plan, you can thank them for trying to help but let them know that Jesus is your guide.

  Anger is ugly…it looks bad and feels worse after we blow sky high. Sometimes we even make a fool of ourselves in the process. Anger is a “punishment” that we give ourselves for someone else’s mistake. Cool down, step away, pray…just don’t fall into anger.

We have to get to the place where our mood doesn’t shift based on the insignificant actions of someone else. We have a choice whether we allow the actions of someone else to wreck our happy peaceful day. I don’t know about you but I don’t want ANYBODY to have that kind of control over me! So when someone says or does something that could upset me, I just picture the Holy Spirit standing next to me. His presence settles my spirit. Try it.
