WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

You want to grow and be more mature? Go through difficulties. Embrace hardship. Press in and press on and do not be easily discouraged. You want to be Christlike and do what Jesus would do? Be still and know that He is God. Stop saying what you will and won't do. Humble thyself in the sight of the Lord and HE will lift you up. Be willing to do whatever it takes to stop focusing on your own needs and circumstances. Look around you and find someone who needs a friend, a listening ear, or someone to help them carry their load... give all you can and expect nothing in return, not even a 'thank you.'

If someone has wronged you, do not point it out. Forgive them. Let it go. "The mercy you don't give is the mercy you don't get." God's mercy triumphs over judgement. His kindness leads to repentance. Get rid of any attitudes or perceptions that keep you from walking in agreement with the law of love. . . compassion, self control, forgiveness, and reconciliation.

“But, "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord." For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.” II Corinthians 10:17-18

What are you waiting for? One step at a time. One day at a time. Determine in your heart to love the Lord and obey Him with your strength, your words, your actions, your dealings with others.

DEAR CHILDREN OF GOD

As seasons change, anxieties creep in; doubts attempt to steal your peace, and cause you to second guess your decisions…slam the door on despair! Bride of Christ be aware and alert, ever watchful, remaining & abiding in Him. Open your ears, hear what the Spirit is saying to you. Do not entertain thoughts of accusations towards one another. Speak evil of no man. Realize who you are and the words of reconciliation that you have been entrusted with. (II Corinthians 5:17) Be reconciled one to another. Be reconciled to God. Reconcile all men unto God. Endeavor to keep the bond of peace. Forgive one another as God has forgiven you. Remember that He does not treat you as your sins deserve. That grace is not a excuse to keep on sinning, but merciful compassion that makes way for true repentance. So let’s get to it without delay! “GIVE NO OFFENSE IN ANYTHING THAT THE MINISTRY BE NOT BLAMED.” (II Corinthians 6:3) “Love keeps no record of wrongs.” (I Corinthians 13) “The anger of man

TIME DEVOTED

When all the noise and chaos stops, then what do you got? When you cease to live for the approval of others and are no longer in competition with the best of them... suddenly you've got more time on your hands. It seems it is always a good time to reflect, review, and acknowledge what could be stealing precious time and resources and keeping us from being devoted to who and what really matters.                                                    The WORD of GOD and PRAYER. “The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the LORD will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. (Isaiah 41:17) IF WE WOULD DARE TO ADMIT IT, we are the poor and needy. We all need prayer and immediate assistance and direction and help even just to call on the name of Jesus, or pick up His Word daily. Pray for me to spend time as I should, not neglecting the little things.
