The more problems I have with friends and family lately the more this verse pops up:
Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion. Hebrews 3:8
It’s so easy to turn inward and only think of yourself as being right. The result is that you harden your heart. And when your heart gets hard it turns you into one hard and calloused person. Continue reading “Do Not Harden Your Heart”
People around you are always going to do something that hurts your feelings. And those people even include friends and family. We are all flawed humans who tend to look inward to our own interests. So, we end up hurting others and getting hurt. Get over it. And next time you get hurt by someone remember how it feels so you don’t hurt someone else. Continue reading “People Hurt. Get Over It!”
If you could describe life in one word what would you call it? Think about it for a few minutes. Then, compare your answer with God’s. Life is… Continue reading “God. Life. Simple.”
With this life way too short, how do you live it? Go for the gusto and don’t let anyone or anything in your way, knowing this is all there is? Or do you realize, that as short as this life is, there is another one that lasts forever? You can live life for today, or you can live life for today and tomorrow. How you live today determines where you end up tomorrow. Continue reading “This Life is Too Short!”
Nothing!!! There is simply nothing you can’t do when you acknowledge God within you. God is less than a heartbeat away empowering you. Doubt, especially whispered by the devil, is what holds you back. Give in to that doubt and you are grounded for life. Overcome it and you soar to limitless possibilities. Continue reading “What Can’t You Do?”
The sages say that the answer to the question, “Where does God live?” is “Where you look for him.'”

If you don’t look for God you won’t find Him—even though he is right here!
Who do you live for—you, others, or God? Do you live each day trying to please yourself, others, or God? The first two are a losing battle. The only way to live life is by living to please God. In doing so, you may not please everyone but you will sure please yourself and at least some others in the process. You will find greater happiness, fulfillment, and peace in your life. Sound too simple? That’s because it is! Continue reading “Pleasing You, Others, or God?”
It doesn’t matter what country you live in, what “religion” you are, or any other artificial differences we humans use to pit one against the other. We are all free and equal, and independent, under the eyes of God. He sent His only Son to set us free from sin and make us one people. A people who Jesus commanded to love.
Something to think about this on the 4th of July. And here’s my post from last year that says it all—The MOST Important Independence Day!
Have a GREAT day—wherever you are. You’re free!
Jesus said to Peter, “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church.” (Matthew 16:18) Peter was a rock but one rock does not build a church. It takes many rocks to build a church; the higher the church, the more rocks it takes. That’s why each one of us needs to be a rock. Jesus by his life taught us to be rocks. Are you? Continue reading “Are You a Rock?”
There are times, especially when things aren’t going well, when we tense up. We push too hard. We try to fit square pegs in our lives into round circles. We force. That’s the time to do the opposite. Relax. Sit back. Let go and let God into your life. Let God do the driving. Continue reading “Relax and Let God Do the Driving”
