Thought of the Day—Do you want to know a secret? There are no secrets with God; He knows everything we’ve done and said anyway…it’s just a matter of being real with Him and confessing what He already knows. Don’t you think our human relationships would go a little smoother if we were more open and honest with others? I’m not talking about brute force honesty but speaking out truth in love…
Thought of the Day—Prayer and God’s Word; power tools that anyone can use…
Thought of the Day— What kind of attitude do you carry around? Do you look at the woes of this world and declare, “There is no hope!” or do you embrace the truth that hope most certainly rises up and makes it’s self known in the most unlikely places?
Thought of the Day—Placing a tiara on your head and calling yourself a princess doesn’t necessarily make it so unless you plan to rule over the Land of Delusion…ask God to help you accept the person you are right now with all of your imperfections while He works to transform you into what you were intended to be all along…a reflection of His grace and mercy…
Thought of the Day—Birds aren’t intended to be held in captivity but to fly free and uninhibited. So it is with our souls; God doesn’t want us to get entangled by the woes of this world but rather to soar above our circumstances and to focus on the bigger picture. For we are only sojourners on a journey and this is not our home. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be involved in this world to influence positive change while we are here… just don’t be tempted to pitch a tent…
Thought of the Day—Never resent or underestimate your limitations or imperfections, for these potentially underappreciated qualities may be the very tools God uses to help successfully navigate you through this life…
Thought of the Day—You can’t bring your hate through those beautiful pearly gates…but then again, why would you want to? Isn’t it time to put that misplaced animosity into the hands of Jesus?
Thought of the Day—Sometimes when life becomes too much and we concentrate on our daily struggles to the point of skewing reality, we need to just take a step back from the cold, dark room of despair, turn around and peer out life’s window for a while; to take a long, hard look at life all around us so we can once again gain a proper perspective and a new appreciation for our own life and the possibilities that God has laid before us…
Thought of the Day—Attempting to have a healthy spiritual life without studying the word of God is like placing duct tape over your partner’s mouth and yet expecting open communications; all you have left is a hollow, dysfunctional relationship…
Thought of the Day— Do you ever feel like one of the broken, one of the walking wounded, perhaps one of the not so perfect inhabitants on the Island of misfit toys? If you do, don’t feel so isolated for there are many of us walking around this earth. But guess what? Jesus preferred to run around with the out crowd, the outcasts, the least of these probably because the need was so great and so much grace was able to be given. Even on this day, this hour, this moment, Jesus wants to meet you just where you are…to apply much grace, more mercy, and most of all full forgiveness. But just remember one thing, He WILL meet you where you are but has no intention for you to remain the way you are…
