Drop it!!!!


Ephesians 4:32 ESV Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

How can you love God, and still be upset with that family member that owes you 200 dollars from twelve years ago.  We say we would die for the cause of Christ and His gospel, but it would almost kill us to speak to the person who wronged us.

When this life ends, all of the wrongs and anger will fade away and all that you will face will be GOD’s judgment for how you spent you time here. How can you really believe that you have lived a life of love when your neighbor or your family member has been on your “ill will” list for the past 5 years. Don’t you think it’s time to practice the love you profess? It is time to stop letting hurt, pain, and un-forgiveness occupy your heart. How can you fully become what God has commanded you to be when this issue lingers in your life? When you hold that memory, and pain in your heart you give Satan a foothold in your life. You let that person have a power over your life. If you have held on to the past pain and anger I challenge you to move and pray for your own forgiveness.  

Forgive, even when you are in pain, Forgive even when you still are angry.  I am not saying forget or blindly love and accept whatever is done to you. Rather I urge you to go through the hope chest of your past and remove anything that does not add value to your future. Remove the stronghold of grudges and anger from your life. Remove that anchor holding you down and preventing you from fully learning the lessons of your past. Move past your past! Learn from it and then move on! Cherish it and then move on! Forgive yourself and others and then move on! Love, live, forgive, and pray! Let these actions become how you remember your relationships and past. Replace anger with love, grudges with lessons learned, and the memories of your enemies with the passion and love of God!

Be encouraged! I love you always and in all ways.

Never Lose You!

Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? _____________________________________________________ The world would have you believe that it has all of the answers.   The world will tell you that what you see, hear, feel, touch and smell is all that is real and worth living for.   But you may not know or understand that living for the rewards of this world come at a cost.   The world’s influence, when used as the blueprint for living, takes your heart and shapes it to its will leaving you an empty shell of who you really are. Nothing in this world is worth changing who you are in Christ.   There is no middle ground in the issue.   Yes, we are all a work in progress and live in this world, but who we are is not dictated by anything or anyone in this world.   Who you are is worth more than whatever this world has to offer.   Do not chase the image the world is selling you.   Unless...

TIME!

James 4:14   Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. __________________________________________________________ Our plans and plots are events that we try to cram into the short time we have on this earth.   The term YOLO is very true.   We only have one life, and one short chance to live and make a difference in this world.   When we make plans for our lives we are, at best, looking at a very small slice of time.   Our time is like a seed.   A seed is small!  Yet it will leave a legacy that will be manifested in the tree and fruit that is produced.   The seed will die but what it leaves behind speaks to what was planted.   What have you decided to do with your time?   Strive to let your life edify God and leave a legacy of love via your life of expression.   Express the gift that God has given you through His son Jesus Chris...

WHERE IS YOUR HEART?

Matthew 6:19-21 19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. _____________________________________________________________ We live in a time and society that has all of us planning, working, toiling and pressing forward each day.  Every moment of our time and efforts press us towards goals and a future we carefully attempt to plan for.  Some of  us are so engulfed and focused on these plans and the temporal benefits of the perceived outcomes our plans will achieve. However, as christians our existence is more than the time we have in this world. We must make an investment into eternity.   "HOW DO WE DO THIS?" you may ask!   We must shift our thoughts and priori...
