WHO ARE YOU?


Proverbs 23:7

For as he thinks in his heart, so is he


Everyone sees themselves in a certain light.  Men of importance place themselves on a pedestal while others see themselves as worth less than what they really are.  These thoughts are manifested by the words you speak. You may not talk about yourself directly but you give insight to the value you set for yourself via the tone and nature of your attitude towards life that is highlighted by the way you communicate (verbal, and non-verbal)!

The question I ask you is: What do you think of yourself?  I will not just hear the answer.  I will see it as well.  I will see it in your actions and hear it in your words.  Others will know if you love yourself by how you carry yourself.  Some will see the confidence you have for your future by the goals you set for yourself.  Deeper still, I will know the content and source of your character by where you put your faith and whom you consult.

 Your words and thoughts are a powerful tool when it comes to how you position yourself to being used in GODs hands.  He has made each person with special abilities and talents.  Yet GOD does not force you to use or accept them.  He wants you to be bold and have faith in Him via the gifts he has given you.  I am not saying that you need to toot your own horn.  Realize that you need to think of yourself in the terms that GOD thinks of you.  GOD thought that you were worth dying for.  He trusts you to give you an assignment to spread his gospel and use your talents for the good of the world.  In this light, no matter how low or high you place yourself; it is irrelevant in comparison to the value GOD has placed on you.  Place your confidence in Him, and don’t just go through the motions . . . Start living.  Let him shape you and recreate you in the image He has always wanted you to be!.  Find yourself in Him! 

 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...
