What's Inside?

One cannot expect something out of someone that is not in them. People are who they are because of what’s inside of them (Past Life Experiences), and where they are mentally, physically and spiritually. What’s inside of an individual will eventually come out - Matthew 12:34b

Until a person’s heart is changed they will not change. One cannot expect Heathens to be Holy or Sinners to act like Saints.

An individual’s life and lifestyle exemplifies what, who, and whose they are. It also reveals what they love. What one watches, hears, and reads as well as the places they visit and the relationships they have greatly influences their behavior and reveals their character.

Learn to Evaluate your Intake because what’s inside is who you really are.

Greener Grass

Sometimes when you realize that you have made the wrong choice it is too late and unless God miraculously intervenes, you must live with the consequences forever.

Learn to pray and heed to the voice of God before you make decisions and choices.

Two statements that I have come to learn are true:
“All that glitters is not gold.”
“The grass is not always greener on the other side.”

Pray and think long and hard before you make decisions.

Water and nurture your grass before you jump the fence and trade it in for a new lawn. Once you go across the fence you may never be able to come back. You may find out that grass is not greener or cleaner on the other side. You may now be stuck with weeds, bugs, and things that you could not see before you crossed the fence. In short make sure you know before you go because once you go you may be gone forever.

Remember:
Psalm 23:1-6
Psalm 121:1-8

Grace For Your Thorn

“And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.”
(II Corinthians 12:7-10)

Do You Have A Thorn?
Husband?
Wife?
Job/Career?
Illness?
Family Member(s)?
Friend(s)?
Coworker(s)?

Sometimes God allows people and or things in our lives to keep us humble, focused and dependent upon Him. God’s grace is sufficient to help you endure no matter the situation or the circumstance. Just continue to pray, trust and obey God.

Remember:
Hebrews 13:5
Psalm 34:19
Psalm 46:10

Success

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”

(Joshua 1:8 KJV)

Success is desired by many and obtained by few because the few do what the many refuse to do. The many refuse to DO that is take action. In order to succeed you must do. Success is simple.
The Journey is not easy. Success is gratifying and rewarding. The journey is grueling and toilsome. Success is obtainable if you are willing to obey God, pay the price and endure.

“But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth , that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.”

(Deuteronomy 8:18 KJV)
