Peace comes....

Good Morning Christian Peeps! We must first obtain peace if we want to be peaceful.  Peace comes when we let worry go.  Peace comes when we stop fighting and start loving.  Peace comes when we strive for happiness rather than power.  Peace truly comes when we let things be.  If truly our Heavenly Father knows all and works everything to our good, then why should we worry?  Why should we fret?  Seek his direction, his will, his heart and then and only then will we find the peace we are looking for and the life we have always dreamed of.  When we give ourselves and our lives over to Him, then we know peace, then we know the meaning of our lives.  Be Blessed!  

Walk On Water!

Good Morning Christian Peeps!  Sometimes we spend way too much time looking at the water than at Jesus.  We all know the story of when Jesus calmed the storm out on the Sea and Peter ask the Lord if he could come to him.  Now Peter knew what he was asking.....let me walk to you...he believed!  Jesus bid him come and Peter began walking on the water to Jesus.  But like many of us, all of a sudden he realized what he was doing and looked down at the situation around him.  He lost contact with Jesus and began to sink.  So many times in our daily lives, we lose sight of Jesus, the one who controls our situations, and who calms the storms in our lives.  We stop focusing on Him and we start trying to figure it out on our own.  Let's raise our eyes back up to the one who really holds our yesterday's, our today's and our tomorrows and let Him bid us come.  Let's grasp our faith again and begin to walk on water!  Be Blessed!

"Let It Be"....

Good Morning Christian Peeps!  The song "Let It Be" by the Beatles is in my head.  This morning I thought if only we could really let go and trust God and just let it be, our lives would be so much easier.  So much simpler, so less stressful.  Even though we know we are not in control of the things around us, we still find ourselves, worrying, fretting, stressing over them.  How fruitless is that?  How crazy is that?  If we know not to worry and to have faith but we don't practice it, isn't that the same as the scripture, "he that knows to do good but does not do it, to him it's a sin?  I have determined in my heart to let go more.  To trust more, to really practice the faith that I know deep down I have.  I have been in that peaceful place when I have trusted and I know how that feels....I want to be there again.  My prayer, Dear wonderful Father, please help me to let go of all my problems, worries, stresses, and just know that you have them all handled.  Let me walk in your wisdom and knowledge knowing that everything works to my good.  I give them to you once again.  I release them and pray that I will always hand them to you and not take them back.  I trust in you with all my heart.  Amen!  Be blessed!

Redemption!

Good Morning Christian Peeps!  There isn't anything that we have done or will do that can take away redemption.  All of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, but there is redemption through Christ Jesus.  So no matter how many voices try to convince us that we have fallen too many times, that we are no longer worthy of grace we know that is not true.  We have been given grace freely.  It is there for all of us.  I love the quote below... Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.  We have all been there and done that.  So quit reflecting on what you have done and begin to reflect on God's grace and what you can do!  

Be Blessed!

Romans 3:23-24

²³ For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;²⁴ Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.

Oscar Wilde

Be, Do, Have....

Good Morning Christian Peeps!  It's all relative.  The people we meet, the jobs we secure, the things we accomplish.  Sometimes we wonder or at least I do, "What does it all mean"?  Are we where we should be, did we miss an opportunity, should we have done something else?  But according to everything I read, we are where we are, yes, from choices we make, but also because with every choice comes a lesson.  We are creatures meant to learn and adapt and grow.  If there were no lessons there would be no growth and everyone would be stuck in an immature state.  There wouldn't be technology because we didn't learn what didn't work in order to create what does.  So in essence, we are where we are because we are supposed to be.  We are here because we are supposed to learn something and pass it on or create a cure, or invent something worthwhile, or just lend a hand.  We all have purpose!  We must stop over thinking it and just began doing it.  We can't get bogged down in the should I shouldn't I scenarios ....we just have to wake up with intentions and take steps, move forward, just be, do and have.  Be Blessed! 

Progression Is A Forward Motion....

Good Morning Christian Peeps!  Maybe at some point or even a lot of points we have said, "Man I sure wish I had that!"  Well, the only difference in us saying I wish and having it, is the work that comes with getting it.  If we meander throughout our days just dreaming of things but never really putting forth the effort to achieve them, then apparently we didn't want it that bad.  There is a lot of satisfaction in just knowing that you attempted something.  Even if you don't always bat a thousand, there is comfort in the attempt.  Progression is: A movement or development toward a destination or a more advanced state, esp. gradually or in stages.

If there isn't any progression going on then what we would love to have remains just a dream.  It's time we get out of the dream mode and take those little tiny baby steps into what we have always wanted.  It's time to quit feeding ourselves lies about what we are incapable of doing and start recognizing that we can truly do all things through Christ, (who strengthens us) I might add!  Be Blessed!

Seize the Day!

Good Morning Christian Peeps!  Carpe Diem!  Seize the day.  Today we are alive.  Today we are breathing in and breathing out.  Today is the day to take risks, to wring out every possible moment of life, of existence.  Yesterday is a group of "what could have been and what should have been's.  But today is here, right now, waiting to be experienced.  Waiting to do something extraordinary.  Don't let today pass us by.  Tomorrow may never come and today will have been wasted.  Do something today that we have been longing to do.  Take the chance we have been putting off.  We may never get the opportunity to make it happen.  Seize the day!  Be Blessed!  

Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn! Look to this Day! For it is Life, the very Life of Life. In its brief course lie all the Verities and Realities of your Existence. The Bliss of Growth, The Glory of Action, The Splendor of Beauty; For Yesterday is but a Dream, And To-morrow is only a Vision; But To-day well lived makes Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness, And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope. Look well therefore to this Day! Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!

Failure Doesn't Have To Be The End....

Good Morning Christian Peeps!  I have learned that no matter how big I fail at something my mind refuses to give up!  How weird is that!  I want to give up, I tell myself I will never try again.  I rant and rave about the injustice of so many failures, but now, that only last hours and I am contemplating my next move.  Yes, I suppose it is a flaw that was built in early on.  But for whatever reason I can't lose hope.  Which brings me to this realization this morning.  I kinda knew it all along but was trying to discard it.  God has placed in me a huge heaping of hope.  Of belief that anything is possible.  I believe that he did that so I can continue to uplift those around me and assure them that with God anything is possible.  Am I tired of failing?  Well yes, but what is the alternative?  Mediocrity?  I would rather fail at something and move on then to sit and stew about should I, shouldn't I and never get anything accomplished.  At least with failure you learn things, like why did I do that or I could have done that better or oh maybe I am just learning to recover from failure faster.  I just hope and pray that with every failure, I learn the lesson that went along with it so I won't repeat it again.  Failure does not mean the end of everything, it is just new beginnings with new opportunities.  If Abraham Lincoln would have quit the fight for emancipation, where would we be?  If Thomas Edison had quit we would not have the light bulb and might still be in the dark.  So, if you have failed in the past and wondered should I even try again, well the answer is simple, what else is there to do?  I hope this helps someone today.  Be Blessed!
