Everything God is in is successful

Invite God into your life and affairs today – commit your way to Him. Trust also in Him and He will bring it to pass, He will make it good. Don’t ignore God, communicate with Him, talk with Him, and walk with Him.

As you talk to God He will talk to you. As you walk with God He will walk with you. Love God, because He first loved you and proved His love to you by sending Jesus to die for you. Remember, “everything God is in is successful” so make sure that the thing you are in God is in.

Everything God is in is successful. Allow Jesus to get involved in your daily life by becoming a daily worshipper of Him.

Letting it go!

“When you resent someone, they live rent-free in your head”
Anonymous

I don’t know who the anonymous person was who said this, but don’t you just love it? The word resent means “to feel or show displeasure or indignation at, from a sense of injury or insult, to take ill or feel resentment, to express or exhibit displeasure or indignation by words or acts.”

If we resent someone enough, this person will live rent-free in our head we will be wasting precious thought energy and time dwelling on past hurts this person may have caused us. In so doing we will carry this person around with us whereever we go. I don’t know about you but I can say that if I had to carry someone around all day, by the end of it I would be very tired. That is how it is if we allow resentment to dwell in our minds. We will become stressed and tired. We need to set them free by forgiving and in so doing we will free ourselves.

The Word says in Hebrews 12:15 “not to allow roots of bitterness to spring up in us, which only result in others in our lives being defiled.” We need to repent of and forsake any resentments feel towards others lest we eventually hurt ourselves as well.

“There’s no substitute for quality”

My wife and I have learned in life that there is no substitute for quality. Quality means “having a high degree of excellence, an inherent and distinguishing characteristic, essential character, superiority of a kind.”

We need to put quality into everything we do. My Dad always said, “If a job is worth doing it is worth doing properly.” In life we should look for quality – the old saying, “you get what you pay for” is sometimes true. The cheapest is not always the best, it may not last. Then again, the dearest is not always the best either.

Look for quality and at the same time put quality into everything you do. Spend quality time with your family. Give your work in life (your vocation) your best, put in your best effort. Give God your best, put quality into what you do. We only pass this way but once so let’s do our best.
