We're a generation who majors in minors & minors in majors . We tend to blow the most inconsequential things all out of proportion turning molehills into mountains. We also tend to totally ignore the things in life that are most important. However, when we strive to see things from God's perspective, all of this begins to change. Everything in our lives gradually begins to take on a whole new light. That's why I stress walking in the light of God so much folks. In the light of God we begin to see everything in our lives as it really is, & not as we'd like to believe it is. Things that once seemed so important won't amount to a hill of beans in the light of God, & things we once ignored will suddenly be the most pressing things in our life. I truly believe we as believers are living far below our potential simply because we're not yielding to the influence of the new life God placed inside of us when we were born again. It's not a salvation issue folks. Being born again is. If we're not truly born again, we're not going to heaven. That's a fact. The problem is, the life more abundant Jesus promised us as believers can only be experienced when we begin to walk in the light of God, yielding to the influence of the new life on the inside of us. It's a choice we make one situation @ a time folks. I can choose to walk in the light of God, or I can choose to lean to my own understanding & react. The choice is mine; but the outcome is often far reaching. I may seem boring @ times because I'm so focussed; but the outcome is very important to me. I want to make sure the people I'm influencing in life are not only on their way to heaven, but experiencing the life more abundant Jesus promised us here.
2Co 5:17 Anyone who belongs to Christ is a new person. The past is forgotten, and everything is new.
It's a shame most believers don't operate by this principal. Most of the suffering I've endured as a believer has been @ the hands of believers who are judging me by my past in the present. We need to strive to see other believers through God's eyes folks. We need to see them the way He sees them, looking beyond all of their faults & failures to see their potential & helping them to live up to it.
Am I the only one who notices the indifference & complacency in the lives of many believers today? When I was director of a halfway house in Wichita, I would spend 30 minutes in an interview with each prospective client, & by the end of that half hour I'd know whether that person really wanted help or not. If not, then I sent him or her back out into the street until he or she was ready for help. What I'd do is get that person involved in an ordianary conversation; & when they relaxed they'd begin to talk about what really matters to them the most. It was rarely getting their lives back on course & headed in the right direction. In the course of an average day, what do you talk about the most? Ever notice that when you get around someone who's just fell in love that they talk about that girl or guy all the time? You can't get them to shut up. Are we like that about our relationship with God? If we loved God serving Him & doing the things He wants us to do wouldn't be the chore it is for most of us. Maybe we just need to start all over again & fall in love with the kingdom of God folks.
Sexiness isn't a suit of clothes. It's not a #10 body. It's an attitude. It's something that comes from inside a man or a woman that makes them stand out in a crowd. Anyone can be sexy if they want to. They just have to see themselves through God's eyes & believe in the person they see. Remember, God sees what we can be, not what we are. Our goal in life is to see the man or woman God sees in us & become that person. When someone is putting you down, you have 2 choices; you can become the person they believe you to be, or you can be the person God knows you to be, look them straight in the eye & tell them You don't deserve me. A woman recently told my youngest brother he should hope he's half as good looking as me when he grows up. I'm 55 & overweight, but I believe in myself. I'm striving to see myself through God's eyes every day of my life, & you should too. We put more faith in the failure we are than in the man or woman God knows us to be. I go through periods when I wallow in that BS. We all do; but we need to drag ourselves back up on our feet & see ourselves as the overcomers God knows us to be. The sexiest women I've ever known didn't have a brick house body, or a beautiful face. They just believed in themselves & didn't accept your opinion of them.
To Find out who I am in God's eyes, what I'm supposed to be in life, what I'm supposed to accomplish in this life, & strive to become the best me I can be. Pray for me to achieve my goals this year folks.

There's no connection between the average heart & the average ass. The average ass will straddle the same pew for 20 years, even getting fighting mad when some other ass is warming it's spot.The heart that belongs to that ass? It's probably a thousand miles away from the pew that ass is warming. I think it's time to get the average heart & the average ass together again. If your heart's not there, then get your ass out. When you get your ass where your heart is they'll be happy again. Let's declare this national get your ass where your heart is day folks.

If you're not walking in the light of God, you're in the dark about a lot of things
