Plate Full of Pride

It doesn't cost us anything to be kind to each other. I think one of the main things that stops us from treating people the way Christ treats us is Pride. Even when we know the other person is wrong, or being rude, negative and nasty, we have to think about the bigger picture. And that is that we must follow the example of Christ. He could have easily wiped out his enemies, caused them pain or anything, but He still Loved them and treated them with compassion and kindness.

We have a plate full of pride, but we refuse to swallow it. Digest it and turn it into Positive Pride, where we can say we're proud of ourselves for the way we handled the situation. What's more, God will be proud of us for letting our lights shine and becoming the bigger people! It seems too hard for us to forgive people because of our (negative) pride, but we will feel so much better when we just let go and say, "it is well with my soul."

Free Friday!

If we can't love without excuses, without being ourselves, without judgement and without trust, then we aren't loving freely. We need to find unapologetic love; the love where we can be ourselves; the love where we can just be...FREE.

Happy Free Friday Loves!

Trust God!

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;

In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

This is one of my favorite scriptures because it reminds us that we have to trust God for everything, especially the things that we don't understand. When things don't make sense to us, we simply need to acknowledge our God, whom is all-knowing, and let Him guide us. Even in our darkest hours, the Word of God is a lamp to our feet And a light to our path. We're not as smart as we think we are, so let's change our mind and trust His mind and His plan. Amen? Amen!

(Sharing) Beyond Sunday: Content in All Things

I just read an email from "Beyond Sunday," which expands on Philippians 4:12-13

Please read below, I think you'll enjoy it!

Classic Commentary
It is evident that he had been in need; but it was the occasion of more entire trust in God. We can easily gather this from his language; but, he delicately adds, he would not, by saying that [the church at Philippi's] care of him had now at last flourished again, imply that they had forgotten him. The care for him was in their hearts; but they had not had the opportunity of giving expression to their love.

Neither did he speak in regard of want; he had learnt-for it is practical experience and its blessed result we find here-to be content under all circumstances, and thus to depend on no one. He knew how to be abased: he knew how to abound; in every way he was instructed both to be full and to be hungry, to be in abundance and to suffer want. He could do all things through Him who strengthened him. Sweet and precious experience! not only because it gives ability to meet all circumstances, which is of great price, but because the Lord is known, the constant, faithful, mighty friend of the heart.

It is not 'I can do all things,' but "I can do all through him who strengthens me." It is a strength which continually flows from a relationship with Christ, a connection with Him maintained in the heart. Neither is it only 'One can do all things.' This is true; but Paul had learned it practically. He knew what he could be assured of and reckon on-what ground he stood on. Christ had always been faithful to him, had brought him through so many difficulties and through so many seasons of prosperity, that he had learned to trust in Him, and not in circumstances. And Christ was the same ever.


A Thought to Keep:
Christ gives us the strength to be content in any and every circumstance. This isn't carte blanche power to conquer every problem the world throws our way, but a gentle promise of God's sustaining presence no matter those problems.

Stronger!!!!!

Psalm 105:24 - He increased His people greatly, And made them stronger than their enemies.

Don't worry about your enemies, haters, nay-sayers, etc.; God has raised us up to be stronger than them, as well as stronger than our situations! Let's look inward (ourselves) and upward (to God) for strength and stop relying so heavily on others to build us up, or even fight battles for us. We can and will do it!!
