No Excuses

Today is a day of "No Excuses"
Get up! Yesterday only can stop you or slow you down if your mind is still on yesterday.
No matter if you failed or succeeded yesterday, today is a new day.

If you experienced failure yesterday, learn from your mistakes and keep going.
If you succeeded yesterday, then use what you've learned and add it to your knowledge today.

Excuses get you nowhere because are conditions that keep you in prison.
First starting in your mind, which determines how you feel, and eventually comes out of your mouth, that ultimately is displayed in your actions.

If you think you can't do a certain thing, you will eventually feel like you can't do it. Then you will say that you can't do it, finally, that will be displayed in your actions because you believe that you can't,  you won't do  anything.

Remember the little engine that could?
He said I think I can, I think I can.
Dreams are only lived out by those who refuse to make excuses.
It's time to rise up to the challenges of a new day, without making excuses.

Every Decision

Every decision you make has eternal weight and value to either build of destroy that which is already built.

God says "whosoever comes to me and hears these sayings of mine, I'll show you who he's like."

He is like a man who built his house and dug deep and laid the foundation on a rock, and when the floods arose and the stream beat on the house, it could not shake it;

for that house was built on a rock.

Now everyday that we wake up to see the beauty of God's creation, God gave everyone of us this option:

a choice, to do what His word says or to do what we think is right.

Only one decision will stand.

What is the foundation of your house (life) built upon?

God is A Relational God

God is a relational God. 
It is important that we know that today.
Again, I say, God is a relational God.
In John chapter 4 there is a beautiful picture painted for us 
about the power of relationships. The chapter began to explain 
that Jesus had need to go through Samaria, to draw water. There He
met a Samarian woman at Jacob's well, and He asked her for a drink.
She responded by saying "why did you ask me for a drink, you know 
Jews and Samarian's don't deal with each other." Jesus answered back saying,
"If you knew the gift of God, and who asked you for a drink, you would've asked me and I
would've given you living water." The point is, you never know who God will allow you to come in 
contact with and how much of a blessing they could be in your life, if you would just allow those
different walls to be torn down in your life that you use to judge people by. Love your 
neighbor as yourself, because you never know who may be sent by God. 

PEACE

PEACE.
Everyone wants it, yet so few have it.
PEACE.
Comfort, security, rest, and ease.
Everyone needs it, yet so few have it.
And the reason people don't have it is because they're trying to find it in something, or somewhere, when peace can only be found in someone; Jesus.
Know Jesus, and Know PEACE.
NO Jesus, and No PEACE.

 The word peace actually means oneness with God.
 And oneness with God is only accomplished in relationship with God.
See, sin separated us from God; Jesus came and paid the price through His death for our sin.
Now the way has been made though Jesus that we can be forgiven.
And the way has been made for us to start a relationship with God.
We have peace with God, when we are on His side, and you can either be for God or against Him.
You have peace with God when you're forgiven, innocent, and guiltless,
God forgave you if you asked Him, so now, forgive yourself.
You have the rest when you are no longer living outside the will of God,
You can have rest assured and be at ease.

Peace also brings security, the security that says I'm taken care of.
God says, "Take no thought on what you shall eat, drink, or what you shall wear.
For your heavenly Father is concerned and will take care of all of that.
And peace Brings comfort,because when you have Him, there's nothing to worry about.
Trust Him,pray, don't lean to your familiar understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge Him;
and He will direct your path.

We all need peace, but peace is a direct result of your love life.
For if you believe God loves you, then you trust HIm, and if you trust Him, this will bring you peace.
And peace brings comfort,security, rest and ease.
Know Jesus and Know Peace.

NO JESUS AND NO PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!

  

School of Life Freshman Edition: We need each other

School of Life Freshman Edition: We need each other: "We need each other, for we came into this world dependent and if we live out the duration of our lives, we will most certainly be dependent ..."

We need each other

We need each other,
for we came into this world dependent and if we live out the duration of our lives, we will most certainly be dependent on someone before we leave this earth.

We all need help.
Everyone, everybody, every person.
It doesn't matter if you're white, black, red, yellow, brown, or green;
It doesn't matter if you're a man, woman, girl, or boy;
It doesn't matter if you're big, small. tall, or short.
We all need help.

Even animals need help. God's entire creation is dependent upon one another, and so often because of past hurt, we feel like, even if I wanted to help, it wouldn't make much of a difference.
But the reason we all need help is because we all need love, and you would be surprise how creative you can become if you would just attempt to help someone.

Sometimes we have the tendency to think that, why go out of my way to help someone when I need help myself, not realizing that help is in the principle: whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap. See, if you help someone in their time of need, you're putting yourself in their shoes to help them in the way that you would want to be helped. So when you're in a bind, you will receive the help that you need in your time of need.

So always remember, everyone needs help and you can be the one to give it, even today.

Time

Have you ever heard the saying, "time is valuable?" Well, that saying has a lot of truth to it. You see, what ever you give your time to, that is an outward expression to what you value. What ever you give the most time to, that's what you value the most. The funny thing about time is, there never seems to be enough of it and even in this world of convenience, every thing demands time, my time. 

So with time there comes sacrifice, because I can only diss-out my time to what I truly value. But is that true? In this world we live in we are taught that time isn't that valuable and we can just throw it away doing things that aren't really important. How much time have you wasted on things like entertainment, window shopping, arguing, talking on the phone about nothing, or sleeping? 

When we could of spent our time with God, learning about Him gaining a better understanding of His will for your life, we spent it on something we won't even remember next week. We could've spent time with our family and friends building  strong relationships, and even used our time investing what God has taught and produced in us to those around us by showing them love.

 We only have one life, and TIME is one of the most important assets, not to be paid back, but spent on something valuable.
