If everything else is ok in your life except your love life, you need to proactively fix it. If your love life is your source of stress, you are not in love, you are in trouble. Are you in love or are you in trouble? Love according to our text today must give you delight and pleasure. I wish you this type of love!
If you have no goal, enjoy life. Do not miss both the goal and the happiness in life. For a worthy goal, deprive yourself of enjoyment and you will make it. For a poor goal or no goal, abandon that quest and enjoy life. May God help us to make wise decisions, as we ask ourselves this pertinent question, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
Fix your gaze on your relationships. Fix your gaze on saving and investment. Anything and everything works if we fix our gaze. The problem is that we quickly and easily get distracted.
Our thoughts can create a reality that doesn’t exist. A disease can get worse just because of your thoughts. A small negligible situation can become gigantic because of our thoughts. A small negligible comment or post by a perceived opponent can become a thesis against your life, yet in reality, it is not.
The world wonders, where will we get money? The believers respond by praying, dear God provides us with some money. Where the world wonders, the believers pray to God.
The truth remains to be the truth even if no one supported it. The truth doesn’t have to have a good logical argument. If God who can heal, allows a loved to one die after you have prayed without ceasing, would you still praise Him and worship Him? If you are desperate about something but the more you pray the worse it gets and eventually it fails to work out, would you still love God?
When you go in anger to your child’s school, to defend your child, why not gather some evidence first, before your show of anger becomes your most embarrassing moment? Why not seek clarification about the statement made, the email, the text, etc? Why rush to a conclusion and end up embarrassing yourself? When the truth becomes clear to you, it may be too little too late to apologize albeit profusely. Even if everything is obvious, gather the evidence first. Do you have the evidence?
Love..KEEPS NO RECORDS OF WRONGS. Church attendance counts if you can’t count. Tithe and offerings count if you can’t count. Trying and trying again to have a good marriage counts if you can’t count. Acts of kindness count if you can’t count. It only counts if you can’t count. May God help us to know how to conduct ourselves so that what counts doesn’t count, in Jesus’s name, Amen!
Avoiding distractions can easily become a distraction. We should remain focused on the desired goal. We can be so busy avoiding distractions, that avoiding distractions becomes a distraction. You can be so organized until you achieve nothing except organization. You can keep time so well and do nothing after that. You can dress so well and yet you are not ready for the function. To achieve anything avoid distractions!
