Purpose Of Life

"Life without purpose inevitably falls prey to the perversive ways of an uncommitted life." John Hoover - American Author

No direction? No goals? No purpose outside yourself? No greater good? No belief in God, the Holy One who created you? Without God perversion prevails. Turn the focus of your heart toward God. He has answers for all of life's issues. The Holy Bible is full of His plans for those that love, honor, follow and worship Him. Check out His plans. Why go about life with the taught of mediocrity and pity-partying while the Holy Scripture has assured as in Phillppians 4:6 " Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by Prayer and Petition, with Thanksgiving, present your Request to God."
In short, the writer Paul and Timothy are assuring as that, no matter the circumstances we find ourselves in,always know that God has your Best Interest at Heart and always willing to Bless You to the Glory of His Name.

Personal Growth.

Growth comes from activity. That is personal growth is measured by your daily output in your life, that of others.

Always take a thoughtful step. Especially when you feel stuck it becomes critical that some thoughtful step be taken. Never mind if you are not sure if the action is the right step or not. Judging the action could lead toward curtailing any action or take away the movement. Just take an action. Some step is better than no step. When you feel stuck in a place, step out and test the waters. Then make adjustments. In order to grow a person must be willing to risk.

GIVE FROM THY HEART.

"The heart that gives, gathers." Marianne Moore-American Poet (1887-1972)

Think of your favorite heart person. Do they tend to be a giver or a taker? That's a no brainer. Heart people are generally spontaneous givers and typically give to others with no expectation of something in return. Givers share their thoughts, their homes, their food, their possessions, their time and, most importantly, themselves.

They are well known for gathering the more important things in life; the intangible things, such as : sunshine, hope, trust, caring, kindness, faith and love among other attributes of a fruitful life. At what level are you gathering? Are you gathering the things in life that really count?
As you begin your day, be on the lookout for someone in need even if they don't deserve it, that's what it means to love unconditionally and give-out a helping hand.

VISION

"Personal vision is often a catalyst for a wise decision." Andy Stanley - Pastor and Author

Personal vision is often a catalyst for a wise decision. We all make choices daily and our small as well as big choices become the steering wheel of our lives. Some individuals are able to project the possible future effects of current decisions being made today and thus steer away from regrets. Some learn as they travel. But many people make the same mistake over and over again. Why is that?

Perhaps they fail to clarify their goals or to write down their goals and dreams or to see their role in past mistakes. They may not consider their current circumstances when making decisions that will impact their future. Having a future dream in one's heart and to be frequently reminded of it helps people avoid getting sidetracked and thus be more apt to maintain momentum on their path toward their future destination. Dream the dream that God has for your future; the one He planted in your heart as a child. 
Invite and include Him in your decision making path and always look for the wise decision in each choice you make . . . Even in the small decisions.

LET LOVE BE THE FOUNDATION.

"Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand." Mother Teresa - Missionary (1910-1997)

Love is within reach for everyone. Not all hands reach out to offer help. And not all hands in need of help ask. Some are timid. Some feel insecure. Some don't know how. Some hold to tightly to self.

Not everyone is willing to receive in all seasons or to give with a loving attitude in all seasons. But it only takes one hand to reach out. It only takes one heart to hurt for the needy, the downtrodden, the neglected or the lonely. Is someone waiting for your gentle hand? As Mother Teresa said "Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand." which means as Humans as we are, there are times people we have so much Faith and Trust in may deceive or bring your hard earned reputation into disrepute but nothing should stop us from showing Love to each other. For the Holy Bible states in Romans 5:8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Beloved, let us love one another,
for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.

What Did Jesus Say About Love?

Matthew 5:43-48 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your
enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have?

MY plea with you today is that no matter how a friend, a neighbors or a family member, even a co-worker might have hurt you, you MUST let go of that Hurt and continue to show that Unconditional Love our Heavenly Father shows Unto our Life's, if you don't let go of it know that you are the one person hurting yourself.

LET LOVE BE THE FOUNDATION, in all your Endeavour.

DOUBTFUL?

"Feed your faith and your doubts will starve to death." - Anonymous

Doubt brings us down and gets us off track. Doubt opens the door to usher in all forms of fear. If you want to minimize doubt and fear then make up your mind to reduce their food supply. Feed your mind each new-day with thoughts of success, that each day will be the best ever and let go of your shortfalls and get out of those pity party. So what kind of faith food helps to starve doubt to death and begin to feed our faith? Begin with the Word of God... For solid food try reading daily a a truly amazing book . . . read the Holy Bible, the inspired Word of God, a collection of texts written over 2000 years ago.

Fix your mind on things that are true, lovely and right. Fill your mind with stories of faith. Spend time in nature, with small children and the aged. Volunteer to help the less fortunate. In other words, give of yourself to Help others and show Love to those who don't even deserve it for God's Loves us Unconditionally so what stops us from showing Unconditional Love to thy Brethren? Feed others and be fed. But above all, Love your God with all your Heart, Soul, Mind and Strength.

KNOWLEDGE

"Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; common sense is not putting it in a fruit salad." Miles Kingston - British Journalist (1964-2008)

Building a strong foundation of knowledge is of great importance in order to be well rounded. Of greater value is having and using common sense and to know what to do with what you know for the good of all. For example, knowing when not to speak is as important as having the ability to express oneself and saying too much.

Common sense is not all that common among educated minds. Be grateful for each taste of common sense that you possess; you may have to share it with those less fortunate.

THE BIG NEWS TO FELLOW BELIEVERS.

The big news of the Holy Bible island not that you love God, but that God loves you; not that you can know God, but that God already knows you! That why The Holy Bible states emphatically clear that Jehovah knew the Dreams and Destiny He had Placed Inside You BEFORE you were even BORN.

God "tattooed" your name on the palm of his hand. You never leave his mind, escape his sight, flee his thoughts. He sees the worst of  you and loves you still why? because you are His Creation and a chef d'oeuvre of His Beautiful Creation and God has your Best Interest At Heart, don't go about Life with the thoughts of Defeat, Mediocrity, Pity Partying and Expecting God to bail you out! Dare to ask God because the Holy Scripture States in James 4:2 " You have not because You do not ask God" and take that Bold step Of Faith by Moving-out of your Secure zone and get into the Faith Zone and I can assure you God will entrust you with Your Divine Dreams and Destiny.

Your sins of tomorrow and failings of the future will not surprise him, he sees them now. Every day and deed of your life has passed before his eyes and been calculated in his decision. He knows you better than you know you and reached his verdict: He loves you still!

No discovery will disillusion him, no
rebellion will dissuade him. You need not win his love. You already have it. And since you can’t win it, you can’t lose it! He loves you with an everlasting love! 

GOOD DAY OR BAD DAY?

"The only difference between a good day and a bad day is your attitude." Dennis S. Brown.

We all have days where everything we attempt to do seems to go wrong. Yet how we view those events determines our next steps.
And our next steps can set off a chain reaction that may continue the negative theme or change the outlook to an opportunity. Those steps are often directed by our attitude or thoughts. Our attitude stems from self talk. What does your self talk look like? Does it tend to lean toward the negative path? Avoid perpetuating the negative theme. Turn the negative self talk into positive and productive talk giving less attention to the negative. Give more emphasis to the positive and your attitude will begin to change its focus as well. That good day is just an attitude away.

CHALLENGE YOURSELF!

"Challenge yourself with something you know you could never do, and what you'll find is that you can overcome anything."

Overcoming exhilarates an individual. What is something that you tell yourself you cannot do . . . run a mile, lose weight, draw or paint, dance gracefully, or speak to an audience? Stretch yourself by trying something new that is outside your comfort zone.

New interests can be sparked, interesting acquaintances can be made, unique sites visited. Or who knows what discovery awaits you around the corner! The embracing of a new, yet worthy experience may trigger a desire to explore. Be fascinated with life; grow in strength of character and enjoy the newness of life everyday.
