Real love is not an emotion, it is a word of action. I know  when we say that we have fallen in love, we are talking about how we feel. Well, what happens when we wake up one day and we don’t feel that way? Love is about a choice that we make regardless of how we feel. It’s all good when our emotions line up with the decision we’ve made to be with someone. But the Agape love takes no account of what the other does or even how it makes them feel, but only on doing what real love does. Keep this in mind also, Love is not a door mat!!

Scripture Reference:

I Corinthians 13:4-8(a)

Love suffers long, and is kind; love does not envy, love vaunts not itself, is not puffed up, does not behave itself unseemly, seeks not its own, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; rejoices not in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bares all things, believes all things, hopes for all things, endures all things.  Love never fails:

People are the most valuable asset in the universe. The problem with people is that we often do not recognize our own value. This causes us to conduct ourselves in such a way that does not reflect the value of our lives. Remember also that life is not a sprint,  but a long distance event. As you run your race, remember that you are priceless and that change takes time.

Legacy is defined as anything handed down from the past. Don’t be fooled, it is not just about things such as jewelry, cars, houses, and money. The legacy that you leave behind to your loved ones will also consist of a way of thinking, talking, responding, and doing. Yes, we should leave behind a good financial legacy, but if we don’t teach our children how to think, talk, respond, and do properly, then the money won’t really matter.

Scripture Reference:

Proverbs 13;22(a)

A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children:

Ecclesiastes 7:11-12

Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. For wisdom is a defense, and money is a defense: but the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to them that have it.

There is a fine line between preparing for the next step in life and taking some of the steps as you learn. We should always sharpen the ax before we start in on the tree. But here, we are talking about sharpening the ax while in the process of taking on the tree. I have come to find that the success I have experienced, has always been better when I was getting out there and starting with what information I had, and learning more as I went along. So in short, we may never know all we need to know in any given field, but we can definitely know more through the experience of doing as opposed to just gathering information.

To worry is to use your imagination in a way in which it was not designed. When we worry, we are using our ability to think creatively in reverse. The next time you face a situation that tries to get you to use your own creative power to paint a picture of an outcome you don’t desire, STOP!,  and force your mind to think thoughts that paint a picture of the outcome you do desire.

Scripture Reference:

Philippians 4:8

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

I definitely have been guilty of this one. I was reading about King Solomon the other day, and he used these words several times throughout the book of Ecclesiastes. The message is simple, but if we don’t stop for a minute to think about it, we will miss the point he is trying to make. Have you ever tried to reach out and grab the wind as it was blowing by? I know it sounds kind of silly, but after reading about this, I went out and tried to do it to better understand the message. It is literally impossibe to grab the wind. I know it’s there even though I can’t see it. I hear and I feel it on my face, but my efforts to take hold of it failed over and over again. It’s just like some of the things in life we go after. We spend so much time going after many things that we will eventaully find out will not do for us what we hoped they would. It’s like trying to grab the wind. It’s just never going to happen.

You know that in this world there are some very difficult people. I’m not talking about someone who has a bad day every once in a while. I’m talking about those that have a daily practice of spreading strife and chaos everywhere they go. Then you have those on our jobs or who refuse to carry their load and leave it up to others to do. Then you have the smile in your face stab you in the back group. The list goes on, but what I want to say today is this, we must not allow those that behave in such ways to cause us to become so agitated that we lose our own way. We must continue to conduct ourselves appropriately because others, especially those in authority over us are holding us to a higher standard. No, it’s not fair for them to appear to be getting away with their inappropriate behavior.  They aren’t, it will eventually catch up to them. Who we have chosen to be has nothing to do with them. We are to be the people we know we are  to be.

We live in a microwave society. Everyone wants to have success right now. Unfortunately, it just doesn’t work that way. Success is really kind of boring at times, because we have to do the same things over and over. Eventually, over time, we get good at what we are doing, and it starts to produce. If we can learn to relax and understand that waiting is all part of being successful, then the waiting won’t be as bad as we think.

Can we endure it. Most of us have no desire to do so. Pain has gotten a bad rap for a long time. So lets look at the word from a different angle. Many of us do not understand how pain helps us. Pain simply lets us know that something is not right. The pain we feel is really important to us. But sometimes, we get so focused on the pain that we miss the whole reason why the pain is present. Pain is a messenger that signifies that change is required.
