Share the joy.
“Then they said to each other, “We’re not doing right. This is the day of good news and we are keeping it to ourselves…”
2 Kings 7:9
Share the joys of your life, share the goodness of God in your life… share the magic - the world needs to hear it. The world needs to know that prayers, hopes, and dreams do come true. Therefore, share the joy, my friends, it's good, it brings forth light, and most of all, when we share the joy, our God is magnified.

Heartache and sorrow
"...But God does not take away life; instead, he devises ways so that a banished person may not remain estranged from him."
2 Samuel 14
Though your heart breaks with sorrow and hurt, please know that God does not take away life; the world, (sickness and disease), does. Our God is the giver of life, and when our loved one is taken away from us, we must hold tight to this: God takes our loved ones out of this fallen world, brings them to himself, and gives them a life full of light, full of health, full of joy, peace, and gladness. Yes, God takes our loved ones from us for right now, but one day we will be together with them in a heaven that gives true LIFE and true LOVE; a heaven that wipes away all of our tears and all of our sorrows.

The Lord witnesses it all
"... remember, the Lord is witness between you and me forever."
1 Samuel 20:23
When you give your word to another, with or without a written agreement, remember, God knows! He hears, he sees. So, when you give your word make sure it is honest, real, and life-filled, for judgment day will come, and you can rest assure that you will be held accountable for every word you've ever spoken.

Honest and accurate
”You must have accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you. For the Lord your God detests anyone who does these things, anyone who deals dishonestly.”
Deuteronomy 25:15
Accurate and honest! ~ Anything less is not only dishonoring to yourself, but it is detested by the Lord. Therefore, be real, be true, be honest, be accurate, and, in turn, be blessed.

If God says it then it is true.
"You are the salt of the earth...
you are the light of the world..."
Matthew 5:13
If God says this about you, then it is true. You shine, you illuminate beauty, grace, and light, so show it off and
BE YOU!

Cheer
“Be cheerful no matter what; pray all the time; thank God no matter what happens. This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live.”
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 MSG
Jesus lived this way for us through the wickedest and most foul circumstances so there is no reason we cannot do the same for him. Therefore, take heed to this verse today and know that if you do, you will come to know the way of true living – true freedom– true life; yes, this is the way to the one and only,
True Jesus.

Don't let fear of the world stop you!
"Despite their fear of the peoples around them, they built the altar on its foundation..."
Ezra 3:3
Thoughts and fears constantly surround us, however, let them not be the deciding factor in our goals and dreams. Friends, if we feel the nudge from God, then we must go for it without looking back and knowing that we know this: God is clearing the path for us, making a way for our dreams and goals to come true!!
Praise be to God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Challenges
Challenges – face them or run?
Run?
No WAY!!
In a challenging situation, don’t turn and run – face it head on repeating these words I’ve taken from God’s Word, James, Chapter 1:
Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you. Under pressure, your faith life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. Don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. If you don’t know what you are doing, pray. God loves to help and he won’t condescend you when you do ask. So, ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. And remember, anyone who meets a testing challenge head-on and manages to stick with it is mighty fortunate. For such persons loyally in love with God is rewarded with life and more life.

Holy and pleasing
“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer you bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God – this is your true and proper worship.”
Romans 12:1 (NIV)
Lift your head, arms, heart, mind, body and spirit to the Lord - give him every part of you so that he can take the lead and give you every part of him!
God Bless

Building your temple from within.
“Yes, [you are building a temple of the Lord, but] it is He who shall build the [true temple of the Lord…]…” Zechariah 6:13
Although this verse refers to the rebuilding of the Lord’s temple in the Old Testament, I think there is another way we can look at it: Many of us work so hard at building our outer life, however, if we don’t have God, then we have no 'true' foundation to build upon. So, when one gets to the top of where they want to be, and then crash, they lie there wondering where they went wrong.
To me, I think the majority of failures are because actions are undertaken without seeking God first. Yes, it is important to work at obtaining our goals on the outside, but it is more important to seek God first within and let Him direct us as how to obtain them; let Him guide us and form us on the inside.
Therefore, before taking on any project, obtaining any goal, or making a major life decision, make sure to seek God first; with Him all things are possible, obtainable, and solid. However, without Him, all things are still possible and obtainable, but very fragile and weak, and will soon collapse at the first sign of trouble!!

Think on these things...
Whatever is true, worthy of reverence and
honorable, just, pure, lovely and lovable, kind, winsome and gracious,
if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of
praise, think on and weigh and take account of these
things - fix your minds on them. Adapted from Philippians 4:8
Do your thoughts fall in line with this verse? If
not, and I know some of mine don’t, then new thoughts are in order! I truly
believe that if we can change our thoughts for
the better, not only will we help ourselves, but we will help many of
those around us. So, keep your thoughts in line with this verse, not
only will your life change for the better, but the lives of those around you will as well.

Words and deeds.
“… It’s who you are, not what you say and do, that counts. Your true being brims over into true words and deeds.” Luke 6:43-45 MSG
What do your words and deeds say about you? Think about this question, and think about it whole-heartedly, there just may be some heart and mouth changes that need to take place... yes?

Guidance from God
Words of God’s wisdom from Luke 6, MSG:
“… Your task is to be true, not popular.” (26)
“… Love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst.” (27-30)
“… Don’t condemn… be easy on people…” (37-38)
“… Give away your life; you'll find life given back, but not merely given back—given back with bonus and blessing. … Giving, not getting, is the way…” (37-38)
______________________________________
Maybe one of these grabs your attention more than the others – focus on it. Ask God, pray, and let him do the changing within you.

A righteous and just life
God's word says that when we repent from our sins and start living, "a righteous and just life - being generous to the down and out, restoring what we have stolen, cultivating life-nourishing ways that don't hurt others -...", we will live! (Jer. 33:14-16 MSG). So, figure out how you are living right now, change your ways if you must, and live a true life, living all your days out enjoying this amazing life that God has given you.

Always follow the way of righteousness
"This person who lives upright and well shall live a full and true life.
So turn around! Turn your backs on rebellious living so that sin won't drag you down. Clean house... Get a new heart! Get a new spirit!... Make a clean break! Live!" Ezekiel 18:8-9, 30-32 MSG
Choose to live; choose righteousness over sin... the benefits are eternal and the consequences are blessed.
