We Are Being Transformed
Trials and temptations will come and our faith will be tested…God can use these times to transform us into something new. Take a look at James 1:2-18 for more about this.
“Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.”
James 1:12

Attitudes And Behaviors
Attitude
by Charles Swindoll
“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company…a church…a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past…we cannot change that people will act a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude…I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me, and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you…we are in charge of our Attitudes.”
“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…”
Romans 12:2

Listen
I sense a need for less talking and more listening. Choose whatever way you can best connect with God by listening. For me, of course, I listen to music that has been created by Christian artists that God has blessed with talent to share the Good News. For a period of time, not sure how long, I will be talking less and sharing messages through God’s Word and song and gathering new photos. May the peace and comfort of the Lord be with you. Amen.
He gives us strength…He gives us courage…His is the voice of truth.
Voice Of Truth by Casting Crowns
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

Alive With Christ
All people are unique and different in some way. Yet all of us suffer from similar temptations and the sinful nature. We are sinners because of things we do and the things we do not do. Because of God’s love, God’s mercy and God’s grace we have been saved and we can become a new creation that is alive with Christ. He took upon Himself the punishment we all deserve and He did this because of His love for each of us. Nothing and no one on earth can do what Jesus Christ has done for us. Amen.
“But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions – it is by grace you have been saved.”
Ephesians 2:4-5

Give Glory To God
We do not live for ourselves…we were created by God with a purpose…our lives are not about us. Selfishness and selfish behavior are poison in the world…they are harmful to us and to others. Give and it will be given to you…seek and you will find what you are looking for…Take time reflect on what God has done and is doing in your life, give thanks and give glory to God. Amen.
“Not to us, O Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.”
Psalm 115:1
