Don't You Want More?

You should always want MORE. That's what my mom taught me. Want MORE. More out of life. More out of yourself. Don't ever just settle. Don't just accept what is given to you; make MORE.

More wisdom. More time with God. More time in prayer.

Don't you want MORE?

God has always taught me the most about life when I'm not expecting it. It kind of creeps up on you like the cold chill of air between Fall and Winter.

Don't be apathetic; be excited! Apply His truth in your life and be amazed at the simplicity of it. God gives us His best; why degrade that by giving Him less than that?

After all, think about it,
He's ALIVE and I'm forgiven; Heaven's gates are open wide. He's ALIVE!

Is That Your Character I See?

Proverbs 20: 11 Even a child is known by his deeds, Whether what he does is pure and right.

Character...tough to develop; easy to escape; even quicker to ruin. Remember your behavior must be in sync with what Jesus has taught you. You must act with honor and integrity, be truthful in all circumstances...take the little steps and they will guide your long strides in the bigger issues.

Read the Book. It's all in there! God tells us: you don't cheat on exams, or taxes or your spouse. You don't lie...not to your boss, your friends or your kids. You follow the Golden Rule; treat others as you want to be treated.

Be kind to one another. Respectful of all life and, especially, courteous of your elders.

I have learned that you can tell a lot more about a person's character by the way he acts when he thinks no one is watching. Of course, when you are a believer then you know that God is watching over you all the time. Act accordingly. You should behave in a manner that would make God proud. Be pleasing to him in all ways.

Take note: The integrity of the upright will guide them, but the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them. Proverbs 11:3
