Wow...did this one hit home. I am empty on the inside and faking it on the outside. Why, oh why, do we make life so complicated. It is because we are in the wrong kingdom. I was reading some of Courtney Baker's blogs...wow to just put it all out there for the whole world to see. Amazing! I want to be that honest...that expressive with my feelings.
I need to look at the face of Jesus so I don't see all the darkness. To focus on what really matters and stop getting caught up with what doesn't. Only then will I gain the riches that Jesus has for me.
I've had a really rough week this week. I don't have any real reason at all. I kind of feel like a fish just flapping on the shore. I have been so anxious and as Mark keeps calling me "crabby" ;) Stop worrying about what is/isn't and spend time with the Father so you can really experience life. Find joy in the things that are all around you! I promise you when you spend more time in God's kingdom...you might just find yourself rich in spirit (and maybe even out of debt in this kingdom ;) Re-frame the way you are looking at things! Take the time to be grateful for all you have...and give God all the Praise!

The ABCs of Love
Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all transgression. Proverbs 10:12
I accept you as you are.
I believe you are valuable.
I care when you hurt.
I desire only what is best for you.
I erase all offenses.
Sure wish I loved in that way. This is how Jesus loves us....this is how we must love one another...when you love, you don't see sin. Sure is powerful! I want to love others and myself as Jesus loves us. His love is with us always. To go back to yesterday...to succeed would be to love others in the way that Christ loves us. To be wise with our judgement and not judge! Real love does have "staying power". It is so easy to walk away from people/circumstances but to stick with it no matter what, is real love/authentic love. That is so important to remember! Life is hard but if I can keep my focus on Jesus and loving others...that is what will make a difference!
