Why Is It?

Sometimes we wonder why it's so easy for people to discuss politics; but when it comes to sharing their views on salvation and eternal life, everyone seems to want to fight ... Whoever is near or far can hear when siblings and friends become enemies; nonetheless what so many people forget  that God's in control of everything ...

All in all, we believe in praying, sitting still and allowing the Holy Spirit to help all those concerned deliberate on this ...

Titus 3:9 ~ But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless.

The moral for this post is ...

Matthew 28:18 ~ And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

Your Interpretation Is?

Give us your interpretation on the concept of Joy? Is it centered around all the material items in your home? Can you purchase as much as you need or desire at the corner store? Or could it be the price Jesus Christ paid before and after you allowed him into your life?

Now, we're going to be bias and let you can come to your own conclusions; however deep down inside you know that  counterfeit kind of Joy isn't what your seeking. Here are two definitions regarding the word Joy. You decide which interpretation you'll stand by:

1. The Merriam~Webster Dictionary says this about the word JOY ... It's an emotion evoked by well-being, success, or good fortune or by the prospect of possessing what one desires.
2. This is what the Bible states on behalf of the word JOY ...

Psalm 16:9 ~ And so my heart is glad. My soul is full of joy. My body also will rest without fear.

It's Unconventional

We've chat with so many Christians over the years, that tend to believe that the best way to avoid problems is by looking the other way or running away; however our Pastoral experience has taught us this:

1. In the most bizarre places and with the most unlikely people, God can Bless you ...  

2. Hypothetically speaking, sometimes it has to rain cats and dogs before the Lord opens the  NEW doors ...

Thus, don't lose your mind and rejoice in this instead ... 

1 Thessalonians 5:24 ~ He who calls you is Faithful; he will surely do it.

TIME

TIME can feel like an elevator ride in a person's life; because it lifts you up when you need it or tears you down like a wrecking ball when you least expect it ... Its also valid to say that time heals old wounds or harden a person's heart. Of course, everyone has their own story to tell and/or drama to live; but listen to this, if it weren't for JESUS CHRIST. The King of ALL things in our life's we'd be singing to a different tune right now ...  

We were blind and now we can clearly see what the Lord has destined for our lifes ... For we were also once lost and now we're found ... That's why whatever goes in our life, we MUST do this every moment we get ...

Psalm 118:24 ~This is the day that the Lord has made;
    let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Actions > Words

LORD, may our Actions say more than our Words so that we may leave a positive mark in the minds and hearts of others ... We communicate this thought to all of you because every little boy needs a Super Hero to look up to and every Princess longs for a loving confidante to discuss girly stuff.

Most of all, every adult that's made a few lapses in their life's needs to meet someone to testify about what Jesus Christ is capable of doing for them. Now for all of you that don't know, our source of fortitude is named Jesus Christ, the Great ... I Am! According to the word of God, we know it to be true and that's why we'll NEVER stop telling  people this ...

 Deuteronomy 31:8 ~ It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.

BLESSINGS,

Just Say ... Bye Bye

Release those pessimistic thoughts and people that won't allow you to reach your full potential! Now we're not saying that you should stop being their friends or Praying for them; nonetheless you should set boundaries between you and negative minded people that constantly feel the need to throw you a pity party instead of celebrating your strengthens. Say bye bye or until further notice to them; because you want to hop on the positive train and you don't need any excess baggage  ...

I'm making emphasis on this because people that call you over so that they can personally tear down your dreams or put the brakes on you enjoying that sweet slice of cake ... I'm using cake as a metaphor for something sweet and great that's about to transform your life in an AWESOME way ... In conclusion, when someone attempts to dim the lights on your blissful life or waste your time reliving your past mistakes, remind them of what the Bible says ...

2 Corinthians 5:1 ~ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

BLESSINGS,
