How do you see things?
Jesus taught that if our eye, or the way we see things, is healthy, then our life can be filled with happiness. But if the way we see things, if our outlook or mindset is messed up, there is no end to how dark our life can be.

Be ALL you SHOULD Be | Part 4: UNDEFEATED, UNBOWED, UNDIMINISHED
Like Jeremiah, let us choose God’s way instead of the way of the world and in the end, we too will be Undefeated, Unbowed and Undiminished.
Loneliness can be Left Alone
Laugh, and the LORD laughs with you;
Weep, for you’re not alone.
For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth,
But you can have the joy from God’s throne.
Where is Your Heart?

Be ALL you SHOULD Be | Part 3: BRASEN WALLS
…Real wealth is not found in the accumulation of the things that men say are valuable. We become truly wealthy when God… declares us valuable to Him because He can use us in His Kingdom. Don’t let the blessings become more important than the Blesser.

Man has always measured success by material (financial) security and social standing. So, the means to acquire these attributes have always been highly prized. God, however, measures success by spiritual security (salvation) and spiritual standing (righteousness), which are obtained not by human wisdom/knowledge but by faith and obedience.
Your word vs. God’s WORD

You say, “I’m too tired.”… God says, “I will give you rest.”
You say, “Nobody really loves me.”… God says, “I love you.”
Get your IN-Right to be Downright Upright
It is quite revealing to compare how much time, effort and money we spend on our outward appearance versus our heart (inward appearance). Think of how much is spent each day on preparing clothes, hair, skin, diet and physique. So much time, so much effort, so much money spent just to look good enough for those around us. How does it compare to the time and effort spent in preparing our hearts for God?
The Parable of the Talents: “We are NOT saved by works, BUT we are saved to do works”
Salvation is NOT gained by works.. But works testify that salvation HAS taken place… “Faith without works is dead”.
