Are You A Peacemaker?

Are You A Peacemaker?

When things around you are falling apart,

And someone needs to take charge and

"Hold it all together", Are you

one who steps up and becomes a peacemaker?

OR are you one of the instigators?

Sometimes we think we are one

when we are actually the other.

Consider where you stand.

 

Matthew 5:9

Blessed are the peacemakers

for they shall be called

the children of God.

 

In God We Trust.

Are you a light?

Are you a light?

How brightly does your light burn?

Ask yourself these questions

 every morning this week.

What is my light?

Do I share my light or do I hide it?

what can I do to let my light shine more?

After you answer them every day for a week

I think you will see a difference in your life

and those around you.

 

Matthew 5:14

Ye are the light of the world,

A city that is on a hill

can not be hidden.

 

In God We Trust.

AngelOfMercy

Choose your own path

Choose your own path,

And choose one of light

Don't let others

choose it for you.

For they may not be

able to see your light.

Choose the Path that

Best suits you,

and not the others

you may be trying to please.

They do not have to

live your life.

BUT YOU DO!

 

John 12:35

Yet a little while is the light with you.

Walk while ye  have the light,

lest darkness come upon you:

For the that walketh in darkness

knoweth not whither he goeth.

 

In God We Trust.

Whatever you choose to do today WILL come back to you in the future. Be it good or evil, it will come back.

Ecclesiastes 11:1

Cast thy bread upon the waters for thou shalt find it after many days.

Let your Light Shine

Let your Light Shine

Do you often hide your capabilities

to avoid having to do things?

Do you not want others to know

all the things you are capable of doing? 

Sometimes it helps us, to help others.

Sometimes it helps us more than it does them.

Matthew 5:16

Neither do men light a candle,

and put it under a bushel,

but on a candlestick;

and it giveth  light unto

all that are in the house

In God We Trust.

The Voice of a Stranger

The Voice of a Stranger

 

Follow someone you know

Or know a lot about and

Choose whom you follow

carefully, for we are often

found "guilty by association"

 

John 10:15

And a stranger will they not

Follow but will flee from him:

for they know not the voice of a stranger.

 

In God We Trust.

AngelOfMercy

Do you have trouble admitting

Do you have trouble admitting

when you are wrong?

 

It is a difficult thing to do

but it gets easier with practice.

Work on saying,

"It is my fault, I was wrong,

and  I am sorry."

People appreciate honesty.

And you will earn their respect.

They already know  anyway.

 

Psalm 51:3

For I acknowledge my

transgressions: and my

sin is ever before me

 

In God We Trust.

AngelOfMercy

There is a song that says

There is a song that says

"Stand still and let God move"

Sometimes we need to stop and

just take in our surroundings,

Become aware of all that is.

Get to know our environment.

Be still and listen, absorb,

learn,feel,and become a part of it.

There is more to everything than

first appears, if we take the time

to know, see, feel, hear, and

experience our surroundings.

 

Psalm 46:10

Be still and know that I am God:

 

 

In God We Trust.

Be Somebody Else

Be Somebody Else

 

Do you set forth to do good

and help those around you?

Or do you say let

"Somebody Else" do it?

Sometimes, "Somebody Else"

never comes along.

Sometimes you are

"Somebody Else".

 

Matthew 5:16

Let your light so shine

before men, that they

may see your good works,

and glorify your father

which is in Heaven.

 

In God We Trust.

Jealousy

Jealousy

 

The word Covet means

to desire wrongfully, inordinately,

or without due regard for the rights

of others. Jealousy of another's

possessions is how  I would say it.

Jealousy is a bitter thing to harbor.

Let it go, You are only hurting yourself.

You will feel better after you

learn to let it go forever.

 

James 3:18

For where envying and strife is,

there is confusion and every evil work.

 

In God We Trust.

AngelOfMercy

Find Your Passion

 

When you choose to be a part of something,

Find something bigger than yourself.

Find something with meaning, and purpose.

And learn all you can about it, become an expert.

Give it your all. Make it something you can have

a passion for, and fall in love with it.

Why would you half way do anything anyway?

 

John 8:47

He that is of God heareth God's words;

Ye therefore hear them not,

because ye are not of God.

 

In God We Trust.

AngelOfMercy

"Work of Heart"

"Work of Heart"

 

Whenever you do things for others,

Do them from the heart.

Do not do them out of obligation.

People can tell if you really mean it or not.

Do your good deeds, with sincerity, and

make them a "Work of Heart"

 

1 John 3:18

 

My little children,

let us not love in word,

neither in tongue;

but in deed and in truth.

 

 

In God We Trust.

Make Your Words Have Meaning

Make Your Words Have Meaning

 

Have you ever met one of those people

who can talk all day and never really

say anything?They are very entertaining

and fun to be around. But they never

gain any ground. Idle chatter is OK

once in a while, but don't make it a way

of life. Make your words have meaning.

 

 Acts 4:20

For we can not speak

the things which we

have seen and heard

 

In God We Trust.

AngelOfMercy

How Firmly Do You Stand?

How Firmly Do You Stand?

 

When you believe in something, anything,

stand firmly on that. Do not waffle

back and forth and be "wishy-washy".

 If you do not believe in something

strongly enough to make a stand,

don't get involved in it. 

Find something you do believe in.

"You've got to stand for something,

or you'll fall for anything."

 

Psalm 31:6

And in my prosperity I said,

I shall not be moved.

 

In God We Trust.

Be Still and Listen

Be Still and Listen

 

Sometimes the old saying

"silence is golden"

really seems to ring true...

...doesn't it?

 

Psalm 46:10

 

Be Still and know that I am God.

 

In God We Trust.
