If you set out on your day. And your first thought is always about the negative. If that seems to be your pattern or of the people around you. I want you to think about it.

If you turn on the news or talk radio or whatever it might be. Anything that is a source of information. It seems all you hear is people blaming one another. Going back and forth pointing fingers saying it's their fault. It's what they've done that has caused problems.

There is much that can distract you. There is always something in your view. But nothing should take your eyes from me. Romans 8:35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ

Mark 10:13-16Receive The Kingdom of God Like A Child

When You attack someone with the hopes of tearing them down. More times than not you end up tarnishing their reputation but yours as well. It seems unfortunately mudslinging is an expected part of the political landscape. This kind of behavior as always unbecoming.

The creator exists and he wants you to know him. Love him and communicate with him. Connect through prayer through meditation. And have a connection with God. Right now the world has your attention. And it can't help but weigh on your shoulders.

The word of God is something living and breathing. But is it something that you are to twist or contort to your particular view. To prove yourself right.

Life has it's share of ups and downs. You can't nerf or bubble wrap the world. It has sharp edges and you will feel them. If you get to the place where you think it's always the devil under every stone. You miss the fact when there really is spiritual warfare going on in your life.

Love is one of those things people throw around everywhere. Love is a powerful force when done in the attitude in which God has displayed through scripture. It is the glue that holds everything together. But the focus of God and the things that matter to God about love may not be what you think they are.

It's not what you have in life. It's how you obtained it that matters to God. And that seems to be less and less important.

In life there are fewer victims than volunteers. And it matters who you let into your life. Because it can be detrimental to the plan God has for you.

Having A Vision and A Path

Everyone Goes Through Trials

As you are home. Projects are adding up. You start being introspective. Looking at yourself and the world. There are a lot of problems in life.

Psalm 16:11It's very easy to look at your circumstances and get caught up in it. When you're in a world of turmoil, When you look deep into life. You will see that life is not only imperfect, but it's hard to find joy when there are intence trials put on you.

Empathy is at the root of Christanity. The very act of the death on the cross was empathy. Standing in for someone else. Taking the pain of someone else. The burdon of someone else. Is the very act on the cross.

There are so many words in scripture that are heard over and over during your walk of faith and your growth. That they become background noise.

So today is Fathers Day. How appropriate to talk about my foster father Joseph. Now you probably think of him as a carpenter. But have you ever thought of him as a action hero? When you hear acton hero you think of The Avengers. But I want you to think about the word that comes before hero. The word action.

Empathy is at the root of Christanity. The very act of the death on the cross was empathy. Standing in for someone else. Taking the pain of someone else. The burdon of someone else. Is the very act on the cross.
