Decisions

(web photo)
Thank you to all those people who visit my blog. I am inspired by your visitation that I will continue to try and write as much as I can. I do a little bit of reading so that seemed to help a lot. I feel a bit low but I thought of my blog and decided to put my head up again and carry on in a very positive manner. If you are going through some hardship, be encouraged God is with you
Life is full of surprises and we are constantly making choices. Our preferences reveal who we are and what we value in life. Our life is the sum total of the decisions we make every day. We have become what we have decided for the last fifteen or twenty years of our life.
What is even more significant is that we can tell the kind of life we’re going to have in future by the decisions we are making today. In this sense the future is really now. Sometimes we think that we can make bad choices today and make up for them later on. That thinking is in error. Whatever we are doing now is our tomorrow.
That is why “yes” and “no” are the most powerful words you will ever say. God desires us to say them with precision because they will determine our destiny. We will be blessed by saying yes to what is in accordance with our dream and no to anything else. Sometimes people say yes and don’t succeed in their dreams because they don’t understand that prioritising creates useful limits on their choices.
1 Corinthians 6:12 declares that, “everything is permissible for me but not everything is beneficial.” Therefore we should bear in mind that though we have permission to do everything or anything we want to,”not everything is beneficial” for us. The only thing that should have power over us are the things that will take us to our goals. If something is beneficial, we should ask ourselves if this thing we are holding on to is leading us to our dreams, destiny, purpose or goals.
This involves relationships too. There may be some good people in your life who are bad for you because they are distracting you from going where you want to go. When I was in high school my friends were having boy friends and I just concentrated on completing my education and having a job. This attitude carried me through to completing my college education. As a result I had a good job. When we don’t focus, we won’t be able to fulfil our dreams. Our greatest challenge as individuals is to choose between good and best, not good and bad because we know what is good and bad already in our conscious.
If you want to achieve your dream, keep your eyes on the goal and never take them off. There is a guarantee that you are likely to reach it.
Well will leave you here till next time. May God’s blessings be upon you as you pursue your dreams.

''...THE TRUTH ITSELF STANDS UP FOR DEMETRIUS!''
3 JOHN 12:

When others speak well of you, you have acceptance; but when the truth speaks well of you, you have character. Demetrius had it - do you? A lot has been written and said about character. Study the following words carefully then ask yourself, 'Do I have character?'

Character is simply confidence dressed in humility.

It keeps its word, its temper and its friends. It has a steady eye, a steady nerve, a steady tongue, and steady habits.

It is silent when it has nothing to say, thoughtful and compassionate when it judges, and is always first to make amends when it is wrong.

Character does not run scared.

It is surefooted, committed, and handles whatever comes along.

Character has a sense of honour.

It knows that a good laugh is often the best lubricant for oiling the machinery of human relations. Character never makes excuses.

It takes its bumps, learns from its mistakes and becomes wiser.

Character knows that courtesy and good manners are nothing more than a series of small sacrifices. It bespeaks an aristocracy that is not dependent on ancestors or money.

A Lord can be totally without it while the lowest of the low may ooze it out of every pore.

Character can talk with crowds and keep your virtue.

Character walks with Kings and does not loose the common touch.

Everyone is comfortable with a person who has character because they are comfortable with themselves!


So, how do you measure up? Still need work? Be encouraged we have the Lord on our side, He will see us through

1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
Are you one of those people going around feeling so unworthy to go into the presence of God? Do you have thoughts that say you cannot go into God’s presence because you have not been reading your Bible and going to church? Or sometimes you feel guilty because of the wrongs you have committed. When we become Christians we should be totally free from sin consciousness as we have moved from sin to the righteousness of God in Christ.
The devil will always make you feel condemned or disqualify you but the truth is that regardless of how you feel and what you have done, the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin.
In Greek text, the tense for the word “cleanses” denotes a present continuous action. This means that once you are a believer, the blood of Jesus Christ keeps on cleansing you from every sin.
So you can rest knowing that you are always forgiven in this continuous wash cycle of Jesus blood. Because you are continually cleansed, you are always in the light. You may fail from time to time, but you are still in the light because the blood is continuously washing you. Sin in the simplest form would be missing the mark. (God’s law and His commands which come from his nature are the mark or standard that we aim at and miss.)
In Revelation chapter 12:11 declares that we have overcome the devil by the blood of the lamb. If you have sinned, remind yourself that Jesus’ blood is continuously cleansing you from every sin every day. Jesus Christ paid the penalty once and for all.
The eternal blood of Jesus Christ offers you eternal redemption and everlasting righteousness. Accept the payment of His blood as the final, perfect and only sacrifice you will ever need. He loves you very much

This was drawn during a worhip at church. The Easter message was fantastic.

This was so moving I thought to share it.
