When Pride Stands in the Way of Our Progress

Our pride in ourselves has a sneaky way of keeping us from being closer to God. Why? It’s because we begin to value ourselves and our own personal opinions over those of God. In order to fix that we need to humble ourselves before God and ask for His forgiveness.

“Letting Go and Letting God”

God needs time to heal what is within us yet we have difficulty letting go of what is causing us pain and anger and frustration. When we have faith in God’s ability to heal what is broken inside of us then we can see a brighter future for ourselves.

Beware Of The Ego Trap!

Check your ego at the door unless you want to be humbled, because it can and will happen if you aren’t careful. Turn yourself towards a big and powerful God who loves you and knows what you can do when you serve God in your service to others instead of yourself.

Accountability For Some Is A Dirty Word

It’s so hard to see how we act or what we say can be and are harmful to others but is not flattering of ourselves as well. Recognize your faults and work to change them. Once you do that, then those bad deeds no longer have a hold over you. You have become a new creation.

“Are you looking for advice or do you just want to be heard?”

Take the time to listen first to each other. It’s so easy to take what that person is saying or doing personally. Remember that it’s not about you, it’s about them. Help others by listening to what they have to say and process those emotions. We can ALL do more of that!

Oh, How Beautiful!

We are blessed to live in a country where we can be free to learn and grow and strive to become better during our lifetime. We MUST continue to stand up for our values and pray to our God who strengthens us in our quest for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
