something happens

Once you really believe that you are a son of God,

something happens — you begin to live life as “an heir of God through Christ”.

As a son, you inherit!

You inherit all the blessings of God

which Jesus died to give you,

including salvation, healing, prosperity,

wholeness, favour, intimacy with God

and answered prayers..

Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.

The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.

We did it Disneyland, in the knowledge that most of the people I talked to thought it would be a financial disaster - closed and forgotten within the first year.

When you're curious, you find lots of interesting things to do.

Whenever I go on a ride, I'm always thinking of what's wrong with the thing and how it can be improved.

You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.

God Bless all of you

Live simply,

love generously,

care deeply,

speak kindly,

&

leave the rest to God.

No matter what

No matter what is going on in your life right now, the Lord promises that you can have peace. When you make the decision to listen to God, and follow His direction, you will have peace.

You may be thinking to yourself, “God doesn’t speak to me” but the Bible says that you are His sheep, and you can hear His voice, and the voice of a stranger you will not follow.

The Lord speaks in many ways—sometimes through a friend, or a song, or in the beauty of nature. Sometimes it’s a simple “knowing” deep down in the inside of you. If you aren’t sure how God speaks to you, ask Him to teach you.

All you have to do is open your heart and be willing to hear His voice. As you open your heart to Him, He will speak to your heart, and you will live in peace all the days of your life.

Forgive Others

As followers of Christ, our character should mirror His character. We should be helpful to one another, kind and tender toward one another, understanding and loving. Most of all, we should be extending forgiveness to one another in the same way that Christ extends forgiveness toward us. In other words, forgive unconditionally.

Many times, people won’t forgive until the other person says they are sorry. Or, they won’t forgive because they think somehow they are punishing the other person or giving them what they deserve. But the only person that is hurt by your unforgiveness is you. When you hold unforgiveness, you can’t be forgiven by God, and you are the one locked up in the hurt and pain. Don’t hold unforgiveness any longer! Forgiveness simply begins with a choice to obey God’s command. When you open your heart to forgiveness, you open your heart to God’s healing and restoration in your life. Make the choice today to forgive others—readily and freely—as God in Christ forgave you!

Heavenly Father, thank You for shaping my character and making me more like You. I invite You to work in every area of my life. I choose to forgive just as You have forgiven me. I bless Your holy name today. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
