Loving unconditionally.........

Loving Unconditionally:
It's easy to love people that are just like us.Unconditional love says, I'm going to love you even if I don't agree with you. Don't have a holier than thou attitude. Take off the judgmental glasses. When we show this unconditional love, people may not respond right away. We are sowing seeds of love. It may look like it's not doing any good. We don't have to straighten everybody out. All we have to do is sow the seed. The church has been good at telling people what we don't like. John 13:35, By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another. What would this world be like if instead of judging people we started loving people? They may come from a different culture, denomination or faith. Sometimes we have this narrow view of God. When we get to heaven we will be surprised who all is there. When you love unconditionally, you have a wide circle. You are not judging everyone to see if they fit in your little box. A lot of times religion is trying to push people away. Do you have a heart to believe God? Do you believe in the resurrected Savior? The mercy of God is wide. Why do we try to make it so narrow? You don't have to tell people what they're doing wrong. They already know that. Just love them. Where would we be without the mercy of God? When we made mistakes? When we didn't deserve it? There's usually a good reason people are the way they are. Before you judge them, get to know them. God freely gave us mercy. Let's give other people mercy. One way to know how pure your heart is, is to look at how much you judge. Too often we judge what we don't understand. John 7:24, Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly. Give everybody room to become who God created them to be. Don't judge by the exterior. You don't have to understand someone to love them. You don't have to agree with them to love them. Start covering people with love. It's easy to cover them with condemnation and guilt. Remember, they are on a journey. Show mercy. Be understanding. Give them the benefit of the doubt. You'll have more joy, better relationships. Your own life will improve. ~Joel Osteen

Stay blessed......

Quit blaming yourself

When the Israelites were slaves in Egypt, for many years they were beaten down. Not only physically, but emotionally. They were constantly told they were no good, they couldn't do anything right, they would never measure up. Over time, they let those words steal their sense of value. They felt inferior, insecure, like they had no self-worth. When a person is being mistreated or abused, especially for a long time; instead of recognizing the other person is doing them wrong, it's easy for them to accept the blame and start thinking they deserve what's happening. Before long, they're not only ashamed of what's happening, but they start to become ashamed of who they are. That's the way the Israelites felt. That's how the enemy twists things. But after 430 years, God brought them out of the slavery, out of the abuse. Just when they were about to enter the Promised Land, God said to them, "This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt off of you." Re

Gods promises are more reliable to depend on, man can fail you but his word never fails.

In Scripture, when the angel visited Mary and told her that she would give birth to the Son of God, Mary had a pretty big question. She said, "How can this be seeing that I know not a man?" Mary wasn't married and had never been with a man. She was asking about the natural realm, but we can also look at this principle in a spiritual sense, too. God is saying today, "My promises are not dependent on man." You don't have to know certain people in order to fulfill your destiny. You don't have to have certain connections in the natural because the spirit of God will overshadow you to bring forth His promises. Sometimes we think, "If I could just get my boss to like me, then he'd give me that promotion. If I could just get to that certain school, then I'd be qualified. If I just had some important, influential friends, maybe I could get a good break." No, God's promises are not dependent on who you know or who you don't know. Prom
