Perception more than meets the eye

 


Your perception on people and circumstances around you is not always what it seems. Looking through a circumstance through a straw verses a telescope makes a huge difference. 

Asking questions instead of making assumptions is vital in life. 
Waiting, on God and having Biblical wisdom that He is using the darkness or your set back for His glory 
will allow you to be refined gently instead of harshly. 

If you think God is unfair, unjust, and simply cruel this perception will make you miserable, angry, and full of discontentment. This perception will force a bad attitude. 

Romans 8:28 is true and if we fully understand this verse we will take things more patiently, more gracefully, and our attitude will be better allowing us to make decisions that are a God glorifying than choices based on the perception of fear. 

Where are your perceptions heading your attitude, towards God or away from God? 
God does Not Care about your circumstances as Much as He Cares about your ATTITUDE! 

How you handle the current circumstances you find yourself in, will determine your attitude even if the circumstances change. 

God did not fix Job’s circumstances until Job forgave his friends.
Until his perception changed. 

If you are a selfish person why is God going to give you more? 
If you are bitter and dealing with chronic illness will you be healed & still be bitter? 

Or maybe being sick is keeping you close to God, and maybe God knows healing you, will tempt you to walk away from God. You don’t know God’s purposes, but perception and attitude are most important to God, because He is preparing your eternal heart for an eternal place. 

I hope your attitude and perceptions today will lead into a thriving life!

Toe Dipping Faith

Image
  Sometimes, with God, He does not always expect you to dive in, rather, He just said expects a toe dipping kind of faith.   I recently experienced this first hand. I really felt called to blog and podcast. I jumped in, First thing this morning I woke up to money being sent by Western Union. I simply dipped my toe in, and God was faithful in showing up lighting up my path.   We become afraid, like Peter, who saw the waves, but we forget that he did get out of the boat. No other disciple walked on water. He dipped in his toe and walked on water.   To really thrive, sometimes, it is just a matter of putting in our toe in the water. Have you, stuck your toe in today? Are you growing in faith or growing your fear?    God is faithful, He never leaves us poolside, He takes our hand and as we jump in he holds our hand and He gently says, “Follow Me.”   Today, I encourage you to dip in a toe to thrive! Stop allowing your fear to rule your life! Each time we trust in God and simply put a toe n

Love ain’t shown...... Somtimes

 Love for me was not displayed by family. Love for me was not kind words or tons of affection. I saw more stuff take place; than in a Stephen King novel.   Yet, I thrived. I thrived to the point I maintain a marriage, I can love my son no matter what he has done. I can see him. I can go above and beyond for my husband not because it was shown to me; rather, it was taught by The Author of Love.   The Bible calls us over-comers of the world. Why? Love, His love, forces us beyond what was never taught.    The cycles of abuse can stop when we are bold enough to step out of the way and learn. Learn to live beyond the mediocre. Live huge to the point you walk into a room; and know exactly who is a Christian. To shine means to have people take notice. You are extraordinary in the way you speak, carry yourself, and hold people just by looking at them. This is what it means to literally put Christ on.  Just because your parents hated you, you remained in foster care until you aged out of the sy

We are all unique and special, and just like tea cups we all come in different shapes and sizes. We all have our purpose.  The dainty cups are for royalty taking in their English breakfast on the seaside. The larger ones are for the writers who are lucky enough to drink from the huge ones that have whimsical patterns  that decorate their desk. The ancient and cracked ones that are stored in museums because they are too delicate to touch.   They all have purpose, they all bring something to our lives. We are like them. We simply, exist in our own beauty. There is not a single person that is not meant to be here. They are all created for special moments that have passed, that are happening, and that will happen. We wait patiently for the Lord to call us from the slumber of the cupboard to do amazing work.   To make people laugh, to teach lessons, to save lives, to wipe tears away, to embrace the hard lives and sprinkle empathy around the world, to make people have humility on the goodnes
