Consistent & Everlasting Love
I will betroth you to me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion. I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will acknowledge the Lord .

What You're Called To Do vs What You Choose
So many people get up and go through their daily, planned routine...Most of that is going to work, completing some sort of to-do list, and/or taking care of family. However, there is more to life than just a routine. Do you ever think about why you are in the place you go to daily? Do you ever stop and ask yourself why you meet the people you encounter? You are meant to reach others, and impact environments that God desires to change and influence. We are His vessels, and we were made for more than just a daily routine. Ask God today why your here, who you were meant to impact, and for more details concerning a purpose that only you will be able to carry out.
I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, Ephesians 4:1 NKJV

Behavior Towards Our Enemies
But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, Matthew 5:44 NKJV
*This is definitely one of the hardest things to do, especially with users. It's easier to cut people like that off, and not deal with them. I'm not saying be around these people, but to love inspite of is definitely a humbling experience. However, the honor is in God seeing your actions. Plus, if we can learn to work through the negativity of haters, it will be easier to handle loved ones.

Child-like Faith
and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me. Matthew 18:3-5 NKJV
*Many times there are people who say whatever, or convey the word to others in whatever fashion that fits their own agenda or understanding. You even have those who are bold enough to try to tell God what to do, or choose to do something based on their own will and then have the nerve to ask God to bless it. We all can stand a lesson in the consistency of being more like a child in receiving guidance, wisdom, and exercising humility to apply what we have received. As a matte of fact, it would give us our innocence back in humbling ourselves to see things the way God wants us to view things & people vs what we've experienced. Children are forever learning, growing, and impressionable...They need the proper guidance and have hope in all things. The world takes that away. May er come back to the basis of childhood, and the innocence of being impressionable for Christ.

What is Your Motive and Demeanor?
Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. Galatians 5:26 NKJV
*This is one of the main issues that I see amongst believers: The spirit of envy, trying to compete with one another, and always questioning each in order to make the other person feel bad. Since when did God award people to be the judge and jury? Why do people provoke each other, rather than be a listening ear and help each other? What is the point in competing when we are all in the race together?...No sin holds less weight than the next. Today, I encourage you to evaluate how you carry yourself. Are you always looking for faults? Do you care or just waiting to respond and pick at others? What is your real motive?

We All Need Balance
Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 NKJV
*This is why ppl need to get outside of themselves, and stop looking only for someone to help them...Learn to help balance someone else. This hoe you yourself will be balanced and create allies. Personally, it is tiring to be that person who supports yet is never supported.. Disgusting even. Until I receive the support, I will preserve my energy as to not be drained. Praise God for any short-term connections that God provides to aid in boosting until I am blessed with long-term ones.
