Darkness to Light

by | Oct 24, 2012 | Guidance

Your past defines who you are today. What you do today defines who you will be tomorrow. If you are happy with who you are today, embrace and live today as if it was your last and plan for tomorrow as if it will be forever.

If you are unhappy with who you are today, increase the love and compassion you show to others. Begin to be who you want to be and do it today.

No matter what comes into your mind about yesterday, every morning you are born again into another day. God has allowed you to breathe His air into your life not to be miserable but to receive a gift from Him. He wants you free to look at this world as it is. He wants you to be what He created you for, not to be miserable but to love, be loved, and show the world that misery comes from the dark side of life. There is no joy there.

You may be the only light of joy that someone may see in this world. And if only that one is able to see the joy of the Lord in you because of who you are, you have done a great work for God. Light comes from the unconditional love of God. From love comes peace, and from peace comes joy.

No matter what the rest of the world is doing or the condition of your life, do not let the dark things of this world define who you are today or who you will be tomorrow. Be who God made you to be – “A light in a dark and dying world.”

“Jesus said, ‘I am the light of life: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life’” (John 8:12).

Decisions

by | Oct 13, 2012 | Guidance

Making a decision…

…is like sitting at a stop sign and deciding you have waited long enough for the light to change. Do you decide to wait a few seconds more and play it safe? Or have you made a choice to plow ahead?

Are you prepared to deal with the outcome if you run the light? What if you face a traffic ticket, a fender bender, or the ultimate bad decision: the death of a person who had no say in the process?

We never know how our decisions affect others until after the fact. So many times in our lives, we have made a decision based solely on our needs, not thinking how it will affect other lives.

Let God help in the process and you will never have to worry about the outcome or how it affects your loved ones and your own well-being.

“Let go and let God.”
