Let's try and think before we act

​When we make choices, there are sometimes consequences that come after.  Therefore, it’s very important to try and make good choices so that we don’t have to deal with things after the fact.  In order to avoid some of this, we can think before we act and ask ourselves would this choice be best for me and how would it impact others?
 
Let’s be real, we all make mistakes, and we learn day by day from what we do, what we do to others or what others do to us. Our job is to know how to walk with integrity, not bring stress on our lives or the lives of others and when we have negative encounters that come our way with people, we have to know how to control ourselves and still be positive.  Most of the time, we spend so much energy into beating ourselves up about what we have done or what others have done to us.  We have to understand that we can’t take back yesterday but we can make today better. If we’ve done something to someone else, apologize, ask for forgiveness, and keep it moving.  When we don’t humble ourselves to know how to say “I’m sorry” we need to do some evaluation within.  Forgiveness is not for the other person but for the one who forgives. It helps the other person but mainly it's for the one who forgives. THAT’S SO IMPORTANT TO KNOW AND SO POWERFUL.
 
We all need love and when we do wrong, don’t we want Jesus to forgive us so why can’t we forgive others?  It has so many benefits to forgive and it actually changes the world for the best.  How we handle ourselves is what would bring hope to the world and for people to see God’s Grace and Mercy.
 
The goal is to grow and basically, God is teaching us day by day how to love and how to make a difference in the world by the choices that we make.  He gives us the tools to make the right choices to avoid consequences but, we all are still learning, we all have faults, and we all need Jesus. 
 
Let’s work towards being better to ourselves, to others and as I said before think before we act.

Amen and Thank You Lord
