It's doesn't take much for us to see if we're moving forward or backwards and it doesn't take much for us to know what we need to do to make our lives better.  Sometimes we settle for less or our self esteem is not where it should be.  We all are children of God and He doesn't want us to be unhappy or put a pause on our lives.  Everything we do, has a positive or negative affect.  Let's not keep dragging ourselves down but take charge of our lives so we can have some peace.  Also let's not keep allowing others to keep us down.  People who really care will show that they care.  Don't be fooled by  negative actions and  make excuses but know what's best for  you. Think about and do what's best for your life. God is always there with open arms.  Amen

Let us pray,
Dear Lord, thank you so much for another day and the gift of life.  You're so wonderful to us all the time and it's only by your grace that we can still stand.  You are an awesome God and thank you so much for always loving us and guiding us the way. Lord we all need you each and every day even when things are going well, we still need you Lord.  You tell us all the time to love, forgive, gain wisdom and that you're always with us.  That wisdom is such a precious gift and we love you for that divine mercy.  Please continue to give us what we need and use us for your purpose and most importantly give us the strength to keep going. Thank you so much and if you don't do anything else, always know that you've done enough.  Amen 

We all are different in our own unique way and God made all of us with a purpose.  This journey that we're living is such a precious gift but it's up to us to utilize what God has given us during our time here.  Some have come and gone but we're still here.  It's not a mistake that we're here and I truly believe we have a reason to be here according to God's will.  God has a plan for each and every one of us.  He talks to us all the time but we have to take a step back and put Him first in order to see that purpose in our lives. We can start with love, forgiveness and patience and most importantly spending time with God building our relationship  and growing in wisdom and understanding.  If we do that, we will be on the road to finding our purpose and happiness.  We just can't find happiness with out God. Also, when we utilize those virtues, we will see what's important, what's not, we will be able to observe peoples actions to see who's for us and who's against us and most importantly, we will be in our right mind to be able to forgive and not allow anger to get the best of us.  It's very important that we protect our minds and our hearts because when we don't do that, we don't see the light and don't realize how messed up  our lives are today.  Let's want better things because when this life ends for us, We will leave a legacy behind for others and God will open up the gates and say well done.  Amen and thank you Lord

God wants all of us to be what he calls us to be but we have to be true to ourselves and be comfortable with who we are.  It's called being humbled and opened to what it is in life.  Sometimes I think we do too much and not really be ourselves.  It doesn't matter what people think around us because we would never be what God calls us to be if we're not true to ourselves.  If you think about it, how can we serve God if we don't know how to be open in life.  It doesn't matter what others think or what they do, it's all about what we do and how we're serving the mission.  Let's think about our lives and ask God to help us with whatever we're dealing with so that we can live according to His will and be opened to His grace and mercy. Amen and thank You Lord.

Each day is special because God gives us second chances.  It's very important that we do whatever it takes to make a difference and to try and walk on the right path.  God gives us wisdom to handle all situations and the strength to walk through the storms.  We should never be afraid to walk with the cross even if we think we're alone, God is always with us.  There are many who will say they are for you but against you(you can tell that by their actions) and it's really important to stand firm and do what you think is best.  We have to be leaders and listen to God. We can still love but don't get caught up with nonsense because a person who doesn't love their neighbor and not respect them, is not of God.   Not only is God loving, He's also a teacher.  Learn from the master and your life will nourish.  Anything else will lead you to a dead end.  I'm sure we all can look back on our lives and see what worked and what didn't, what gives us peace and what brings stress.  You make the choice and do what you think is best.  Always remember to make God the core of what you do and I guarantee you, you will get good results if your  mind is right and you're following God's words.  Second chances are blessings so let's not waste time because one day it may be too late and we may not be given the opportunity to begin again. Amen

Today is the first day of lent.  This is the day that we ask God for His mercy and try to refresh and to build our relationship with him.  Sometimes in life, it's very important to look around us and figure out what's holding us back from serving God and making us better people.  God blessed us with this gift of life and it's very important to evaluate what we're doing and figure out changes that need to be made to move in the right direction.  Sometimes when we make changes, we may lose a few friends, we may have to spend more time with ourselves or we may have to give up something that's holding us back.  We all have different journeys but we all should have one main goal and that's to Build the Body of Christ. During these next 40 days, let's rebuild our relationships with God and with People so we can grow in the name of Jesus and contribute to God's call.  Amen
