When we don’t see things from the other person’s point of view, we either are being stubborn and wanting our way, or we truly don’t see their view.

Most often, we don’t know how, or we don’t want to love someone from the other side. Meaning, we don’t want to see things from the other persons point of view. If we don’t want to change our view, we will not learn to grow, nor to allow God to nurture us to help nurture others.

Learning to love from the other side, changes the direction of a conversation, and most of all, a relationship.

Be quick to listen, and slow to speak.

John 15:12 (KJV) – this is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

Romans 12:10 (KJV) – be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another.

James 1:19 (KJV) – wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.

 

Have you ever felt you were set up by someone? Afterward, you became disappointed, along with a few other emotions.

Whenever you believe you have been set up by the enemy, please know, it’s not a set up to set you back, it’s a set-up to move you forward.

What the enemy ‘tries’ to cause for your harm, remember, God causes it for your good.

Your set-up from the enemy is a blessing in disguise. Count it all joy!!

Genesis 50:20 (KJV) – but as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

Romans 8:28 (KJV) – and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

James 1:2 (KJV) – my brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations.

Do you want to give the ultimate gift for the season – for Christmas?

God gave us the ultimate gift – His only begotten Son, so that we may live through him.

Surrender your life to God and you will receive gifts of blessings over blessings. The gift that keeps on giving.

John 3:16 (KJV) – for God so loved the world, that he gave his on begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

I John 4:9 (KJV) – in this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

Matthew 6:33 (KJV) – but seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

When you don’t see a way out of your struggle, turn to God. He will see you through.

When you have done all you can, turn to God. He will make a way for you.

With God, all things are possible.

Psalm 46:1 (KJV) – God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Mark 10:27 (KJV) – and Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

 

 

 

Be good to those who are not good to you.

People will know that God lives in you, just by the way you love those that are not loving you.

Matthew 5:44 (KJV) – but I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.

 

 

God doesn’t just love you.

God “so” loves you.

Trust in God’s love.

John 3:16 (KJV) – for God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Don’t let your struggles and hardships go to waste. Share your struggles and pain, and how you conquered, so that you can help someone else overcome and conquer.

Your struggles are a blessing. Be a blessing to someone.

Romans 8:36-37 (KJV) – as it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

We stumble through life because we walk in darkness. We walk without the light.

Be determined to walk in the light, for God is the light.

John 11:10 (KJV) – but if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

I John 1:5 (KJV) – this then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

Believers. . .

You are salt, which changes the flavor. You are light, which takes away the darkness. You are in this world, but not of this world.

Dare to be different, to make a difference!

Matthew 5:13-14 (KJV) – ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.

John 17:16 (KJV) – they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

God has a reason for everyone that has disappointed us.

God allows people to let us down, because most of the time, we make people our god by depending on them. God wants us to depend on Him.

Therefore, those you lean on, were meant to disappoint you, so that you may see God as your source.

Proverbs 3:6 (KJV) – in all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

I Peter 5:7 (KJV) – casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
