We burn bridges because others have treated us wrong, and we don’t want anything more to do with them. We don’t want to forgive them . . . again.

We’re tired of the same old sob story, so we cut them loose, don’t forgive them, and don’t have to worry about forgiving that person again. To top it off, we don’t care how many times the Bible say we are to forgive.

Face it, if you don’t forgive, God will not forgive you.

Matthew 18:21-22 (KJV) – then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times; but, Until seventy times seven.

Matthew 6:15 (KJV) – but if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

We don’t realize how much we are blessed. Not only does God forgives us of our sins, but He has blessed us with all spiritual blessings.

Acknowledge and use your blessings. You are blessed beyond what your mind can imagine.

Ephesians 1:3 (KJV) – blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.

We all have a choice who or what we worship, and there are consequences in the choices we make. Good and bad.

There is one body, one faith. . . one God.

Ephesians 4:4-6 (KJV) – there is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

It is so much more evident now then ever, that children are becoming more and more disrespectful to their parents, and elders.

This is not God’s will. It is right to obey, and honor our mother and father.

God promised, if you honor your mother and father, you will have long life on the earth.

Proverbs 22:6 (KJV) – train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Ephesians 6:1-3 (KJV) – children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

When someone is a fault, it is not for us to condemn them. But to be meek and restore them. Because one day, you will be at fault with something.

Galatians 6:1 (KJV) – brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

We do foolish things because we are not wise to the word of God. We choose to walk in the flesh, and do our own thing.

Have you ever considered asking God for wisdom?

Ask, and it will be given to you. If you don’t ask, you don’t receive.

James 1:5 (KJV) – if any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Do you love someone so much, that if you had to live your life all over again, you’d choose them every time?

That’s how our Father feels about you. He loves you so much, He chose you before the foundation of the world. He gave His only begotten Son for you.

He loved you first. Love him back.

Ephesians 1:4 (KJV) – according as he hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in 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.

I John 4:19 (KJV) – we love him, because he first loved us.

There are so many of us that do not want to give to others. And there are some things we are willing to give. But, if you ask for that certain thing, we are stingy with it.

Don’t be stingy. Remember, God owns it all. What you give, will be given back to you, more than you gave.

Luke 6:38 (KJV) – give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

As scary as it may sound, there are so many in this world will gravitate to the bad things, so much quicker than the good things of this world.

Some would even say, they love the excitement of drama, which is what you find in the majority of reality shows.

We are not to love the world, nor the things in it.

I John 2:15-16 (KJV) – love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

Our priorities and values, determines the way we spend our time. We have to be careful how we spend our time. Tomorrow is not promised.

The days are becoming more evil. Choose your priorities and values wisely, once that minute is gone, you can’t get it back.

Ephesians 5:15-16 (KJV) – see then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
