Our life is like a puzzle.

God doesn’t make any mistakes or waste anything.

Every trial you go through is a puzzle that fits together for the next trial to work out for your good.

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.

We are quick to holding grudges towards others rather than wanting to forgive.

Be more forgiving to others and our Father will forgive you.

If you don’t, our Father will not forgive you.

Matthew 6:14-15 (KJV) – for if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

We carry burdens that we shouldn’t.

You are to take them to God in prayer and He’ll carry them.

AND . . . give you peace of mind.

Philippians 4:6-7 (KJV) – be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

God goes ahead of us and sets the stage for our plans according to His will, not ours.

Thank God!!!

Deuteronomy 31:8 (KJV) – and the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.

Stop trying to live the Christian life in your own strength.

What God started in you is meant for Him to complete, not you.

Philippians 1:6 (KJV) – being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.

When you try to hide your wrong and think you got away with it, Please know . . . your sins will always find you.

Numbers 32:23 (KJV) – but if ye will not do so, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out.

When someone wrongs us, we want them to pay – show no mercy.

Remember that . . . because one day you’re going to need mercy.

Be merciful.

James 2:13 (KJV) – for he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

The Bible compares a fools anger to heavy stones and sand.

It suggests that a fools anger is far heavier than both the stones and the sand.

Watch your anger. It can be unbearable.

Proverbs 27:3 (KJV) – a stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool’s wrath is heavier than them both.

It’s better to openly speak the truth out of love for constructive criticism than to withhold it.

Proverbs 27:5 (KJV) – open rebuke is better than secret love.

In this day and age, people brag on themselves constantly.

You are to let others brag on you, not yourself.

Proverbs 27:2 (KJV) – let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
