Who are you really? Seriously, take a time out for a moment, are you the same person you present yourself as to others?
When you tell people you are a Christian, does your personal life reflect a person who truly walks closely with the Lord.
Can people see the Fruits of the Spirit in your life? The Fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Or is there any traits of the flesh? The character traits of someone walking in the sinful nature are sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies.
You know we all can have ghosts in our closets, we can all live a dual life, pretending to be Godly, yet living a life that is actually ungodly.
The key is to be real with yourself. Be real with God. God wants you to love him completely with nothing in the flesh in your life. So…do some soul searching. Ask God if there is anything that you are thinking, feeling and/or doing that he disapproves of that he wants to work on with you.
Integrity is a big deal with God. It is being transparent with God and your fellow man. It is truly being available to Love and to be loved.
Integrity is being honest with yourself and others. It is not being afraid to share your areas of weakness and sharing your true self with others.
Integrity is being a testimony of Truth. It is walking in the way of Righteousness, it is putting God’s commands before your own. It is being authentic.
Here is a great scripture verse to hold onto:
1Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4When Christ, who is your[a] life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
5Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.[b] 7You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. 11Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
12Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
15Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. 17And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3: 1-15.
Dive into God’s word, spend some serious quiet time with the Lord. Allow Christ to dwell deeply in your heart, invite him to remove anything of the flesh from you, and seek the Lord..repent of your ways.
Remember, every single one of us will need to give an account of how we lived our lives. Live for Christ..and let go of the self, temptations, and be real and authentic.
Love,
T.

Real short and to the point, don’t boast about yourself nor what you have achieved in life so far. Allow others to speak highly of you rather than you speak of yourself.
Often times we can boast about ourselves in order to impress others. We can boast so that we personally feel better than another person. We can simply boast in order to compare ourselves to the rest of the world. All is not good.
Society has a tendency to make us believe we need to “flaunt” ourselves and say to all we meet “look at me“. It is all over television, magazines, and simply in public settings. Just society can compel you to talk alot about you rather than just be under the radar.
The Bible has a different perspective on life. We are called to remain humble, not to boast and just live a quiet life. We are called to lay down our pride, self, ego, self worth at the foot of the cross.
We are called to do things unto the Lord, and if we are blessed with good things we are to give God the credit and the glory in what we receive. So different than Society and the World view of things.
So…the next time you find yourself “boasting” about things and people, stop yourself and don’t say a word. Instead if someone comes in to your path, find interest in what they have been doing, what God has been doing in there lives. Just be an example of Christ whom never boasted about himself just was busy doing the work he was called to do.
Give God the credit in all things, if people want to praise you for what you have been able to do. Let them do so. But remind them, that it was God who allowed the opportunity to take place. Always redirect people back to Christ. It is important.
So the next time you get puffed up..slow down, remember the hard times, the sad times, the trials you have gone through..remember in a blink of an eye what you have done will be over…so whatever you do…allow God to work through you.
I hope this makes sense…bottom line…keep your perspective on Christ..he is the giver of all good gifts, nothing of your own work. It is all about grace…unmerited favor.
Live in Peace and God’s grace, not in works..
Love,
T

New Year’s Prayer for All.
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for all you had done in the last year in each of our lives. At times we could not see you at work in our midst, yet we know in faith that you are always at work in our lives. So we give you thanks today.
Lord reveal to our minds and our hearts the blessings that you bestowed upon us last year. May we be still and wait upon you as you reveal to us those things you protected us from, those gifts you have put in our lives, and the powerful lessons you taught us through the relationships you have placed each of our lives. May we stop to pause and reflect.
Lord may we give you all the glory in our lives. May we realize that what takes place in our lives is coordinated by you. Good or bad, each thing we encounter passes through your will for approval. May we realize this. Bad or Good whatever comes into our lives is meant to strengthen our relationship with you. May we stop to give you the glory in our good times..and in our times tribulations.
As we let go of last year…may we open the door as you knock on our hearts and minds. May we be wide open to you..may we see your hand and presence in all that we experience in the coming year.
We surrender the future to you. We let go of what we hold tightly to. And allow you to reign richly in our lives, today, tomorrow and through out the coming year.
Teach us to Love the way you Love. May we be your hands and feet to those you put in our path today, tomorrow and through out the year.
May you always be #1 in our lives, today, tomorrow and through out the coming year.
In Jesus name,
Love,
T

In a blink of an eye…your life is over so make the best of it.
In a blink of an eye..one word..can change how you view your life.
In a blink of an eye..one thought..can propel you into your destiny.
In a blink of an eye..people come in to your life..
In a blink of an eye..people walk out of our life…
In a blink of an eye..the weather changes..seasons change..
In a blink of an eye..your emotions change from one extreme to another.
In a blink of an eye..God reveals himself to your heart.
In a blink of an eye..you learn what matters the most.
In a blink of an eye..you can be inspired to accomplish something great.
In a blink of an eye..a tragedy occurs..
In a blink of an eye..a new beginning is created…
In a blink of an eye..a trial that seemed to last forever is finally over..
In a blink of an eye..things change..you change..people change yet…
Jesus never changes..he is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
So when your “Blink of an eye” occur..put your trust in the Lord…he is constant and he is consistent.
God never changes..we may be puzzled on what he is doing…yet he is always the same..and always wants what is best..so trust in Christ.
Your life is always going to move forward..never backward…so stop looking at the past..and keep looking to Christ..where your final destination is…
In a blink of an eye..you are going to meet Christ face to face..so make sure each day…you make Christ your #1 priority.
It is just a “blink of an eye”…
Love,
T

Today, just pray through out the day.
Be not anxious about anything, but through prayer make your request known unto God. And the Peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your heart and minds in Christ Jesus. Phil 4:7.
That’s it for today…just pray through out the day..make your request known to God…give God the praise and thanksgiving due..and see how the Holy Spirit comes through.
Love,
T

When things are good and you are grateful, pray and give thanks to God.
When things are bad and you are upset, scared and worried..pray for God’s peace.
When you feel as though someone is being unkind to you..pray to God that he will bless them with kindness
When you feel misunderstood and ridiculed for doing the right thing…pray to God to protect you and to guard your heart.
When you are confused and you need to know what God’s direction is..pray God gives you wisdom and understanding.
When you are tired and need strength..pray to God.
So bottom line in all things..pray unceasingly…make your request known to God..and he will give you peace in the midst of all.
Prayer is essential in your walk with the Lord..so make prayer a priority…
Love,
