Daily Inspiration-Life Does Not Have to Be Perfect to Be Wonderful! Seek Ye First…
If you are looking for perfection you will be sadly disappointed. No thing and no person in life is “perfect.” However, if you are settled in your heart (and it is always a heart issue) you will find life is about as close to perfect as possible. You will have a peace that surpasses all understanding despite what may be swirling around you at the moment.
Pray without ceasing. Live holy. Be responsible. Put God first and all else will fall into place. Life does not have to be perfect to be wonderful!

Daily Inspiration-Check Your Reactions!
Sometimes the crustiest person on the outside is really a person hiding much pain. Be pleasant. Be gentle. You have no idea the impact of a smile or a kind word. Show compassion.
For it is written:
“A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly, but the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness. The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good. A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.”
Proverbs 15:1-4

I was reading an article about whether people see the glass representing their life as half full or half empty. Personally, I am happy to have the glass! It is easy to ruminate on what is missing and miss what is right before you. Some of the simplest blessings are the most overlooked and taken for granted.
Many years ago I went for an eye exam and the Doctor told me I had to see a surgeon that day or I would instantly go blind. WOW…not what I expected to hear to say the least. He was adamant. They offered

Have you messed up? Is there something in your life that you believe cannot be forgiven? Repent and know that with heartfelt (it is always a heart issue) repentance God forgets that transgression.
If you have repented, do not stay locked in a sin that He has forgiven and forgotten. Do not continually ruminate over something that is over and finished.
Do not let something you have done in the past become a stronghold that keeps you from moving forward in your life unencumbered. Focusing on the past can block present blessings because your focus is diverted from what God

Are you angry about something from the past? Are you angry about the way negativity in the world is escalating every day? Do you read and or watch negative things? Are you edgy and at unrest in your spirit?
Such a large percentage of what may be disquieting, you actually have no control over. Learning to step away and release such things is imperative in this season. One such area is the news. Do you follow the news closely? Most of it is negative. So guess what? What is going into your mind and spirit and heart (for it is

At His last Passover supper on the night before His crucifixion, Jesus established communion for all who follow Him. Communion calls to mind the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. My Pastor told me decades ago that communion is most powerful and healing.
Yet, within the body of Christ today many denominations and non-denominations limit the opportunity to receive communion to annually, quarterly, monthly, etc. Although Jesus never stipulated an exact time frame to receive, He did say, “…as often as …” in 1 Corinthians 11:25b.
I attended a funeral not too long ago in a church where the

It is amazing how God can work in your life if you just let Him. He will open doors no man can open and close doors no man can close. He will connect you with just the right people to enhance your journey in Him and His work through you.
Are you weary? Does life have you down? Are you looking for a change but do not know where to go from here?
Make the decision today to establish or re-establish a relationship with Jesus Christ. Even if you have followed Him for many years, there may still be a

Differences can divide. If your heart has been fractured through life experiences, you may see only division in difference. In the end, it is always a heart issue.
Perhaps look at differences as opportunities to learn to respect another even if not just like you. After all, wouldn’t life be really boring if we were all the same? Open your heart. Change your attitude to one of unity despite difference.
Let the Lord heal your wounds. He is faithful to rescue and protect those who acknowledge Him. Allow God’s grace to wash over you and heal every broken place.

When King Solomon had the opportunity to ask God for anything he wanted, he asked for wisdom and an understanding heart (for it is always a heart issue). He did not ask for wealth or the latest hi-tech chariot. He asked for wisdom.
What are you asking God for today? Ask first for wisdom. For without wisdom it is near impossible to live without drama.
It is so easy these days to be deceived and caught up with people and things that are not God’s best for
