Heartfelt Thoughts

     Have you ever had days when you have gotten up, eager to begin your morning?  But, perhaps as you got more into the day, your thoughts might have changed a bit.  Things seem to go a little more in a different direction.  You then begin to wonder why you even got up, or what is your purpose at all.

  This is a common feeling in today's dark and rapidly changing world.  Have you ever noticed just how different people are now from say fifty years ago?  There is hardly any more warmth.  People are always in a rush.  Most of the time, they are rude and uncaring.

  All that you have to do is turn on the news or pick up a newspaper.  It can bring you down faster than you can imagine.  So what is the answer?  What can you do?

  Well, let's stop for a moment and consider the example of someone who has to go to a wedding.  What are some of the things that they do?  They go out and buy an outfit for the occasion.  They also buy a nice gift and a card.  In other words, they get prepared.

  This is why it is so important to know the Lord and to live for Him.  It prepares you to walk your life's pathway covered in His presence, surrounded by and filled with His love, and filled with His joy.

  Draw closer to Him each day.  He is your forever strength.  So when you are faced with the negativity of the world, it won't bother you.  The light of the Lord will overshadow it and make it go away.  When someone is mean to you, you can counteract it with love and kindness.

  You can make an awesome difference by God's grace!
