The worst part about not being loved as a child

The worst part about not being loved as a child

We must first understand our children are new to this life. They really don’t know how to sort out their feelings with what is right. We shouldn’t tolerate their selfishness but we also need to understand they really don’t know the truth yet. We need to take the time to explain to them how to put themselves in the other persons shoes. We must teach them how to love others as if they were them. If we take the time to help them understand that we want them to live a selfless life for their own sak …

How long should you wait for someone to change?

How long should you wait for someone to change?

Our first responsibility is always to make sure we are not the ones that need to be changing. If we have the courage to look inside ourselves, we will find we are always in need of change. That said, if someone else is in need of so much change that a relationship depends on it, then we must pray about how long we should wait. We must also love them enough to challenge them to change at all cost. If they really refuse to change and we keep lovingly challenging them, many times they will walk awa …

What i told my daughters this week...

What i told my daughters this week...

THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE IS THE HAND THAT RULES THE WORLD. BLESSINGS on the hand of women! Angels guard its strength and grace. In the palace, cottage, hovel, Oh, no matter where the place; Would that never storms assailed it, Rainbows ever gently curled, For the hand that rocks the cradle Is the hand that rules the world. Infancy's the tender fountain, Power may with beauty flow, Mothers first to guide the streamlets, From them souls unresting grow— Grow on for the good or evil, Sunshine …

What does a strong man protect others from more than anything else?

What does a strong man protect others from more than anything else?

In a lifetime, a man may be forced to defend others from physical harm a few times, unless he has volunteered his life to defend others on a daily basis in the military or law enforcement. God bless them! For the rest of us, if faced with the challenge, we should be prepared and willingly accept the risk. I always knew this, but what I never considered or prepared enough for was that on a daily basis, I had a responsibility to protect others, and even those I love most from myself. (Not suggesti …

What is the difference between saying sorry and repentance

What is the difference between saying sorry and repentance

Saying we are sorry can mean a lot of things. The greatest evidence we are not seeking truth or truly repenting is when we look in the eyes of truth and make more excuses. True repentance is wrecked by the fact the truth means it’s the problem. So wrecked, it changes directions and will do most anything to make sure it never stands for a lie again. It no longer fights for itself, but fights for the truth despite itself. It will no longer be the plaintiff or the defendant in its own life. It will …

What to do when you are in what God had for you and you're not sure anymore

What to do when you are in what God had for you and you're not sure anymore

How do we know what to do when we are in a place we believe God called us to be, but then wonder if we are where God wants us to be? I’m in a place like that right now. Where I wonder, did I miss God, or is where I am where I am supposed to be? I have been here before. I have been here because I did what I wanted, not what God wanted. And I have been here because I was where God wanted me to be. I have learned that in either circumstance, if I am willing to follow Jesus right now, in this moment …

Who are the only two people who have the only thing you are missing?

Who are the only two people who have the only thing you are missing?

The world’s message of making sure people give us what we earned, are owed, need, have coming, or deserve is a lie intended to lead us to destroy ourself. No one owes us anything, and nothing we are missing in our own lives belongs to anyone else. The only thing ever missing in our own lives is what we have to give, and what Jesus has for us. Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. Matthew 16:25 For if …

How do we accept Gods forgiveness

How do we accept Gods forgiveness

I used to fight to forgive myself, but then I thought about how I feel about the person that hurt me forgiving themselves, and nothing about that made sense. The truth is, we have no power to forgive ourselves. The only power we have is to repent and forgive others. The beauty and the miracle is that God forgives us. Then our responsibility becomes accepting His forgiveness so we can move forward living a loving life. So His forgiveness in our lives is not in vain, and so His sacrifice on the cr …

What patience doesn’t do

What patience doesn’t do

Patience is a willingness to trust God’s Word and to trust that love never fails. It’s having the courage to stand on the truth despite everything we see. It is not pretending everything is ok like it is.....it’s a willingness to believe love never fails if we are willing to love. It’s the courage to change if the truth demands it, and to stand if the truth demands we stand despite what we see. Galatians 6:9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not gi …
