Spiritually Blind

It’s important to let your light shine, but you don’t need to announce it. Lighthouses don’t blare sirens to call attention to their shining - they just shine - and so should you. There are some Christians who attend church regularly, but there is no spiritual light in them; there is no passion for God’s Word or evidence of their relationship with Christ. The saddest part is that they don’t even realize their lost condition because they’re spiritually blind. It is pointless, though, to try and point it out, nag, or tell them what they are missing, because until they are awakened by the Holy Spirit, it will fall on deaf ears, or worse... drive them further away from God. The best way to shine your light is by living the truth you do have instead of focusing on what your friends or family “don’t have.” Be a living witness as a follower of Christ, for people may not read God’s Holy Word, but they “will” read your life. As 1 Peter 3:1 implies, “If we can’t win them by our words, let us win them by our ways.” Let your light shine, and in doing so, you can help others see their way out of the darkness and find the cure for spiritual blindness.

𝘽𝙞𝙜 𝙏𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙚𝙧𝙨

If someone told you that they would help you do a project but never showed up, it would make you question their reliability. And if it happened the next weekend, and the next, and the next, pretty soon you wouldn’t believe what they said at all. There are many people in this world who are big talkers but not actual “doers.” They sound and act convincing, but because their past behavior wasn’t dependable, people lost faith in their word and stopped believing in anything they promised to do. It’s not enough to “want” to do something; you must actually make the effort to make it happen. Even the best cooking pot will not produce food. To publish a book, you must start writing. Before performing a piano concert, you have to take piano lessons. So it is with everything in life - nothing happens if you do “nothing.” Too many people “aspire” to attain their goals, but many never accomplish them because they never even tried. The same can be said about people who profess to love God. They talk the talk . . . but don’t walk the walk. They may even know their Bible so well that they can quote one Bible verse after another, but their actions don’t show the world that they belong to Jesus. The Bible says in James 1:22, “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” Christianity is not about saying all the right things. It’s about taking on the characteristics of Christ and living how you believe. Decide today “whom” you belong to and then instead of being a “big talker,” let your actions prove it.

Bucketload of Bitterness

Sometimes people can say or do things that may instantly send you reeling from the sting. Intentional or not, the hurt is the same. But instead of letting it pe*****te your heart with pain, ask God to replace every bad thought and feeling with an extra measure of love for those who hurt you and then move on. Don’t put time and energy into wondering what others think; it only matters what God thinks. Be comfortable with who you are and know your worth. What people choose to do or say about you is a reflection on them, not you. When you are ignored, snubbed, or mistreated by others, don’t waste a minute of your time being upset or even offended. Instead, praise God for revealing their true characters and then pray for them. The Bible says in Matthew 5:44, “But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” Someone once said, "Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.” Sadly, letting go is a huge struggle for many people. Mareez Reyes, a famous poet, put it this way: “One of the hardest lessons in life is letting go. Whether it's guilt, anger, love, loss, or betrayal. Change is never easy. We fight to hold on, and we fight to let go.” But holding on to a bucketload of bitterness will not only rob you of all peace and joy on this earth but also in the earth to come... because you won’t be there. God clearly says in Matthew 6:14-15, “For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” Let go of all the hard feelings and choose to forgive, forget, and move on with Jesus. You’ll feel like a ton of bricks were just lifted from your shoulders. Choose to be an encouragement to others, especially those who mistreat you. The choice does not belong to fate - it belongs to you. Instead of treating them as they deserve, show kindness, patience, and love. You’ll be amazed at how fast God’s love will change hearts and prevent a bucketload of bitterness.

A False Convert

There are people who profess to be Christians but don’t truly understand what that really means. They have a “love” for God, but don’t grasp the concept of making God their highest priority. When you fall in love with Jesus, you make Him first in your life, not second, third, or fourth... but number one! Your love for God comes before your parents, your spouse, and even your children. God wants your love for Him to supersede everything and everyone else, including yourself! If you’re not willing to deny yourself, you can’t be a Christian. You are either a slave to sin or a slave to Christ. Simply put, you can’t serve two masters; you must choose who you will serve. Matthew 6:24 tells us, “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other.” If you choose to be a lover of sin, your life will end in destruction, but choosing to be a slave to Christ will give you eternal life. God wants you to say no to the devil’s temptations and discipline yourself to obey the voice of the Holy Spirit. Make no mistake, the life of a surrendered Christian is a difficult one. Satan will try everything he can to discourage you in efforts to separate you from Jesus. There will be times when you are lonely, persecuted, ridiculed, and labeled as a failure, but don’t give up. Stay true to your convictions and faithfulness to Christ and great will be your reward. On the other hand, if you like living your life of sin and want to keep things just the way they are, you are not a Christian, just a false convert. Unwillingness to change will cost you your salvation. Some people rationalize, “I’ll go to heaven because I’m a good person,” “I’m not breaking any laws,” or “God knows my heart,” but God will not listen to any of your excuses. Plain and simple, you will be lost. Without a surrendered heart, you will not only have a miserable existence here on earth, but also in the earth to come, because you won’t be there. Surrender your whole heart to Jesus today, by making Him “number one” in your life . . . today and every day! Text: James 4:7, Colossians 3:17, John 15:5, Galatians 2:20

Just What the Doctor Ordered

When people become ill, the first they do is make an appointment with their doctor. And if he doesn’t know what’s wrong, he will send them to a specialist, and sometimes it takes many different doctors in order to reach the correct diagnosis. It may take weeks or even months to get an appointment with the doctor that’s needed. However, there is one Doctor and only One, who has a “No Waiting Line” policy! You don’t have to make an appointment in advance, and no referrals needed. No patient goes unseen, and no insurance is required. In fact, all treatment is free of charge! Best of all, He is the Greatest Physician who knows absolutely everything and has all the answers to whatever is ailing you! Who is this incredible Physician, you ask? Well, His name is God! Be sure and get a daily spiritual checkup by spending time with Him. Tell Him all about how you are feeling, not just physically, but emotionally, and spiritually as well. God loves you so much and cares about every aspect of your life - which includes your physical health, too! But don’t just seek God when you are sick - maintain a healthy, happy life by receiving His energizing boost of Holy Spirit power with your daily check up, giving you the strength and courage to face whatever life brings - in fact . . . It’s just what the doctor ordered!

God is Enough

All too often, people go through life without any thought of the future - living in the moment and partying their life away. They are so focused on “self” that they become oblivious to the wants and needs of anyone else. But this is not only a meaningless and lonely existence, it is also a dangerous slippery slope. Before you know it, you become just like the prodigal son in the Bible, who lost everything and hit rock bottom before he looked up and saw his need for a Savior. It’s when you have nothing left that you realize . . . God is enough! Only a life for Christ will bring everlasting happiness. Stop living for “self,” and start living for Jesus! It is the only way to live a “joy-filled” life that God wants you to have! So no matter how selfishly you have lived in the past, what mistakes you’ve made, or how long it has been since you attended church, it’s not too late to give your heart to God, for He loves you more than anyone else possibly could, and He is waiting to welcome you with open arms!

Just Be You

It’s human nature to seek out friends and develop relationships. People need to feel wanted, loved, needed, and appreciated. It’s as necessary for your health as it is to have air to breathe. However, when you’re rejected by someone you love, it can be downright devastating and leave you feeling worthless and unlovable. The truth is that not everyone is going to think you’re amazing . . . and that’s okay. There will always be people who, no matter how hard you try to please, will simply not like you. That’s just the way it is. But there will also be people who will love you passionately and be there for you through thick and thin. Don’t waste time worrying about the ones who reject you. The ones who love you, they are “your” people, so cherish them and just be yourself. Whenever a relationship ends, there are tears, heartache, and self-doubt. Questions arise as to what went wrong, and feelings of unworthiness often emerge. But before you beat yourself up about why you weren't good enough, ask yourself, “Do I really want to be with someone who doesn’t want me?” You’ll never have to negotiate your way into a heart that wants you there. One day, someone will walk into your life and make you see why it never worked out with anyone else, and it will all make sense. Instead of being bitter, angry, or resentful, pray for a kind, Christ-like spirit, even if the one rejecting you is mean and hateful. Pray to have eyes that see the best in people, a heart that forgives the worst, a mind that forgets the bad, and a soul that never loses faith in God. You cannot break a person who gets their strength from above, so lean on Jesus and allow Him to fill your heart with love and forgiveness, and remember God thinks you’re awesome... so just be “you.”

Invisible Bricks

It’s human nature to have a desire to be loved and accepted by others. But it’s important not to allow that longing to change who you are or what you stand for. Too many people, in an attempt to win friends, live their lives as “people pleasers,” worrying more about what others think than what God thinks. Author Jacob Nordby once said, “What an interesting little prison we build from the invisible bricks of other people’s opinion.” And oh, how true that is. Living to please people will keep you paralyzed with fear, never wanting to be yourself because you’re too afraid that you’ll disappoint someone or perhaps meet with their disapproval. Instead, be so connected to Jesus that you’ll become like a beautiful flower that doesn’t need the approval of another flower to bloom; it just blooms. It’s impossible to please everyone, and if you spend your life trying, you’ll live an empty, meaningless life. Don’t go with the flow; go where God wants you to grow. Remember, it doesn’t matter what other people think about you - it only matters what God thinks about you. The apostle Paul says in Galatians 1:10, “I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.” When you value the opinions of others over God’s, it’s actually a form of idolatry. The first commandment in Exodus 20:3 says, “You shall have no other gods before me.” Anything you put before God becomes an idol. Don’t stay in a prison built with invisible bricks. Instead, choose freedom by seeking approval from the only one that matters . . . your Creator, God.

Venomous Words

When you’re frustrated or angry with someone, it’s easy to lash out and say mean things. But before you speak one word, stop and think about the consequences. Remember that once those words leave your mouth . . . you can never take them back. Proverbs 18:21 tells us, “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” Words are powerful and can pe*****te the heart as quick and deadly as a poisoned arrow. Lifetime friendships can be broken, and relationships destroyed in an instant by venomous words spat out in the heat of the moment. Not only will others be hurt by your sharp tongue, but you will have dishonored God. The Bible says in Matthew 12:36-37, “But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” That’s a very sobering thought when you think about how many times you’ve said things that you are not proud of. Every word that comes out of your mouth is important to God. Don’t let your pride get in the way of your pursuit of peace. Kind words can melt the heart of the toughest person, so think before you speak. Not only will you feel good for taking the high road, but you'll have the awesome feeling knowing that you honored God. When you feel the temptation to spew out venomous words, quickly pray for the Holy Spirit’s strength to stay calm and respond in a Christlike way. Unrestrained anger can lead to sin, so sometimes it’s just better to say nothing and simply walk away. Nothing will bring you greater peace than doing “the right thing.” Take biblical advice in James 1:19-20, “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.”

Hidden Talents

You often hear people complain that God skipped over them when passing out the talents. They envy others who have musical abilities, speak publicly, cook, play sports, or have any other talent they don’t have. But everyone has God-given gifts, even if you don’t recognize or use them. It’s dangerous to compare your life with others because it can leave you discouraged, resentful, or even angry, and it will prevent you from being thankful for what you do have. God gives you the talents needed to fulfill His plan for you. In 1 Peter 4:10-11, we’re told, “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies, in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” And in James 1:17: “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights.” God wants you to use your talents to bring Him honor and glory and to bless others. So, instead of being disappointed with what you’ve been given, ask God to show you how to use them. The more you use them, the more He will give. The Bible says in Luke 12:48, “From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.” Romans 12:6 says, “Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith.” Thank God for every gift and pray for Holy Spirit's guidance to use each one according to His purpose.

The Love Left Behind

When someone you love passes away, the pain is indescribable. It doesn’t matter if death was expected or sudden; it isn’t until after they are actually gone that you fight the beast of finality. Nothing can prepare you, and no earthly remedy can stop the pain. Coming to terms with knowing you’ll never hear their voice again, or see them smile, or share a hug leaves a hole in your heart that no one but Jesus can fill. Somehow, you want to dig up every precious memory in the recesses of your mind for fear you may forget. You seek comfort by playing their last voicemail over and over just to hear their voice, or kneel by their grave, talking to them even though your rational self knows they can’t hear you. All the memories in the world won’t bring them back to life, and dealing with that reality is unbearable. Only Jesus can give you comfort and peace as He alone is the only “Healer of hearts”! Psalm 73:26 says, “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” Time is short and, oh, so precious, so don’t count your days but make your days count, for no one is promised tomorrow. Say “I love you” and say it often while you still can. Don’t let a day go by with bad feelings between you and your loved ones. How terrible it would be to have a fight and know that the last words they heard you say were hateful. When you lose someone you love, instead of trying to “live without them,” remember them and “live with the love they left behind.”

Pointing Fingers

Arrogance is one of the most repulsive character traits that a person can have, and one of the quickest ways to turn people off. Being around someone who has a high opinion of themselves is hard to tolerate from anyone, but even more so for those who claim to be Christians. Most arrogant people don’t have many friends because, quite frankly, their self-righteous attitude is hard to stomach. Pointing fingers at the flaws of others won’t win you a popularity contest, and it definitely is not an endearing quality. You’re entering dangerous territory when you focus on the sins of others, because you fail to see your own. It’s important to take a good look inward and evaluate honestly what you see. Do you look upon others with disdain, as if they are greater sinners than you? Are you critical and put people down, not just verbally but in your thoughts as well? Do you value your own opinion more than the opinions of others? Do you think you are better than everyone else? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are in need of spiritual cleansing and rebirth. Being a Christian means being “Christ-like,” with His godly character traits such as humility, gentleness, being loving and kind. You won’t find a true follower of Christ who is mean, critical, egotistic, or proud. Only Jesus has the power to change you, but you must desire and ask for a “heart change.” He won’t force you. Accountability feels like an attack when you’re not ready to acknowledge your own sinful behavior, but self-evaluation is necessary if change is to take place. And make no mistake, God will hold you accountable for your thoughts and your actions. Be humble and never entertain the thought for even one moment that you are better than anyone else, for the Bible says in Ecclesiastes 3:20, “All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return.” God created all men to be equal, and if you are to be a true follower of Christ, you won’t be pointing fingers at anyone - you’ll be humble, kind, and unselfish without any trace of arrogance. Surrender your life to Jesus today and ask Him to create within you a clean heart and a right spirit so you can serve Him with humility.
