Dear Beloved One,
Sometimes we can avoid trouble if we just don’t look too long. The longer you look the more vulnerable you become . Think about it!

Don’t Look Too Long
A Few Points On Courage
Dear Beloved One,
A few Sundays ago, I was able to hear a sermon on courage. It was called Courage for the Journey . I thought it would be great to share a few points from the sermon with you for life .
- Courage is fear that has said its prayers: This is true. Jesus said that God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and might ( 2 Timothy 1:7). So in times when it feels like fear is taking over , say your prayers
- Courage recognizes that fear is always there : It makes no sense to act like its not there. It’s the elephant in the room! Now that you’ve recognized it you can put your plan of action to master it , which is God’s Holy Word and prayer .
- Courage is the mastery of fear – Practice makes perfect. My music teacher would always tell me this when I would take a test and crash and burn. Her statement was so true. Practice of overcoming fear with courage means you have to practice facing the fearful things of life with God. Its the only way you will be able to stand before obtacles that seem 15 times larger than you .
- Fear will keep you out of danger but courage will support you in it. Since God has not given us a spirit of fear , we should not succumb to the devil’s( Satan , Lucifer) fear tatics to keep us from accomplishing our mission here on earth. Fear keeps you held up at a certain place in your life. I’m learning if you’ve never have the courage to face challenges then you’ll end up missing life. Some of the greatest historical events in life were spawned by people who had the courage to face danger.
I hope that this helps you as it has helped me!
Love,

It’s Time to Make a Decision
Dear Beloved One ,
If you find yourself at a crossroads between the Christian life and your old worldly life, you have to make a decision today. The new life (new you) is waiting for you to live it through but the old life( old you) is fighting to stay. You have to decide which path you are going to take for the rest of your life. It’s time to stop straddling the fence. If you are new to the Christian journey, let me be the first to tell you that some of the things you used to do you can not continue to do them anymore. That relationship that was toxic , you can’t continue to hold on to anymore. You see when you are in a relationship with Jesus Christ you have to understand that he has standards . He does not want half of you while the other half is still dedicated to something or someone else. He wants all of you.So which road will you choose? Choose wisely.
Love,

Thought :Just Because I Don’t Agree With You, Doesn’t Mean I Don’t Love You
Dear Beloved One,
Just because I don’t agree with you or your views doesn’t mean I don’t like or love you. It just means we don’t agree.
