ONE STATEMENT, FEBRUARY 1-28, 2025
"PEACE: We
can't just say it; because it will show-- in how we treat people, how we view
life, and how we respond to life's challenges and triumphs."
"Loving
the unloved and the prejudiced is one of the purest forms there is."
"A true
giver is often left with very little to almost nothing for themselves; but soon
learn and realize that these are actually more than enough, with plenty more
coming."
"Truly
successful people have mastered the arts of right timing, pacing, and
pausing."
"In these
days when we are being programmed to believe the lies and doubt the truth, the
one truth remains: we all need God--His presence and power in our lives--to
stay sane, to be humane."
"There's
no buts and ifs, we either live it or we don't: for our lives to have
substance, God's love is all we need."
"Truth
hurts, but it helps and heals."
"Wisdom is
known by the words we speak, whether face-to-face, or online."
"Sometimes,
we are treated less than we deserve. But that is not reason to stop being
humane, afford others respect, and a respectful distance."
"Whatever
and however you believe Him and His work to be, your faith in our Saviour's
work is manifested best by empathy."
(That is, don't
be a burden, nor a show-off. Be the light that dispels doubts; be the breath of
fresh air that banishes worry.)
"Love is
giving, and giving way; mindful, and minding one's own; and respecting one's
self and others in the same degree."
"We're not
invisible in our Heavenly Father's eyes."
"God's
ways are higher, always better, never a burden nor a bother."
"When
fishing for souls, one can't reel people in. We have to cast our bread upon the
waters first, before there is a return."
"Let us
invite and welcome people into our lives as friends and co-travelers in our
journey; not as religious, emotional, social, or financial uplinks to whatever
pyramidal cause, clique, or congregation we want to be acknowledged for and
validated by."
"Those who
believe only in their own (and their clique's and supporters') right,
rightness, and righteousness, are only looking at their own noses... They will
soon go 'cross-eyed'".
"Love
starts with the language of caring."
"Thankfully,
our Heavenly Father looks at the heart."
"When we
focus our sights on whom we ultimately are working for, we can't let ourselves
be distracted by comparing ourselves with others."
"Thankfully,
our Heavenly Father's kingdom has room for everyone, and plenty of space for
more."
"This
then, is how we know, if indeed our upbringing and education went well, and our
faith proclamations are true: if we can be kind, and respectful (especially of
private space and rights) to the stranger, to those who look, think, believe
and act differently than we do."
"No one
who truly believes they are citizens of an eternal, heavenly kingdom, will let
themselves be bound or enslaved by selfishness, greed, pride, trends, fashions,
habits, attitudes, characters, mindsets, and dependence on the systems and
politics of this world."
"I hope
it's enough to fuel our day;
We need no more
than the love of our Heavenly Father to light, inspire, strengthen, and guide
us all the way."
