Be a window.......

Good morning! I was talking to a friend yesterday and just being a sounding board. I must say that people are funny. I mean look at some of the reality shows about people living together and how things can be going good and then all of the sudden...... Dum, dum, dum..... drama! He said, she said, they said! Why do we or can we get caught up in it sometimes. Boy, if life was just rainbows and skittles, we would have it licked! Have you ever showered someone that has hurt you with compliments? Maybe, even make them #1 on your prayer list and not for a meteor to fall out of the sky and crush them, but for them to be blessed! That brings me to today's Bible verse. Let's dig into the good stuff.......

Bible verse: Acts 20:35 "...remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how He said, It is more blessed to give than to receive."

Here is a little check up of our hearts! Let's try this on for size, unhappiness comes from mirrors. Happiness comes from windows.  If you want to be miserable, then think about yourself first...what you want, what people are saying about you, what you ought to have done for you, how down you feel, how good you feel. Just focus on yourself.  Feeling good yet? If you are, then something is wrong. Selfishness and happiness just don't go hand in hand. If you are thinking it is better to receive than to give, you'll never be happy. You'll never experience the blessing of giving that Jesus taught. Hold out your hand and make a fist for at least one minute. Now, relax. Which feels better? Now imagine if your spirit is tight like that and how that will quench His work in your life. Basically, what I'm trying to say is, don't be a tight wad with your dough or your love! To quote Kristian Bush, "You can't take it with you when you go, never seen a hearse with a trailer hitch!" Have a super blessed day today!
