Competition Steals JOY

Be very careful of competition! It will always deprive you of joy and happiness in what is already yours!

Do you know that no one else is like you, walks like you, talk like you, or can evoke an effect as you in the lives of the people in your life, or in any gathering!

Depravity of the mind can be cured! Seek healing!

You have your own aura, and no amount of negativity can affect that!

If you have to compete, do so with the version of who you were yesterday! Be better, do better, and be authentic!

Be conscious that there are people competing with you that you don’t even know about! Many are not happy with their lot in life!

Be civil! Stay focused! Love all! Hate no one! Watch who you allow to come close, stay close, and embrace!

Be smart! Remain joyful, and let your light shine!

Shalom!

Mind Governed By Flesh! Death!

What is governing my mind? What is governing yours friends? We do need to examine ourselves regularly so we are not deceived by the deceitfulness of sin.

It is so easy to be carried away with activities that nourish our flesh, our ego, while neglecting the concerns of God, his people, and choice possession.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation – but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. 13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die? But if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body you will live. 14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. Romans 8:12-14

We must live and breathe to please God by faith. A heart governed by the Spirit is not about self-aggrandizement but humble, modest, and selfless!

Father, you are our center, our hedges, boundaries, our all! Let us reduce that Christ may increase in us I pray in Jesus mighty name Amen.
