Where is That Key?

Now where is THAT key?.. 

“So often it happens that we live our lives in chains and we never even know we have the key”… verse from Already Gone by The Eagles. 

We tend to do many things out of love. 

There are many types of love. 

There is the love we have for our spouses, children, and family. 

We also have love for our friends, pets, community, and material things. 

We may even have a love for a hobby, sport, or a job. 

All of these are love, but different types of love. 

There is one more kind of love that we spend our lives seeking and it’s the unconditional love that God has for us. 

The tricky part is that because we are human, sometimes we are let down because we tend to expect unconditional love from our jobs, family, and other earthly things. 

The blessing is that we have the unconditional love living inside of us through the Holy Spirit. 

It’s ours for the asking if we can only quiet our minds and turn off our expectations and demands to receive it... 

Check your experience… 

“Patience, tolerance, understanding and love are the watchwords.” Big Book pg 118 

Lord, let us receive your unconditional love and know it’s the key to our relationships with self and others, AMEN. 

“Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.” 1 Corinthians 13:7 

Have a blessed day Y’all!

The Never Ending Gift

The gift that keeps on giving… 

Have you ever noticed that most folks have a thing or 2 that they are really good at and then some other things they are not so good at? 

Michael Jordan is probably one of the best, if not the best ever to play basketball, but he was an “OK” baseball player. 

There are quite a few famous and successful actors and actresses that cannot sing. 

I am pretty good with people, but tools and handyman stuff are like a foreign language to me. 

The point is that each of us has a God given skill that is a talent, and it is a spiritual principle that we should share it with others. 

Had Michael Jordan decided against playing ball after he was cut from his high school team, the world would have never got to enjoy his immense talent and passion for the game. 

We need to share our talents in an effort to help others. 

How’s that working out for you?.. 

Check your experience… 

“Giving, rather than getting, will become the guiding principle.” Big Book 128 

Lord, let us use the gifts and talent You have given us to help others, AMEN. 

“There are different kinds of gifts. But it is the same Holy Spirit Who gives them. There are different kinds of work to be done for Him. But the work is for the same Lord. There are different ways of doing His work. But it is the same God who uses all these ways in all people. The Holy Spirit works in each person in one way or another for the good of all.” 1 Corinthians 12: 4-7 

Have a blessed day Y'all!

Your Cornerstone

Most of Y'all know I am neither a construction guy nor a fix –it repairman. 

So, I had to figure out why the Lord put this verse in my heart today as I studied His Word… 

“The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.” Luke 20:17 

Now according to the “Book of Google”, the cornerstone is that stone which forms the junction between the two most prominent walls of a building. 

From what I understand, without it, the building will not be very secure. 

What comes to mind is the question I constantly have to ask myself as I measure my motives and efforts in my daily walk. 

Is what I am doing, saying, thinking, or wanting, helping me to stay in God’s will, or is it guiding me to the illusions of my self- will? 

Is my foundation based on my cornerstone of faith or am I attempting to construct a free-standing wall based on self that will crumble? 

What foundation are you using to build on for your life? 

How’s that working out for you?.. 

Check your experience… 

“It has been repeatedly proven among us that upon this simple cornerstone a wonderfully effective spiritual structure can be built.” Big Book pg. 47 

 Lord let us anchor our life to our cornerstone of faith in You and Your Word, AMEN. 

 Have a blessed day Y'all! 

What if you had a person who coached and mentored you in building a better life?
