Baggage

By Kay Heitsch

It's high time I ditched negative baggage. ~ Get Rid of Negative Baggage Quotes ~

This morning, I deleted a lot of things from my phone and emails. I received a message that I was almost out of space.

How much baggage do we carry that we don't need and we should get rid of?

Our Bible verse says. Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. Ephesians 4:31&32

What if we got rid of all these negative behaviors and instead focused on being kind, tenderhearted, and forgiving? I believe we would be a lot happier.

It's high time I ditched negative baggage.

Seriously Enough

By Kay Heitsch

Death and life are in the power of the tongue. Most of us have never taken that seriously enough. ~ Death And Life Quote ~

I wonder how many people take the power of life and death in the tongue seriously. We say whatever we feel and never realize that we will pay the consequences of our words.

Our Bible verse says. The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences. Proverb 18:21 NLT

We will reap the consequences of our words. If we talk negatively or positively about our lives, we will reap the consequences. We'd better start taking this seriously.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue. Most of us have never taken that seriously enough.

When you're a Christian, you have the spirit of joy inside you because one of the fruits of the Spirit is joy.

Look For The Good

It's a matter of what we look for; that's what we see. It's not hard to see the negative things in life. But if we truly want to see the good, we need to take the time to notice it.
