Freedom

by Kay Heitsch

Freedom is not getting everything you want, but being happy when you don't get what you want. ~ Quotes ~

If we can't be happy unless everything is going our way we are in big trouble.

What freedom we have if things don't go our way and we can keep a positive attitude anyway. We can choose to not live by negative emotions!

Our Bible verse says, "This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24 NLT

I like how this verse says, "we will." We have the freedom to choose how we want to live. We have the freedom to be happy no matter if things don't go the way we want.

Don't Go With Them

by Kay Heitsch

When things go wrong, don't go with them. ~ Quotes ~

It's interesting how we are at times. When things go wrong, we think about the thing that went wrong over and over. In other words, we go along with them.

Our Bible verse says, "No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead. Philippians 3:13 NLT

To keep from going with the things that go wrong we can stop thinking about those things. We can forget the past and start looking forward to what lies ahead.

P.U.S.H.

by Kay Heitsch

When all seems dark P.U.S.H. Pray/Praise Until Something Happens!

There's a quote that says, Pray Until Something Happens, but I like to pray prayers of praise until something happens.

When we pray prayers of praise we are thanking God that He is working and we are waiting expectantly for the answer. This keeps us positive while we're waiting.

Our Bible verse says, "Enter His gates with thanksgiving; go into His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him and praise His name." Psalm 100:4

When all seems dark we can pray prayers of praise! We can thank the Lord and keep a good attitude knowing that He is working on our situation.

Count Your Own Blessings

by Kay Heitsch

Jealousy is when you count someone else's blessings instead of your own. ~ Quotes ~

Jealousy is harmful to our health. Our Bible verse says. "A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones." Proverbs 14:30 NLT

Pretty obvious jealousy is very harmful to our health. Let's do our part to have a peaceful heart and count our own blessings instead of being jealous of someone else's.

Challenge Yourself

by Kay Heitsch

When life gets harder challenge yourself to be stronger. ~ Inspirational Quotes ~

We never know what a day will bring. It would be great if every day was easy, but that's not how life is. Sometimes happy and other times rough. When life gets harder we can challenge ourselves to be stronger.

I love our Bible verse today. "I have strength for all things in the One strengthening me." Philippians 4:13 BLB

When life gets harder we can challenge ourselves to be stronger because we know the ONE who gives us His strength.

A Positive Attitude

by Kay Heitsch

A positive attitude gives you power over your circumstances instead of your circumstances having power over you. ~ Attitude Quotes ~

There is little difference between people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude and the big difference is whether it's positive or negative. ~ W. C. Stone ~

Our Bible verse today helps us to know what kind of attitude we should have. "You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had." Philippians 2:5 NLT What kind of attitude did Jesus have? It was loving and kind. I'd say that is a positive attitude.

Our attitude whether positive or negative in life makes a big difference in how we live. When we keep a positive attitude we have the power over our circumstances instead of our circumstances having power over us.

Your Journey

by Kay Heitsch

Not everyone will understand your journey. That's fine. It's not their journey to make sense of. It's yours. ~ Wisdom Quotes ~

Life is a journey. We meet people along the way. Some are with us for a reason, season or they may be with us for a lifetime. Some may understand our journey or some may not. It doesn't matter. It's not their journey, it's ours.

We may not completely understand ourselves, but today's Bible verse helps us to know what to do. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take." Proverbs 3:5&6

Not everyone will understand our journey. We may even wonder sometimes what's going on. But when we trust in the Lord with all our hearts and seek His will in all we do, He will show us the path to take.
