Everyone Matters

I want us all to open up our eyes to the reality of the world in which we live and in particular the way we view others. I want you to consider the following scenario.

A very wealthy and generous man is going on a luxury cruise. He has invited some of the most well know celebrities and some of the most prominent pastors who heads well established ministries to go along with him.  Before the ship sails he realizes there is still a lot of space and so he invites some homeless people from off the street. You are also invited.

Now each group of people is seated in separate sections but you can sit anywhere. Where would you choose to sit? I am taking a guess that that you would want to be with the celebrities or with the prominent pastors and sadly I must confess that I would probably choose either of these two groups too because let’s face it who wants to sit with a bunch of homeless smelly, people.

However let’s say out of nowhere there is a strong turbulence and you are thrown overboard, of the three groups who do you think will be the quickest to jump overboard to save your life. Do you think the celebrity will risk his life to save the life of someone who to them is nobody? Do you think that pastor with his mega-million ministry will shed his jacket and jump overboard to save you?

Sometimes it is the ones we overlook and disregard, the ones whose plight we pretend not to see, the ones we turn our nose up at and look upon with scorn, yes sometimes they are the very ones who will risk their lives to save ours.

Today’s Positive Quote

We all have issues, we all face problems at one time or another.  How we deal with them make all the difference. If we take a defeatist approach then we have already lost the battle. Today take a positive approach. Say no matter what comes my way, I will not give in, I will not quit, and I will overcome.”

Don’t Let Problems Define You

Life is never without problems but don’t allow your problems to define you. You have to dig deep and try to rise above your circumstances.

Failure can lead to Success

Too often we are held back by the limitations we place on ourselves.  Many times it can be done but self-doubt makes it impossible. The fear of failure is a shackle that will hold us back if we let it. The truth is that it may be necessary to fail sometimes in order to learn and grow and be successful in the end.

Be Positive

I love positive people, the ones who can look at a negative situation and say what can I learn from this. The ones who lift others up rather than tear others down. The ones who inspire their friends rather than waste time focusing on their enemies. The ones who see themselves as victors rather than victims.Stay positive my friends. The world need more positive people

Ladies don’t Demean each Other

My sisters I want you to know that God saw a purpose for our existence and thus he created us and He was pleased with His handiwork. Now there was viral video recently of a pastor demeaning women. According to him if a woman wears makeup, paints her nails or wear hair which is not her own that makes her a whore. He went on to tell the men in his congregation that if they are married to a woman who does that they are married to a whore.

I know that most of us are intelligent enough to know the definition of a whore and that these things do not make a woman a whore any more than her wearing tight or short clothing. Ironically instead of being outraged some women defended this man, believing themselves that a woman’s attire is what defines her. I was disappointed but not surprised because sadly woman are often the first to tear down other women.

While I believe that a woman ought to carry herself in a respectable manner and dress properly for church the garment she wears does not make her a whore. As women we need to lift each other up instead of tearing each other down because what is in your heart counts more than what is on your body.
