Give thought to the character of individuals you keep company with...but first give thought to the character of individual you actually are...too often an (A ) character person will spend the bulk of their time amidst a (C) character person, because it seems more appealing, and they slowly start to believe themselves to also be a (C) character...but can never really commit to either character....so their time can be often wasted floating between the two traits...and settling on a (B) average character but always craving the (A) character life results...Never realizing that the (A) character trait was always their true calling, and the answer to their truest hearts desire...be careful that the company you keep isn't just a distraction keeping you from your truest self

THANK YOU… comes from a place of gratitude…it partners itself with a mindset of appreciation. But the words “Thank You” can fall on an unreceptive ear when the act or action warranting the ‘thank you‘ is performed involuntarily. One of the unfortunate by products of too many unaccepted ‘thank you’s’ , is too little ‘thank you’s‘ offered, even when rightly warranted. It can become easy to believe that our goings and comings and doings are all mindless actions offering no real significant form of joy or pleasure, or even meaning…essentially Anyone could have performed the chosen act of kindness…thereby disconnecting all emotions or feelings from the action that would warrant a genuine ‘Thank You’. ( A Perspective).
THANK YOU…comes from a place of gratitude…it partners itself with a mindset of appreciation. This life is a constant training ground in relationships…one towards another trains us how to properly respond to Our Father Which Art in Heaven…the first of the lesson begins with a heartfelt ‘Thank You’.
Gratitude leads to Praise and Worship and Honor and Reverence…Every action of kindness should be viewed from the lens of Christ Jesus, and done with a voluntary heart as though unto the LORD Himself (Col 3:23-24) …therefore every action should be performed with great joy and pleasure…because NO act of kindness or rendering of help is mindless. We are each Chosen for a very specific and precise action of good…Each place of need is designed, designated and appointed for a specific individual who is assigned to that precise need. “Thank You“, now takes on a whole new meaning, because it is directed at the Spirit of God. Acts 17:28 KJV/NIV For in HIM we live and move and have our being… (THE PERSPECTIVE).
When you make a choice in your own might (no matter how noble or well intended) …given time and pressure you will look to others to carry the choice you made, with or without their consent, with no thought to their ability or resources …But when a choice is made, and continuously made under the guidance of Our Father which Art in Heaven…there will be no desperate desire, or strong arm unrest in seeking others to carry the choice you made…No need to look to the left or the right…God will send appropriate help and resources as needed when we seek, ask, knock of HIM.
Isaiah 30:21 Joshua 1:7-8….Proverbs 4:25-27… Deuteronomy 17:11...NIV/KJV
If the weight on your shoulder is wearing you down…remember you put it there…you can always place it in the Fathers hand…so stop whining about the pressures of life. Amen message to self.
Secrets are often the hiding ground of guilt, shame, self-loathing, and eventually self-destruction….it can also be the birthplace of our deepest insecurities…which we often unleash to the destruction of those around us. Subsequently, we take on a version of LOVE that is most often mired in manipulation, abuse (psychological/mental/physical/spiritual/emotional), threats, and obsession in an all out effort to feel in control. The unrecognized truth, in this twisted form of love, is its attempt to diminish the insecurities within oneself.
As my friend/father/Minister of the Gospel (France A. Davis) always says…”Be Careful Around these kind of folk”
