Devaluing

Matthew 10:31 (KJV)

[31] Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Substitutes

As Good As

Replacements

Counterfeit

Have Become The Rage!

But In The Midst of All This Change in Value It Left Many

Feeling Cheap and Feeling That

They're Not Worth Much!

When You Feel That You're Not Worth Much...

Then You Do Accordingly-

Not Much...

But When You Realize That To The Lord-

You're of Great Value!

You Increase That Unsaid Drive Within You To "Do Much"

And You Act Accordingly-

Of Great Value!

1 Peter 4:11

Whose Sins?

1 Peter 4:8 (KJV)

[8] And above all things have *(fervent charity) among yourselves: for *(charity) shall cover the **multitude of sins.

Charity-means love...

It's all too easy to assume the covering of our own sins!

But the Real Challenge and application here is that The Love you possess, will cover a multitude of sins committed *Against You!

By Others...

It's always easier to overlook an offense from out in that evil world-

But so much harder and almost impossible when the offense and hurt comes from within the circle of loved ones and friends!

The Reason Some Have Become-

Mean and Unforgiving

Is That They "Don't Like Themselves"

And They're Always Equalizing The World Around Them!

Poor, Insecure and Afraid-

They're Retaliating by Lashing Out!

When You Truly Love God-

Then There's No Need to

Love Yourself!

Because His Love is Enough

for Both of You!

1 Peter 4:11

Living The Lie

1 John 4:20 (KJV)

[20] If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

The Greatest of All Deceptions

Is When You Have Deceived Yourself...

No need to deceive anyone else!

If You Love God (The Creator)

Then You Will Love His Creations-

You Needn't Love All They Do

But If You Love God-

You Must Love Your Brother!

Then... Let God Judge and Handle His Business-

Without Your Help!

Gandhi once said:

"I'd be a Christian if it were not for the Christians.' "

Jesus said: You're a Liar!

If You Tell God "I Love You"

Then Hate Your Brother-

The word Hate can mean-

To love less... wow!

Less Than What?

Pray For That Person and Then Ask Yourself

Less than What?

1 Peter 4:11

Your Words Do Affect Others

Deuteronomy 1:28 (KJV)

[28] Whither shall we go up? *(our brethren have discouraged our heart), saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.

No Greater Example of Words Affecting Others-

Over 1 million People Were Historically and Permanently

Destroyed....

And Denied Untold Promises and Blessings!

A Travesty of Untold Consequences!

Because of One Negative (Personal Opinion) Statement...

Whether in Truth or Not,

Negative Cynical Words-

Destroy More Than The Speaker!

Spouses, Children and Friends

Can Be Ruined Out of What Comes Out of Your Mouth-

Regardless of Your Motive or

Helpless Knee Jerk Reaction to Harm!

What You Say Affects Many...

Collateral Damage-

Resulting from An Explosion of Your Own Doing...

Your Words Do Affect Others…

1 Peter 4:11

Fixing The Headwaters

James 3:10 (KJV)

[10] Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

Headwaters-

The Highest Part of A River or Stream...

"Where It Begins"

How That A Person Can Say Good Things-

And Then Cynical, Negative and Condescending Statements-

Is A Mystery To Me...

Why Is More Accurate Than How!

Because- The Source or Headwaters-

Filter Out The Bad Only Works As Long As The Filter Lasts!

But-

Change The Headwaters Then the River's Quality Changes...

No Need of A Filter!

Fix YOUR Spirit-

Then Blessings Only Will Come Out of Your Mouth...

The Problem Is Not Everyone Else nor Your Circumstances-

But Rather, Your spirit's Attitude!

PRAY- Until You Feel The Change in The Headwaters!

A Happy Man

Job 5:17 (KJV)

[17] Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:

• Happiness Is Not Always In Receiving Gifts and Favors…

• Happiness Is Not Always Getting Your Way

• Happiness Is Not Always Getting Away With Something

• Happiness Is Not Always Everyone Agreeing With You

• Happiness Is Not Always Everyone Liking You

True Happiness-

Is Knowing That God Cares Enough To Correct Us

And Loves Us Enough To Chastise Us…

True Happiness Is The Reality

“I Am Safe” Because He Loves Me Enough To Hurt me At Times…

No More Torment

1 John 4:18 (KJV)

[18] There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

We Must Be Made Perfect (complete) With Love...

Not Even Those Who Faced The Inquisitions and Death, It was Recorded.... Feared!

It's Not The Will of God For Christians to FEAR...

Fear Has Torment and God Wants His Children Not To Be Tormented in Their Mind or Soul!

Be Secure and Have Faith In God Today!

Everything is In His Hand.

And When Your Love for Him Becomes Perfect-(complete),

That "LOVE" Will Cast Out Fear!

Work on Your Love for Him...

Then Everything Else Will Take Care of Itself...

NO MORE TORMENT
