A Better Way...

Greetings!

There is a song that says, When I think about Jesus and what He's done for me, when I think about Jesus and how He set me free, I can dance, dance, dance all night. I love that song. Because it says exactly what I feel inside. Sometimes, life can get heavy and it's hard to maintain a good attitude when your problems are weighing you down. But, there is a better way!

When I focus my thoughts on Jesus...it does something to my spirit. I can't keep feeling bad, or sad, or angry. For me, it is impossible to praise and pout at the same time. When I start singing and praying God's word back to Him, it changes not only me, but it also changes the atmosphere around me and that affects everyone that comes in contact with me.

We choose how life is going to affect us. I'm not saying that we won't have bad days, we absolutely will. We are not living in this world alone, and dealing with people can be trying at best, but God calls us to love one another in the good times and in the bad times. It's easy to love the loveable.

If you mistreat me, I still have to love you...not because I want to, but because that is what I am commanded to do. I love the Lord more than I dislike what you may do to me. I have learned to let God fight my battles because He always wins.

We just have to trust the God who created it all to create a better way for us.

Until next time...

Be blessed
