Enjoying Life...101

Enjoying Life 101...if you live for weekends, holidays & special occasions...you won't enjoy life. If you keep others at arms length, unwilling to compromise, insist on being right, reject correction & refuse to apologize -you won't enjoy life. If you're waiting on something to begin or end, a job or status to define you or relationship to complete you...you won't enjoy life. If you allow others to determine your thoughts, mood, actions, worth, value or purpose...you won't enjoy life. If you're stingy with your money or possessions, give others your leftovers, love conditionally & withhold affection...you won't enjoy life. If you hold onto blame, unforgiveness, envy or bitterness, compare yourself to others, are critical & negative, find it hard to laugh in general or at yourself...you won't enjoy life. If you're unwilling to admit weaknesses or defeat, deny insecurities, be vulnerable, have all the answers, hold onto regret & guilt, allow little room for error, difficulty asking for help & find it hard to forgive yourself…you won't enjoy life. When you seek God first, release your hurts to Jesus, trust the prompting of the Holy Spirit, renew your mind with the Word daily, believe God supplies all your needs & that His strength is perfected in your weaknesses, pray about everything, cast your cares, believe the Word more than your feelings, walk by faith & not sight, know God purposed & planned you long ago & that He will continue to do the good work He started in you until the day Jesus returns-then you will know the truth & the truth will set you free…and you will enjoy life!!!
