Today's Thoughts/Prayers

People Choices - by my pastor, Mark Evans, New Life Church, Trumbull, CT I posted this in my blog today because I think that he wrote this with ME in mind! LOL! (Probably NOT, but that's the thought I had as I read this today). See if it speaks to you too. When God wants to bless you, He puts a person in your life....When Satan wants to destroy you, he puts a person in your life. Today's Word Can two walk together, except they be agreed? ~Amos 3:3 Today's Thought You can't partner successfully with somebody who doesn't share your goals. When you feel passionately about something, but the other person feels complacent, it's like you're dancing the Macarena with somebody who only wants to Waltz. You picked the wrong dance partner! Never walk anywhere with anyone who doesn't share your passion for what you're doing together. Some issues can be corrected through teaching and leadership - but you can't teach somebody to care! And if they don't care, they'll affect your environment, ruin your productivity and break your rhythm, with constant criticism and complaints. It's a mistake to use optimism or pressure to force somebody into accepting your goals. They can't run on your fuel or become what they're not, simply because you want them to or believe they can. They must have their own motivation or they'll drain you! The key to recognizing the right relationships for your life is - listening! People know themselves better than you do, and they'll generally tell you who they are before you get involved with them. But you've got to listen. If you fail to hear their self-assessments or their confessions because you're too busy giving them your positive-thinking, "Oh-no-that-can't-be-true" speech, you'll miss what you should be hearing. Listen to them - and to the Spirit of God that's within you - and you'll save yourself years and tears of secret disappointment. Today's Prayer Father In Heaven; Teach me to Listen to Your Guidance; Give me confidence to trust what "I" hear. I know that I am who I hang out with! So lead me to the "Right" relationships for me and Your plan. Direct me by Your Holy Spirit! In Jesus Name. ~Amen. Walking, and praising and trusting my Lord for the rest of my life

This makes a lot of sense. And if it's coupled with God's guidance concerning His choice for you, will save you a lot of unnecessary heartache. Walking, and praising and trusting my Lord for the rest of my life

Listen to them - and to the Spirit of God that's within you - and you'll save yourself years and tears of secret disappointment. Agreeing with your prayer. Not everyone is well yoked. Even two Christians can very easily be going different directions. What is grace to one is sin to another. Walking, and praising and trusting my Lord for the rest of my life
