We shouldn't view haters as a indicater of us doing something wrong but something wrong in them. Haters teach us about ourselves and others about us. Haters are valueable.

Many times we thinks that clicks, gangs and posse are only in high schools but they never leave. They marture into people into our work force and in all of life. Who we have around us will determine who we become and where we go.

Mark 2 : 1-12

Often time we set goals and have expectations and these can impact our relationshops if we lose sight of why we ae doing it. It is the "why" we do that motivates the "What" we do. We cannot lose sight of that.

Life is hard. I believe sometimes we expect it to be easy and when it isn't we get upset and mishandle things. We have to understand that life is hard and that believing in God doen't provde short cuts but hope.

Many of us have our own convications and thats okay. However it becomes problematic when we make our conviction the standard and require those around us to take on our own convictions as their own.

Is regret good?

There's grace for regret but that doesn’t exempt you from working out of the spot you got you self in. God will guide but the work is how we learn.

Grace is the way out that we don’t deserve, it’s however not a removal of consequences.

I used to believe that faith was believing whatever you wanted and expecting it to just happen and not planning or caring how it happened.

My hope was greater than my faith. I would hope things would Happen not having done the work. See faith is believing God will do what he said he would do, not what you want done.

All of God’s promises have a clause:

Faith is an action word and we should be acting on what we hope to happen based on the Bible and not or imagination.

When you want to make big changes we must choose to change how we view things and what you view important.

We so often view the external appearance as more important because we get an immediate reaction or response. This response will only

Regardless of those none of those require real work, real change and aren’t long last.

The real work is internal. It will require us to work hard and being better and not looking. better. Being healthy and not just the look of healthy. Having healthy relationships and not just the look.

The look and appearance should no longer be enough we should to the internal changes that will Last long and grow us.

When we rely on simple quick external changes we risk greater damage by not actually working to healing.

What we do external will determine what work we do internally.

There are sometimes I consider myself or my skills or what’s in my possession, not enough for God to use or multiply.

These thoughts limit how God can use us. We must always remember God can multiple the small to the great and go beyond the laws of man and physics.

God knows no bounds and we can’t put our bounds on God.

Many of us hit roadblocks internally, maybe this was something we were told about ourselves. This could've been told to us by life, family, past relationships, past failure and even ourselves. God is Greater.

When we hear these negative thoughts, or come to these internal roadblocks, we have a choice to make. Resign and give truth to those thoughts or go against them and test them so we know for a fact. God doen't want us to resign, he wants us to fight for the truth.

When we give into these thoughts and view these roablocks as dead ends and not roadblocks(which can be moved) we give these thoughts truth and that's who we become.
