Showing kindness is a universal and spiritual law. When we break this law we unfortunately must pay the penalty for doing such. This is not what God wants for us. He wants to give us goodness but it is hard to do that when we are breaking spiritual laws that command us to love and be good to each other. In this episode I talk about the consequences of breaking the will and spirit of other human beings and the catastrophic spiritual damage that we unleash for ourselves and our lineage when we do. Forgiveness is the antidote for pain inflicted by someone else. Forgiveness frees us from entering that perpetual cycle of "hurt people who hurt others because we've been hurt." Forgiveness is the tool we use to break free from the pain that others try to inflict on us. Forgiveness is the key to overcoming offenses and continuing to grow in grace. Being Kind to others and ourselves creates protection, peace, and growth in every area of our lives. Show mercy, show compassion and forgive quickly. Shalom.

In life we will run into situations, people, circumstances and even our own thoughts that are negative, angry, bitter and unhappy. We will wake up to thoughts of dread, confusion, sadness, resentment and regret because; this is just life. But we have the power of choice. We have the power to choose what we will focus on, who we listen to and believe, and who we allow ourselves to become. Just because a bitter unpleasant experience or thought is presented to you doesn't mean you must accept it. Choose better! Choose to be better than that bitterness that is being presented to you. Choose to be powerful, choose to be victorious, choose to be joyful and full of love. Choose to see yourself as healed, prosperous, whole and abundant reflection of the Almighty God. You have so much power because of your connection with the Almighty God. You have the power to tread upon dragons and scorpions (psalm 91). Choose to tap into this power every day and watch these powerful things begin to manifest in your life. I love you. God loves you.Be Powerful! Choose better!

Is there a perfect time to give thanks: To be thankful? I used to think the only time to be thankful is when things are going exactly the way I want them to go in my life.. But then I went through a season where absolutely nothing was going the way I wanted or thought it should go. So I didn't give thanks because there was (as far as I could see) nothing to be thankful for. However God reminded me of 1Thessalonians 5:18, which Declares that we should give thanks in all seasons of life. So in this episode I talk about the blessing of being able to give thanks in all things/seasons. It is a blessing and a gift to be able to give thanks when prayers seem to go unanswered and visions have not fully manifested. Give thanks today, tomorrow and Always. The perfect time to give thanks is NOW! Thank you for listening. I pray for continued Peace and blessings over us all.

Each day is a gift, we get to fill it with anything we'd like to; just like a cup. Whatever we choose to fill our daily cups with should reflect the kind of day we wish to have. So, as God presents each new day to us let us be mindful of what we fill our days with. From the thoughts we choose to think to the words we choose to speak. Be aware that the things you choose to fill your cup with each day are the things you will be sharing with yourself, your family, your friends, co-workers and strangers. Each morning choose to fill your cup with faith instead of fear, trust instead of doubt, peace instead of worry, and love instead of hate. Don't forget to add LOTS of Joy! Thank you for listening and continue to Live Abundantly! ❤️

Our minds are constantly working during the day and even while we sleep. It is during this time our minds can pick up things that are harmful to it. Mental Waste. This mental waste gets trapped in our minds and begins to cause disease and mental illness. On this episode of Consider The Lilies we talk about different types of "Mental Waste" and ways in which we can excrete this mental and emotional waste before it causes dysfunction and disease. A body that is filled with waste cannot function properly; so it is with the mind. Thank you for listening. You are loved!

Suffering will find us all at some point in life. How we get through our times of suffering will either make us stronger or break us down even more. Whenever we face a time of suffering we must show ourselves an enormous amount of grace, love, gentleness and compassion. We must also give these things to people we see suffering. I hope you enjoy today's podcast. Be blessed and remember THIS TOO SHALL PASS!

This episode talks about the importance of remaining focused on God while you are in the breaking season or the waiting season or the changing seasons. Waiting is important and what's going to determine how quickly and effectively you get through each season is HOW you choose to wait and what you focus on during your waiting season. Philippians 4:8
