We all have choices, even when we can't see them. What will you choose? Will you choose selfish desires or living peaceably? Will you be open to reason?

Longsuffering could be seen as the opposite to short-tempered. We show longsuffering by our restraint when stirred to anger. God shows His longsuffering by being patient with us and giving us time to repent.

Jesus paid the price for my sin. I think of Simon who was compelled to carry Jesus' cross part of the way. If it were I, would I have felt compelled or counted it a pleasure?

How do you see your hardships?

Why worry? God has you. He feeds the birds and clothes the grass of the field. Are you not of much more value? O ye of little faith.

How do you handle correction? How do you give it? I think it is a sign of maturity. To receive the truth with a sense of understanding and present it to God for His revelation in your life.

Or do you, in response point out all the things they are doing wrong as well?

If Jesus is the center of my life, then everything should revolved around Him. You should see Jesus in everything I say and do.

That's how I want to live because I want the world to see Jesus, not me. I want the world to love the LORD.

Link to Jesus at the Center by Israel Houghton

Do you praise God from the time you rise in the morning to the time you retire at night? In the big and insignificant things?

Let's give God endless praise

Check out Endless Alleluia by Cory Asbury

My Hypothesis: If I express gratitude every time I want or am anxious about something, I will want less.

I believe gratitude puts things in perspective and it's the antidote for anxiety.

Who's first in your life? Where do you give your time? Is God your first choice or your last resort?

Funny Abbot and Costello skit.

Not to the left or right, looking at what others have or what they are doing. Remember to look up to God and out towards the path he has laid for you.
