Having a Good Life is really about LOVING and GIVING. That's really what it all boils down to... It's not about toys, money, not even really about provision (although our God says He will supply our every need); it's not about what we can get... The Good Life is a life that leads with open hands and open arms... always ready to give.
I recently got back from a Women's conference in Red Deer, AB (www.oneinamillion.ca). It's an awesome conference and if you can, you should try to make it in October 2010. The speakers this year were Lee Grady & Margaret Stunt. Here are a just few tidbits from that conference that emphasize some things to keep in mind if you want to have a good life....
- Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and hoping the other person will die.
- Forgiveness does not make what the person did right, but it realeases you to be all that God has for you to be.
- LOVE COVERS! The Bible says that love covers a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8). If you are waiting to "like" someone before you LOVE them, you might be waiting for a very long time.
- It's not about whether people like you or not, it's about whether you are going to obey God or not.
- In the world there are lots of people with fame, power, money, lots of friends, etc. It's important to remember that as a Christian we don't need all those things they have to have a happy or good life; but they desperately need what we have whether they know it or not... The Good News!
Thanks for reading... =o)
