I shall pass this way but once; any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.

“Scripture is like a River…broad and deep; shallow enough here for the lamb to go wading but deep enough there for the elephant to swim.”
Gregory the Great

"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant , and a time to pluck up what is planted;
a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and time to cast away;
a time to tear; and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace."
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
Whatever time it is in your life right now, remember to lean on the Lord. He will rejoice with you and He will hurt with you. He will guide you through the storm and love you all the way.
Have a blessed day

My soul clings to the dust;
give me life according to your word!
When I told of my ways, you answered me;
teach me your statutes!
Make me understand the way of your precepts,
and I will meditate on your wondrous works.
My soul melts away for sorrow;
strengthen me according to your word!
Put false ways far from me and graciously teach me your law!
I have chosen the way of faithfulness;
I set your rules before be.
I cling to your testimonies, O Lord;
let me not be put to shame!
I will run in the way of your commandments when you enlarge my heart!
Teach me, O Lord, the way of your statutes;
and I will keep it to the end.
Give me understanding, that I may keep your law and observe it with my whole heart.
Lead me in the path of your commandments,
for I delight in it.
Incline my heart to your testimonies,
and not to selfish gain!
Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things;
and give me life in your ways.
Confirm to your servant your promise,
that you may be feared.
Turn away the reproach that I dread,
for your rules are good.
Behold, I long for your precepts;
in your righteousness give me life!
Psalm 119:25-40

Have you been changed by grace? Shaped by grace? Strengthened by grace? Emboldened by grace? Softened by grace? Snatched by the nape of your neck and shaken to your senses by grace?....Grace is the voice that calls us to change and then gives us the power to pull it off.

"For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another." Gal 5:14-15

As you journey through your day keep in mind that those around you are your neighbors. The clerk at the store, the co-worker that drives you nuts, they neighbor who parks their car in front of your house and yes the family member that always argues with you. We may not always see eye to eye with everyone but God calls us to love all of them as he loves us. Give someone Christ's love through your smile today!

There is something in you that God loves. Not just appreciates or approves but loves. You cause his eyes to widen, his heart to beat faster. He loves you. And he accepts you. Max Lucado

"Long ago, even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. And this gave him great pleasure. Eph 1:4-5 NLT

God dispenses his goodness not with an eyedropper but a fire hydrant. Your heart is a Dixie cup, and his grace is the Mediterranean Sea. You simply can't contain it all. So let it bubble over. Spill out. Pour forth.

When grace happens, generosity happens. Unsquashable, eye popping bigheartedness happens!! Max Lucado

"Freely you have received, freely give." Matt. 10:8
