Desired Diamonds

Look at the gem I found!

This image pretty much sums up our desire to find something beautiful, and never knowing when or how close the beauty is; 

 never give up!!!

Testing

James 1:2-4

"Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well developed, not deficient in any way."

Actions speak louder than words. When you are facing a difficult situation, look at how your actions line up with your faith; in a testing moment, are you believing or stressing? It’s hard not to worry, but worry is not where our Lord wants us; HE wants us to pass the test by keeping our eyes fixed on HIM and HIS promises.

Quote & Thought

"Only by acceptance of the past can you alter it."
~ T.S. Eliot

The past is done. We need to learn how to let go of the past and learn how to move forward.

Don’t keep bringing the past into your present. You cannot undo events that have happened, but you do have control over one area that concerns the past; your mind. Make peace with your past.

Accept your past as a stepping stone to make you better. The quote is spot on…by acceptance and forgiveness is where your past will change. You’ll never physically change the past, but you can change the past mentally. Open the door of acceptance, forgiveness, and peace to your past.
