Morning Inspiration

I overheard T.D. Jakes this Morning. He was talking about how sometimes even when we grow, we sometimes get stuck in an old mindset, based on our culture and upbringing. The Egyptians wanted to be freed from Pharaoh. Even though they was freed later, Some thought living in slavery was better than living in freedom. They craved old foods, instead of the new Manna. All that complaining kept them stuck in the wilderness for 40 long, long years. The ones who entered the wilderness were not the same ones that came out of the wilderness.

We all are going through something right now. We are human. That's what we do. We all make mistakes. and We all have something to be grateful for daily.

Have a blessed day. --

Simply Jesus by Joseph M. Stowell

I read Simply Jesus by Joseph M. Stowell, in exchange for review from Blogging for Books. The book discusses living a life, simply for Jesus, versus others and self. There is a difference between knowing about God and knowing God. Everything in our lives is worthless, when compared to God. Our problems don't matter when compared to God.


Other highlights from the book:

When we get to know Jesus, we understand our purpose and worth more.
We should not flaunt our "goodness" because it hinders a relationship with Jesus
We should not expect medals for spiritual accomplishments
Trouble does not discriminate. We all have issues.
