Spreading God's Love Thru Prayer
SEEING YOURSELF THE RIGHT WAY
TOO MANY OF US HAVE MADE IT OUR LIFE'S WORK TO CHANGE SOMEONE ELSE'S OPINION OF US. WE'RE DETERMINED TO PROVE TO THEM THAT WE'RE VALUABLE. NOW, YOU CANT BE LIKE THE GUY WHOSE REMARK WAS, ''I LIKE TALKING TO MYSELF, BECAUSE I LIKE DEALING WITH BETTER CLASS OF PEOPLE.'' BUT NEITHER CAN YOU BASE YOUR WORTH ON THE OPINIONS OF THOSE WHO PUT YOU DOWN. WHEN HARRY TRUMAN WAS THRUST INTO THE PRESIDENCY BY THE DEATH OF FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT, SAM RAYBURN, SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, TOOK HIM ASIDE AND SAID, ''YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE AROUND YOU. AND THEY WILL TELL YOU WHAT A GREAT MAN YOU ARE, HARRY. BUT YOU AND I BOTH KNOW YOU AIN'T''. AS IT TURNED OUT, TRUMAN BECAME A TRULY GREAT PRESIDENT. UNTIL YOU QUIT AGREEING WITH THOSE WHO'VE MISTREATED YOU, OR BOWING TO THE EVENTS THAT CRIPPLED YOU EMOTIONALLY, YOU'LL REMAIN LOCKED IN A PRISON OF YOUR OWN MAKING. WHEN YOUR CRITIC'S OPINION BECOMES YOUR OPINION, YOU'VE BUILT A PRISON INSIDE YOUR SOUL WITH ONLY ONE PRISONER; YOU. ARE YOU PREPARED TO ACCEPT THAT SOME OF THE PEOPLE YOU'VE SPENT YOUR LIFE TRYING TO IMPRESS, MAY NEVER BE IMPRESSED? AND CAN YOU ACCEPT FROM GOD'S PERSPECTIVE: IT DOESN'T MATTER? TO SUCCEED IN LIFE YOU MUST BE ABLE TO WORK ALONGSIDE PEOPLE WITHOUT ALLOWING YOURSELF TO BE CONTROLLED BY THEIR MOODS OR GOVERNED BY THEIR OPINIONS. THIS WHAT PAUL WAS TALKING ABOUT WHEN HE SAID, ''AM I NOW TRYING TO WIN THE APPROVAL OF MEN, OR OF GOD? IF I WERE STILL TRYING TO PLEASE MEN, I WOULD NOT BE A SERVANT OF CHRIST.''

Lord, prayers lifted for Your precious child, Man of Valor...during this change of season. The path of life these days is not an easy walk. Lord, prayers lifted that it be Your strength that carries him through. Lord, may You rain peace down upon this child of Yours as he presses on. Lord, may it be Your rainbow of hope and love that lights his path. Lord, may he hear Your whispers in the winds...I love You and I am with You. Lord, as the drums of time beat...may we hear it from our hearts and keep in step with Your message. Whisper...the message of love. Lord, I know that Your arm and reach have no limits....Lord, please touch and hold this family and let them know that they are not alone. Lord, praises lifted that You hear and will answer. E-me-nv... ay-may-nuh , which is Cherokee for Amen.

Let us take a close look at the word,"Opinion". Where did it come from. The Lord said," I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people which walketh in a way that is not good, AFTER THEIR OWN THOUGHTS; A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face"(Isaiah 65:2,3). Lucifer, son of the morning, through his opinion of God's word convinced a third of the angels to follow him, and was put out of heaven. In the Garden of Edan, the serpent's opinion of God word got the put out of the garden. The Lord said "Your thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways"(Isaiah 55:8). "Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin"(Isaiah 30:1). Why is it in Matthew 23 Chapter, Christ condemn the scribes and pharisees, and in the 33verse he said "Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?", could he be referring to the over 600 opinionated amendment they had made to the laws that God had given Moses? "I am the Lord; that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images" (Isaiah 42:8). With each of God's promises to us, there is an unspoken phrase to his free-will, that phrase is,"BUT IF YOU DON'T". "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness and all these things SHALL be added unto you", the silent phase in that is if you don't seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, he can make you lie down in green pasture, or lead you beside the steel waters, becouse, "with out faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him"(Hebrews 11:6). "Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool"(Isaiah 66:1). Consider the fact, that we live at the feet of The Lord, and the hem of his garment is hanging all around us, but we are so wrapped up in our own opinions, and thoughts as the storms of life come upon us that we can't reach up and tough the hem of his garment that we can be delivered from the burden that bare us down. Praise him in the storm as well as in the bright sun and watch Christ make the difference, acknowledge him in all your ways and watch him direct your path.
