“In all circumstances, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;”

(Ephesians 6:16 ESV)

“Everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.”

(1 John 5:4 ESV)

1. These hard times, this pain, these lessons–one day they’ll be your strength, your awareness, your blessings.

2. Stop expecting honesty from people who lie to themselves. 

3. You’ll never look good trying to make someone look bad.

4. Save your explanations for those who are determined to understand you–give your silence to those who are determined to misunderstand you.

5. Your life is too short to be unhappy 5 days a week in exchange for 2 days of freedom.

6. Don’t be upset from people you don’t respect.

7. Life is tiring. Wanting life to be a certain way, but not having the confidence to make it that way is tiring.

Good lessons. I saw this on Facebook yesterday morning. Yes, I do find a few good things there.

The main question in life should be what Jesus would do in this situation? Ask that, then pray about. Ask Jesus what He recommends you do. Jesus will never steer you wrong, but you have to listen to Him. Jesus will tell you if you ask.

So ask Jesus today for whatever you need. He will answer you.

Have a blessed day, everyone.
