More and more I’m discovering that it is possible to be annoyed and anointed at the same time. Life isn’t in absolutes. There are a moments when we are frustrated, aggravated and irritated. The key is to address issues with self control, maturity, grace, dignity and respect.

Everybody’s an expert on social media. So much bitterness and vitriol. Our opinions can reveal our unhealed hearts. Before we put everyone on blast, let’s make sure we’re not speaking from a wounded place. Social media is for being social. Let’s lighten up out there.

God is sovereign. He doesn’t always have to explain His decisions, justify His course of action, or answer my questions. He just says, “Go your way.” So, I’m left to continue doing what He has told me to do and trust that He has a plan. And that is enough. (Daniel 12:8-9)

So many people on social media are accusing people of being narcissists. Not every bad experience you have with someone means they are a narcissist. Some leaders are just confident, strong, decisive, and clear. Maybe you did have a poor experience and maybe this person did hurt you. But did you ever consider that your season with some have only exposed your weaknesses and that it is time for growth. This doesn’t excuse what people do to us, but everybody gets hurt. Everybody gets offended. Life is tough. Wear a helmet. What Jesus did for you is bigger than what people did you. Forgive, grow, and move forward already. Don’t drag bitterness into your next season.

Eve scoffed at the one tree in all of God’s vast garden that she could not partake. Thus, begun the unraveling. Grumbling over small, unfavorable things leads to error. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things God has given. A life of gratitude is a life of happiness and holiness.

Higher degrees and positions don’t come with respect. You have to earn it. People may admire you at first, but true honor and loyalty are gained over a lifetime of trust, credibility, and competency. There is no such thing as 20-year-old legends. #Leadership

The greater the success the higher level of stress. Learning how to manage your emotions is critical to growth. If you can’t handle it here you won’t be able to handle it there. (Jeremiah 12:5)

There will be mundane in the magic, problems in the possibilities, and even crisis in the crossing. Attempt the latter anyway.

🤣🤣🤣

So, then trying NOT to do all these things also makes me religious also. Correct? 😉

Amazing!

You will make significant strides in your #leadership when you decide to be about the Father’s business and not your business. So much time is wasted when we build kingdoms unto ourselves rather than putting our hand to what truly honors God and best helps others.

The unfathomable implications of these verses. Ponder them deeply. Believe them. Receive them.
