James W. Inspirational Thoughts

  Sometimes you don't realize how much weight you're carrying around until you release those certain individuals out of your life. Its not mandatory that you carry around that excess baggage just for the sake of carrying it around with you. Release that ankle weight from around your ankles and free yourself up to live your life, your health depends on it.

  Have you ever met a person with great intellect, that will bait you into answering questions only to hold it against you? They'll (pretend) to have your best interest at heart because you've peaked their level of interest. Its at that point they'll ask you a question your spirit is telling you not to answer while you ponder your thoughts. This is where deception becomes a major player in trying to coerce you into revealing information you've been reluctant to give. Its truly amazing how some people will go to great lengths to humiliate you with your own words.

  If you lack confidence in your prayers, what's left? If you don't trust your prayers, who do you trust? Friends? Family? Who? You probably don't even trust yourself half the time, who knows? If your prayers aren't being answered, its not the Lord that's the problem, its (you).

  Without a plan what do you have? You can't sit around and assume things will fall into place on the merits of you being a good person. Truth be told its literally thousands of homeless people that were good people. Wait, correction, (are) good people. Your status in life is not the true indicator of who you really are, it means nothing. Heck anybody can hide behind nice garments, white teeth, houses and nice cars, so don't kid yourself into thinking material possessions will give you an automatic ticket to heaven, because it won't. Are you aware that the most honorable and giving people are the people that are invisible to the general public? Charitable people do not make themselves known, nor will tell you of their contributions to life itself.

  Sometimes its the itty bitty small things that make the biggest impact in our lives. So big that once its removed or eliminated out of our lives, its impact reveals itself shortly afterwards. Be very careful with the choices you make, and not allow your desires to impact your necessities. If what you have is already working, why tamper with success? Stop trying to recreate what's already working and just leave well enough alone.

  Mercy has been given to us throughout our journey in life, sparing us despite our struggles and minor setbacks we've encountered. We owe the Lord all the glory for continuing to have mercy on our souls. However, the one thing in life that shows no mercy, no remorse, and no favoritism towards any human being in life, and that's (time). Time shows no mercy on anyone, and never will. We must enjoy each day as if its our last, and cherish those special moments that life gives us. Have you looked yourself in the mirror lately? Time is definitely not your friend, its your enemy.

  If you have someone in your life that's cut your back out at some point in the past and you're still affiliated with them, ask yourself why? Why would you associate yourself with someone like that? If they did it once they'll do it again, and they'll never have anything good to say about you, so why not disconnect yourself from these type individuals? Life is far to short, people are passing away every 10 seconds of the day, and tomorrow isn't promised to you. You're better served simplifying your life, love yourself, love life, and appreciate the Lord for allowing you to be here today.
