James W. Inspirational Thoughts

  Life can be very simple, yet fundamentally complicated despite its simplicity. For example, people respect money more than the person itself, imagine that. Another example would be the transparency of a person throughout their journey in life. Your level of patience in times of struggle when your finances have been exhausted. Or your behavior after you've made several accomplishments in attaining all the things you've always wanted in life. But the fact of the matter is, the simplicities of life seem very easy on the surface, until the realities of what its all about over shadows its innocence. Like Comment Share

  Sometimes enough just isn't enough in trying to accommodate those that seek help. They'll sensationalize irrelevancies that has nothing to do with your efforts to appease them. Perhaps its because you weren't congruent to the things they deemed important, making it virtually impossible to continue moving forward from that point, due to an over abundance of negative energy. Some people you just can't satisfy no matter how hard you try.

  Some people believe in Jesus, some don't. So for the sake of argument lets pretend his existence never happened, where would the world be today? Because you have to know, if not for Jesus, Adam's existence would be irrelevant, think about it. Especially seeing as it was Adam that was the first on the scene to comfort Jesus after his suffering. Its funny how those things intertwine doesn't it? It runs deeper than you think. Such deeds have often times manifested itself in modern times, with people you've long forgotten, rose from the ashes and was in your corner when you needed them most. History repeats itself.

  What would it take to awaken that little demon inside of you? Do you have any idea? Lets filter through a short list: Money, sex, peer pressure, alcohol, drugs, anger, pain, gambling, gossip, stress, depression, or maybe even a co conspirator in achieving an agenda? And please, don't kid yourself into thinking these demons don't exist within you, because they do, only they are lying in dormant. Smart money says 2:1 odds you can be coerced into awakening those demons. 10:1 odds says you can fight those demons. Perhaps we can be optimistic and go with those 10:1 odds you can fight through those demons by suppressing them with the help of the Lord.

  You need to stop kidding yourself into thinking this person you care so much about respects you. If you sit back and observe their actions, it will reveal everything it is you're looking for and then some. Its not about the money, its not about the sex, and its not about the material possessions you've been showered with. Those are deceptive tools designed to redirect your focus away from the point, allowing them to do whatever it is they set out to you (without) you. They'll camouflage their true feelings for you using shallow tactics, provoking you to play psychological warfare with yourself in trying to figure out exactly what's going on. And by the time you figure it all out, you'll discover that you lose either way.

  Have you ever had someone ask you a question, only to turn around and answer the question before you could answer? If you knew the answer already, why ask the question in the first place? How can you attain knowledge if you're unwilling to receive the knowledge that's offered? Humility can be very difficult for some people.

  Sometimes in life, divine intervention is the only thing we have that can rescue us during our darkest moments. It doesn't matter about all the good deeds you've done in life, nor the strength of your support group. Life can back you into a corner with no way out other than God himself. This is why you must enjoy and appreciate each and every day as if its your last, because we're all only a split second away from our entire world turning into a crash landing.

  Why is it so hard to swallow that pill of forgiveness? Is it really that hard? Does it eat away at the core of your soul to forgive someone that's blatantly betrayed you? Now that you've chosen not to forgive them, where do you go from that point? Surely you have to know that you'll be faced with other situations conducive to previous misdeeds committed against you, so you may as well free your spirit up now. If not, you'll see it again on the back end for sure.
