James W. Inspirational Thoughts

  Your as beautiful today as you were yesterday, and don't allow anyone to tell you different. We're all God's people, created with our own distinct uniqueness. So the next time you look yourself in the mirror, love and appreciate God's beauty, and know that when he created you, he wrapped his arms around you with warmth and kindness.

  Some people are willing to forgive, some aren't. Some people have empathy, some don't. Why is it when a woman is broken, she's given the benefit of the doubt more times than not? Yet when a man is broken, he not only doesn't receive the benefit of the doubt, its accepted that he deserves any misfortune that's bestowed upon him. It's as if men aren't capable of being broken, and that's not true. If you're human, you can be broken, plain and simple. Companionship is not textbook and doesn't formulate the same for everyone, nor can you dictate how it should be orchestrated, that's not your calling. Perhaps if you stop being afraid of love, allowing it to embrace you, companionship would top eluding you at every turn.

  If you are not in tuned with the gifts God gave you, it would be in your best interest to find out. Trusting in someone outside of the gifts God gave you, makes absolutely no sense. If God gave you a gift, why not trust the gift God gave you? Our spiritual gift is the one gift God gave us all, problem is, many people aren't trusting of themselves, or trust the spirit that speaks within them. Without that, you wouldn't have made it this far in life. Do not allow anyone to alter the gift God gave you, by allowing them to tell you what you feel isn't true. If you believe in him, he will quietly reward you privately for trusting in him. And upon him blessing you, stop being so freely to share private blessings with others, because jealously is always lurking in the shadows to bite you.

  Biblically speaking, if you knew the actual truth behind the scriptures you've read, why they were wrote, and who wrote them, would it change your beliefs and perception on life? Its amazing how select cultures will do everything possible to hide the truth, even if it meant sacrificing its own people to cover it up. The term (never) is a term that's almost taboo to use because of the depths of its meaning. However, its suffice to say we will (never) discover the absolute truth of what happened 2000 years ago when Jesus Christ graced this planet. We will (never) know who those scribes were and what they stood for, we will (never) know the actual truth on how racism begin 2000 years ago, we will never know the origin of perversion and its natural nature that took place during those times, and we will never know the origins of how humans became captivated with believing in spirits to save lives. But what we do know, is that lives were compromised to hide truths,

 As humans, we've all suffered at the hands of misfortunes at some point in our lives. We didn't receive any sympathy, nor did we ask for any. Did we receive empathy? Sure we did, although during that moment in time, in the midst of our sufferings, it probably didn't mean much because we wanted more. That being said, for those that apply, stop feeling sorry for those that have suffered in life. Sympathy is not something the Lord seeks from us, its empathy, big difference. Empathy is genuine, sympathy isn't, because it almost comes off as that person being pathetic. We've all made it this far in life without sympathy, and you still came away smelling like a bed of roses, don't go trying to recreate the wheel that's already been created. 

  Are you aware that valuable information is being given to you on a daily basis? Remember this, if someone involuntarily approaches you with information, retain it, even if its substance is insignificant to you, retain it anyways. Because somewhere down the road you'll see it again, whether its beneficial to you, or someone else. Stop selfishly thinking about yourself, stop ignoring the messengers God sends you, and listen to the message itself.

 Why is it so difficult to accept a person as they are? If you care about that person, why would you change them? Sure we can all use a little upgrading in our character, however, don't try and coerce a person to do a total makeover just because they don't agree with your basic principles. And besides, if a person needs "that" many changes in order for you to accept them, perhaps that person wasn't meant for you in the first place. 

  Have you ever had someone that knew nothing about you personally, to verbally violate your character? Such people could be family members, co-workers, people that "think" they know you, but truly don't know that side of you. Chances are you walked away from it, thinking thoughts you shouldn't be thinking, thinking to yourself, "if you only knew". Its at that point you realize God has truly delivered you.
