James W. Inspirational Thoughts

 It doesn't matter how smart you "think" you are, you can still drown in your own ignorance. Do not become so cemented into your own thinking that you can't change. Because if you allow your brain to drift into one direction to long, you'll find it difficult to change as needed in order to enjoy the life that God gave you. 

 Have you ever sat back and thought about things you missed out on? Sometimes in life golden opportunities only roll around once in a lifetime. That's a classic example of just how precious life can be, and yet we were far to ignorant to even realize it. Lesson learned, the window of opportunity is very small, so small that if your not careful you'll miss it without even realizing it until it's to late. 

 Gifts are blessings from God no matter the value of the gift. Do not take the gifts that God handed you for granted by showing lack of respect for those gifts. Because if you do, you'll find if very difficult to receive likeness in those gifts in the future.  Embrace what's given to you and understand that God is always thinking about you.

  If the first thought that enters your mind is something negative when looking at a person, something is definitely wrong with you. Life is life, and your vision on life is not the vision for all to follow. Where would we be in life if the first thought from God was negative?

 How strong is your faith? Some will "proclaim" to have faith, until it's time to show it. Many relationships fail due to lack of faith, relying solely on the companion to act as God. Notice, God never enters the picture in times of trouble "during the relationship. God only enters the picture "after" the relationship has been dissolved and strength is needed to move forward. Backwards thinking breeds poor results. 

 If your trying to make a point, you do not have to undermine a person to make your point. Nor do you have to devalue a person just so you can elevate a person to where you think they should be. Why not simply acknowledge the greatness in a person and leave it at that? God created us all with our own distinct uniqueness, so why tinker with it?

 One value lesson to learn in life, is to never allow your emotions to overpower you no matter the circumstances. Maintain control of your tongue and guard the words you speak, especially in the presence of those whom are wicked(Psalms 39.1). 

 You thought about it, yet you didn't do it. You pondered over it, yet you didn't do it. You analyzed it, yet you didn't do it. Why? You've gone over this thing over and over again. You've even played it back in your head under different circumstances, weighing the pros and cons, yet you didn't do it. Either your going to do it or your not, if not, than stop thinking about it.
