James W. Inspirational Thoughts

 So many people desire to have love, but do not understand everything that comes with it. Because if you are under the mindset that love is painless, your sadly mistaken. You must take the bitter with the sweet and understand that love isn't perfect, it doesn't come with conditions, and it's designed to hurt. The pain you've felt from past love pales in comparison to the pain Jesus felt when he gave his life for all of us to live the life we live today. 

 Sometimes no means yes, and sometimes yes means no. If your confused on what to say, simply inform them you'll give it some thought. 

 Have you ever went to the lord for questions about things you were going through? You were seeking answers correct? Well, if you know the lord as you say you do, why didn't you allow him to answer your questions? You see, most people that converse with the lord, are always the one doing all the talking, while never thinking to sit back and allow the lord to respond. Stop being selfish and allow the lord to talk. He's trying to talk to you, but your always doing all the talking after you make your request. You'll say what you have to say and roll over to sleep. And you wonder why your prayers weren't answered?

  Have you ever been around a person that denies your company? If so, do not concern yourself with ignorant behavior, because at the end of the day it's there loss not yours. It's so many people that suffer in life from blatant ignorance, don't let that be you.

 Unconditonal love can be very difficult to give, especially when your not receiving return value for your efforts. So if your looking for returned value for anything you do in life, obvious you don't know the lord. Many people seem to think you receive what you put into life, and that's simply not true. Because if that were true, many millionaires would not have become millionaires, evil people wouldn't live such long lives, good people wouldn't die so young, great people wouldn't become homeless, and good people wouldn't encounter such hard luck in life. If this message comes off a bit to deep for you, go read your bible, it's written in his word. 

 If you see someone constantly being patted on the back by people you've considered questionable in character, do not concern yourself with the person that's in question, concern yourself with the person being patted on the back. 

 Losing your composure through disappointment only validates that you've lost your focus with the Lord. Loving the Lord doesn't mean you know him, because if you truly knew him it would reflect in your character. Chances are you've somehow lost your way in the midst of the storm and can't seem to find your way back. finding that inner peace starts with humility and focus.
