James W. Inspirational Thoughts

  Exercising humility is a very noble thing in the eyes of God. However, it's an unspoken truth that comes with humility, and that's honesty. Meaning, many would opt to remain silent rather than being honest in efforts to spare a person feelings. Question is, are you actually sparing them, or are you enabling them, it's a difference? Because if your enabling them, it renders you just as guilty for permitting wrong to continue, which makes you an accessory to wrongfulness. God would be displeased. What would Jesus do?

  You thought you were upgrading during your early years in life, only to find out you were downgrading. And now that you've matured later in life, establishing stability has been challenging to sat the least. Where do you go from here? The clock is ticking and time is running out.

  You trusted your intuition based on something that carried no concrete evidence, so you threw it all away. And now look at you, years later and you still have nothing. Who was the fool? Your toughest battles in life has nothing to do with your intuitions, it's YOU.

  Life presents us with unforeseen challenges we're mentally incapable of handling at that moment in time. Our thoughts become stunted, scrambling for answers only to come up empty. It's at that point we reach to a higher power, wondering and hoping that person they call God truly exist. For some, the beliefs are difficult because we're reaching at something or someone we will never see visually, only spiritually. It's for that reason many question his existence until they try it for themselves. And as the saying goes, "don't know it until you try it".

  The true love you once had was never lost, you simply gave up on it. And now that it's gone you've moved on, wondering if you can recapture that feeling you once had. You've spent many years playing private head games with yourself and you still came up with nothing. Your level of trust is at ground zero as you've mentally give up on ever having true companionship. But you know where the true problem is? The companionship you once desired was staring you directly in the face many moons ago, only you were to blind to see it because you were mentally defeated, so you gave up without even giving yourself a fair chance. Companionship is a great thing, and living a single life is simply not cool at all, nor is it attractive.

  If your available for a relationship, or looking to one day be involved in a marriage, ask yourself a few question? If you could give a reason to love you, what would it be? What do you bring to the table that would appeal someone to be involved with you? These are questions you need to ask yourself, with the understanding as to whether you are relationship material. Because many seem to "think" they are relationship ready, but in actuality they aren't. And if your middle aged and never been married, many of those questions answer themselves despite what you "think" you being to the table. (Your not what you think you are.)

  Why would you minimize a person for the sole purpose of elevating another person? Compliments should be taken at face value, nothing more, it's not a lifetime achievement award. Because in most instances, a compliment is a recipe for open criticism.

 Why would you allow a rich person to have great influence over you? Just because a person is rich doesn't make them any smarter than the average person minus financial security. Are you aware that the Lord speaks against being influenced by such people? Proverbs (18:23) speaks for itself. Many people lack respect for poor people.

  If you unknowingly hurt someone you should at the very least show empathy, informing them it was not your intentions. However, if you knowingly hurt someone, the same rules still apply, you should show empathy, with the understanding that the words you speak can cause irreparable damage internally. Such pain cause a plethora of health issues, including heart attacks, nervous breakdowns, and even cancer. The lesson to be learned is be careful with the words you speak.
