James W. Inspirational Thoughts

  Upon expressing your displeasure of a person behavior, how does it get to the point of hatred? Hatred is an extremely strong term to use in describing your feelings for someone, even if that person took the life of someone you loved. Is hatred going to reverse what's already happened? Is retaliation going to reverse what's already happened? You see where this is going? So you see, despite the sting that's been injected into your heart, having contempt for a person doesn't dissolve the problem. Hatred can be venomous to the inner spirit.

  If knowledge is something you do not desire, don't knock those that want it. Far to often it's the people that lack desire for knowledge, always seem to be the person that's doing all the talking. You can't receive it if your the one doing all the talking.

  People that are incapable of gaining knowledge through there own ignorance, seemingly always fail to see the paper trail leading back to themselves. They'll even distance themselves from you because you probably informed them of something they could have avoided.

  It's nothing wrong with making mistakes, we all make them. However, although we can't reverse those mistakes, we can correct certain mistakes by first admitting to yourself a mistake was made, and tell the person you made the mistake with, that you made a mistake. It doesn't make you any less of a person for admitting wrong. And it's nothing wrong with eating that humble pie(swallowing your pride) to make things right.

  Why do some people seem to feel life has a template for all to follow? If you truly believe that, your a very shallow minded person. If life were that simplified, handling our problems would be a piece of cake. Fortunately for us, that's not the way life is designed thank God. The lense that you view life is for your eyes only, not for all to follow. In order for you to understand life and keep an open mind, you must view life through the lense of others and not lean onto your own understanding. If you are indeed incapable of doing as such, the life you live is in a very small box. Impartiality is an absolute must in order to navigate yourself through life.

 It's a difference between forgiving and forgiving? If your going to forgive a person you must forgive them from the bottom of your heart without contempt in your heart. You see, some people will say they've forgiven, but in actuality they haven't deep down inside. When you've forgiven a person your actions will exhibit as such, it's just unfortunate that's not always the case. If you've forgiven a person and even went as far as to tell that person you've forgiven them, you must do as such with a clean heart. But if your actions say otherwise, it's consequences and repercussions from the lord that you have to deal with. In other words, you can't double back on your forgiveness once you've uttered those words to that person.
