James W. Inspirational Thoughts

  If you don't believe in yourself, how do you expect someone to believe in you? Sometimes in life, its the subtle things you (think) people don't see, are the things people can see within you crystal clear. Transparency is not as difficult to identify as you think.

  God created you to be a nice person, a loving person, and a caring person. Don't allow people to change you from the person God created you to be. Instead, refrain from engaging with the person that provoked you into changing in the first place.

  If you already know life offers no guarantees, why do you reject the fruits that life has to offer? Is it because you feel those same opportunities will be afforded to you at some point in the future? What if those opportunities fail to come into fruition, then what? Stop fooling yourself into thinking your great deeds in life will reward you with the desires you've always wanted, because it won't. Present opportunities in life are just what they are, present opportunities, nothing more. Your contributions to life, are contributions expected of you says the lord, so stop thinking life owes you something, life owes you nothing, you owe the world for being here.

  Just because you've overcome personal sinful acts nobody knows about, doesn't mean your dissolved from being sinful. You'll (never) be cured from being sinful because its in our nature to commit sins, so don't boast about it. Nobody is perfect, nor should you try to be, nor does God expect you to be, and nor does he want to trying to be perfect. You can only do the best that you can to be a decent human being in life, nothing more. So stop going out of your way trying to appease others by living a certain way, it means nothing. Because at the end of the day, those same people that committed more sins than you, will be waiting on you in heaven.

  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.
