There are times when we really want to lash out at people, denounce them and blame them for something that did not go well. In these days and times compassion is needed more than ever. We must realize that people, given their circumstances  do the best that they know how. The scripture says in Romans 8:38-39  nothing can separate us from the love of God.  No matter what some one has done or neglected to do, we must look for understanding. For if they really knew what was best for them, that is what they would do. Love has no conditions therefore we must love unconditionally.

Love always in all your ways



Virginia Brooks

First Lady, St. Martin Spiritual Church

 

 

It is imperative that you prevent any sort of substitute from becoming first place in your life. Fill your life with true, living God, not a phony substitute. 

 

You can tell what is important to you simply by examining how you spend your time. If you are spending so much time trying to make money that you don't spend any quality time with God, then wealth is more important to you than God. Likewise, if you are always spending time with friends and don't have any time to spend with God then your social life is more important to you than God. 

 

How you use your time is so important, because you can either invest it or waste it. However, if you waste your time, you'll never get it back. On the other hand, if you invest your time into forming a deep, close, personal relationship with God, then you will reap the rewards of such an investment for the rest of eternity. 

 

Decide to put God first in your life: spend significant, quality, personal time with Him. Put the first, most important thing (God) first place in your life.
