Looking Ahead
Your tomorrow is far more important than your yesterday. Never let your past get in the way of your future.
Many people spend too much time regretting their past than they do anticipating their future. We all have things in our history that we wish we could change, but that will never happen. The thing to do is look forward to changing your future. You can’t do anything about the past, but you can do something about your future. The days ahead of you don’t have to look like the days behind you. Make the change from yesterday to tomorrow. Focus on what you can change about yourself. Make the decision to make a difference about your destiny. Today looks great for you and tomorrow even better.

Better Not Bitter
Feelings have nothing to do with forgiveness. What we think has nothing to do it either. We are to forgive as Jesus has forgiven us. Instantly and completely.
Forgiveness is one of the major roadblocks in people life’s today. Unless you forgive others, you can’t be forgiven. God has told us that if we desire forgiveness; we must give forgiveness. People say that they just can’t forgive others. Yes you can. People also say, “You don’t know what they did to me.” No, but I know what the unforgiveness you are holding is doing to you. Forgiveness is not for them anyways, it is all for you. It is the gift that you actually give yourself when you give it to others. Unforgiveness will destroy you from the inside out. It will make you a bitter, mean, and unhappy person. Today is your day of giving forgiveness. Let go of all the unforgiveness that you are holding. You will feel so much better when you are bitter.

Desert Times Blog/Podcast
Listen to Desert Times Podcast
Being “on the backside of the desert” is not a self-inflicted inconvenience or a detour because of our spiritual slackness. It is one of God’s major destinations for those He wants to take deeper.
He is deliberate in leading us into the desert of hard places to speak tenderly to us and to make our trouble a gateway of hope. God has purposes and blessings for us in the desert and afterward. From there, we will know Him as Lord more deeply. He wants to sharpen our listening skills to His voice alone. He wants us to know that the only proper response when there is nothing we can control is to trust that He is in control, and He can’t get it wrong. He wants to show us that there are only two places to go: down and out, or right up into His lap. He gets us where we can’t move in our flesh, because He must do everything of eternal significance by His Spirit. In the heat of the desert, He burns up or blows away all the wood, hay, and stubble of our pride, confidence, and striving.

Take Off the Limits
A lot of people limit themselves in their thinking. They don’t think they’ll ever accomplish their dreams.
They start thinking they don’t have the talent, the connections or the money. They don’t think a marriage could ever be restored or they’ll ever get out of debt. That kind of thinking comes from looking at things in the natural. That’s a limited perspective. We have to realize that God is a supernatural God. Just because we don’t see a way doesn’t mean that God doesn’t have a way. God can bring one opportunity across your path that will thrust you to a new level. He has explosive blessings that can blast you out of debt and into abundance! He can do what medical science can’t do! I encourage you to take the limits off your thinking. Trust that He is working behind the scenes on your behalf, and He will make a way out of no way. Remember, what you are facing may seem impossible with man, but when God puts His “super” on your “natural,” anything is possible!

Here Comes the Judge
Be very careful before you go to judge someone. You have no idea what they are dealing with or going through. You see their behavior but not their heart.
We are so quick to judge others by their behavior. We see what they are doing externally but we have no idea what is going on internally. I know you don’t like being judged; so give the same consideration to others. We all have areas that need working on. Notice that we don’t judge someone when they have the same thing we do. However, if they are dealing with something that we have overcome or never had to deal with; we are quick to pull the judgement trigger. Take the time to pray for that person, not about them, but for them. Quite possibly you can ever pray with them. Don’t be all high and mighty; religious acting, but show compassion and understanding. The way you give away grace and mercy will be the way you get it. Let God do the judging, we should be doing some healing, loving, helping. Be careful next time when you want to judge someone. You will get what you give.

No Waste
The Bible tells of a time when Jesus fed a crowd of five thousand with only five loaves and two fish.
That day, everyone had more than enough to eat, and there were still twelve baskets full of bread and fish leftover—more than what they started with! We serve a God of abundance! I love that Jesus told the disciples to collect all the leftovers “so that nothing is wasted.” With God, nothing is ever wasted. He’ll never waste an experience, He’ll never waste a hurt, He’ll never waste a dream, He’ll never waste even a single piece of bread. If you’ve felt like you’ve wasted years of your life in the wrong job, hanging around the wrong people, doing the wrong things, God will gather those years and restore them back to you. He’ll take those experiences that the enemy meant for your harm and turn them around for your good. He’ll make you stronger, wiser and better off than you were before. He can launch you further into your destiny than before. Be encouraged today because with God all things are possible and nothing is ever wasted!
