Heart Talk
That feeling when doing the right thing rips your heart out and hands it to you. Learning the truth behind treat others the way I want to be treated.
There will come a time in your life when you know you have to do what is right, but it hurts. When you have to stop enabling someone that you love and they look at you with those questioning eyes. When you have to cut ties with someone that consistently hurt you time and time again. We all have or will have to face those people in those situations during our life. Remember that you will receive what you give. When you show mercy and grace by doing what is right, the same will come to you when you most need it. Although your heart may be breaking you must do what is right. Emotions may tell you to do one thing, but go with what is right. You will never have to question your decision when you do what is right.

Take the Steps
I talk a lot about not giving up, being encouraged, that you have purpose and destiny.
It takes many attributes to be successful in life. To be successful is to significant. To be significant is to serve others. To serve others to have no agenda. To have no agenda is to be humble. To be humble is being a giver. To be a giver is to love others. To love others is to over look faults. To over look faults is to show mercy. To show mercy is to offer hope to others. To offer hope to others is give them a reason to keep trying. To give others a reason to keep trying our purpose. Our purpose is why we are here. We are here because God has a plan for us. God has a plan for us because He loves us. He loves us because He created us. Go out today and make a difference in someone’s life and see all these things take place.

Grace and Mercy
Showing grace and mercy through love and forgiveness will mess you up. You will never be the same. Its painful to the flesh but it is very refreshing.
It can be very difficult to give something to others, yet we desire it above all things. To forgive and love someone who has wronged us. We want to be forgiven and loved. We want to be shown mercy and grace, but at times we have trouble giving the same thing. Our flesh does not want to show mercy and grace. Our pride and ego will tell us not to forgive and love those that have wronged us. At the same time we want to be shown mercy, grace, forgiveness and love. The only way we will ever receive all this is to give them freely and completely. We don’t have the right to pick and choose who we forgive and love. We don’t have the option of loving and forgiving some but not others. Remember, the Bible says that we are to forgive others so that God can forgive us. Tall order but that also means that God gives us the grace and mercy to do so. Today, make it a point to forgive and love those that have hurt you. Show mercy and grace to everyone in your life without reservation.

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.

The Eyes Have It
This year and from now we need to see people through eyes of love, forgiveness, hope, understanding, patience, hope, encouragement.
People are quick to pass judgement on others without taking the time to look at where they are in life. If we took the time to see the situation from the other person’s point of view, we would not be so judgmental. We have to realize that others are going through tough day too. We judge ourselves by our intentions but judge others by their actions. Give others the benefit of the doubt when they act out. There is probably something going on in their world that is causing them to act that way. When we start seeing people through eyes of love, forgiveness, hope, understanding, patience, hope and encouragement, we will make a difference in their life. It goes back to treating others even better than we want to be treated. Don’t be so quick to pass judgement on others, but rather take the time to be a positive force in their life today.

Gulity
I have been accused in my writing/speaking that I offer to much hope, mercy, forgiveness, love, restoration and destiny. Awesome! I am guilty as charged.
I have noticed that over the past few years that “religious” people don’t care for my writing or what I speak about. Understand that by “religious” I am not being critical of any person’s beliefs. Religious to me is someone that has become mean because of their beliefs. When we take what God has given us and inject what we want into it, then we have become religious. Anyways, enough of that. I haven’t always given hope, love, forgiveness or mercy to anyone; not even myself. I realize how wrong I was all those years. There is no greater gift we can give than hope, love, forgiveness, mercy and so on. When we start giving peace of mind and not a piece of our mind; we force our flesh into being humble. I love the changes that have taken place and know that there are still a lot of changes to come. I have so many more “religious” people to offend yet. Know that God does love you no matter what. Change your ways to meet His ways and you will see even more of this love coming your way.
