Operation Love
When do you we know we have the God kind of love in us? When we have compassion rather than anger for others when they do us wrong.
When someone at work is promoted above you; are you jealous or happy for them? If there is love operating in your life; then you are happy for them. When someone talks wrongly of you or even tells the bad truth about your past; do you get even or do you instantly forgive? Depends on if love is the deciding factor in your daily life. Love will cause you to go against the norm, because for the most part people today don’t operate in love. People today operate in self preservation rather than love. Folks today let selfishness be the deciding factor in what they do and say rather the love for others. Love is not a sappy feeling, that is the emotion attached to certain types of love. Love is a verb, its an action. Love doesn’t mean you let others run over you. Due to the love operating in you, you allow them to go on by. They will either change or run off the highway without love directing them. God has commanded us to show love to others all the time, not just when we want to. Since He has told us to show love, He has given us the ability and love to do it. Let love be your deciding factor in every situation today, tomorrow and forever

Letting Go
Releasing unforgiveness in the form of forgiveness will release peace in you. No more resentment, anger, or bitterness will be inside you when you chose to forgive others.
Unforgiveness does not just stay inside of us as unforgiveness. It grows, mutates and changes over time. It becomes bitterness, resentment, anger, hatred and even rage. None of these are healthy emotions. When you can’t sleep at night thinking about what has been done to you; forgive. When you think about that person and you change from happy to mad; forgive. There is no room for unforgiveness in you. Your body DNA was not designed to contain unforgiveness. When you have forgiven you don’t bring it up again. The memory will still be there, but the pain attached to it is gone. God will honor your forgiving others. His love will permeate through you in such a way that you will not have all the negative emotions. Remember today, the amount of forgiveness you give is the amount of forgiveness you will receive. Freely and completely forgive today. Never pick up that offense again. Let it go totally!

The Mistake of Failure
The only way to never make a mistake or fail is to never do anything. Which is the ultimate mistake and failure.
When you have no idea what to do; do something. There will come a time when you wake up and realized that you lived your entire life; yet never lived. There are times when we have to just do something. Do something is not taking foolish risks, but there are times when we do have to step out in faith. I don’t recommend stepping out in faith into the oncoming traffic. Do something is a step of faith toward our purpose and destiny. So many people live with the fear of failure and that they will make a mistake that they do nothing. Doing nothing is the mistake of failure. This does not have to be you. I understand that we will make mistakes and fail at times, but we still have to do something. This world is depending on us to be the change necessary to make a difference.

Looking Sharp Podcast/Blog
There will be people in your life that are placed there to test, strengthen and encourage you. Sometimes they even mean to.
All through your life you will have those people that seem to rub you the wrong way. You just cringe when you think of them, like you are doing right now. There is a reason for those people though and it’s good. They have been placed in your life for a time such as this. They have a mission to accomplish in you. They have been placed in your life for a season to test you, to make you stronger and even to encourage you. It may not seem like this is what they are doing. It’s all in your perspective. You have to know remember that iron sharpens iron like one man sharpens another. They more they sharpen you the more the sparks fly and it gets heated. This is all necessary to make you a better person. So don’t get upset with these people. Allow the process to take place and move up. Also, don’t ever forget you are this person in someone else’s life.
