DECEPTION DOES NOT HELP ANY OF US

We are all human and we do sometimes get drained and sometimes even bored when doing what God ordained for us, church and our spiritual life. James 1:22 says... Do not merely listen to the word  and so deceive yourselves.  Do what it says. James is highlighting the fact that we listen to the Word but we do not apply it to our lives; we go to church, have meetings, but that's it! So as a result, it becomes boring, it's now just words, predictable. But God's word is meant to be acted upon.  This concept is similar to practical subjects in school. Application is necessary to master and understand the subject in its entirety. So is God's word; it is practical and He reveals Himself more and more to us as we apply His word to our lives.  Blessings! #Blessings #Joanstruth #Action #move #Godsword #deception

PUT YOURSELF FIRST!

It is not selfish to think about yourself. Take care of yourself before you can take care of others. You can't give love with hate in your heart. You can't give things away that you don't have. Be true to yourself, Love yourself then spread that love. Have an abundance in order to share. Be happy with where you are now, Be happy with where you were, Be happy with the people in your life, Be happy with what you have And you will be happy with where you will go. If you don't accept these things, then you become unhappy. You then compare your life with someone else's definition of happiness and when you achieve this (their definition of happiness), you'll still be unhappy! If you are not happy with your life, then you won't be happy at all. Be Happy to Be Happy #BHTBH #LoveMore #JoansTruth

KEEP YOUR PEACE!

Anger is not a virtue, it is a vice and should not be kept within. It is a felling that happens in an instant and it should be released from your being in that same instant. In reality, this is not the case. We hold on to the negative energies that make us worse each day. We worry, complain, get upset, hate, and the list continues. Each time we welcome these energies, we increase our risk of being sick and stressed out. I used to get upset for the simplest thing but it never hurt the person who I was upset with, it only hurt me and THAT MADE ME EVEN MORE ANGRY!!! There is no person in this world who has not been angry or who will never feel upset at some point of their lives but the difference with some persons is that they make different choices. The choices that we make in each moment of our lives will not only affect our present but affect our future. When you are angry, in that moment, what do you do? Do you... 1. shout and argue so that everyone in the room hears your pain? ...

THEY WILL SHOCK YOU!!!

Do not make assumptions or draw conclusions on the behaviours and decisions made by the persons around you because these things DO NOT define who they are. They may shock you, whether negatively or positively! So keep your eyes in the mirror and not on other people. #BeBlessed #LiveYourLife #JoansTruth

LOVE CONQUERS ALL

It is a challenge to look in the mirror and analyze how we treat people and how we treat ourselves because we know that w hatever we give, it will always come back to us in one way or another. It is a truth we know but always seem to do the wrong things expecting positive results. But it is true!  LOVE EQUALS LOVE!   Whether it is taking a day (or hour) off to prevent an overload or illness. Or it is a favour for a friend coming back to us in the form of a caring gesture from a co-worker when we needed it, or when we give someone money (especially when we are compelled to hang on to it) and it comes back as a gift from a relative, etc. We often argue about the things persons are not doing for us and we then choose to return that negative energy in the same way which eventually affects everyone around us, but stop! You can change your energy, ONLY if you want to. Let us choose to operate in love! God is love and we were made in His image. Sow love and you WILL reap love i...
