I always think about how very easy it is to have a lot of stuff accumulate in our lives..and how very quickly a lot of so called trash can build up in our lives….I bet I take my trash out from my house a least 2 to 3 times a day…and that’s an awful lot!…so I can only imagine how much of that spiritually speaking trash gets accumulated in our lives…and a lot of times gets accumulated without us even realizing that it’s being accumulated…cause isn’t it funny sorta that other people can always look upon another and see their faults and not at all see the faults that they themselves are holding…for the Lord reads it like this…But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world….James 1:22-27…so my point in which I’m trying to make today is simply this…keep all of that so called trash out of your life…and daily, all day long keep it out…don’t let yourself get sucked into the ways of this world..don’t let yourself be pulled into drama and strife…don’t let yourself become this murmurer and or a complainer…and don’t let yourself be ugly and hard heartened towards people…and don’t ever let yourself look down upon anyone with one of these I think I’m better than you mentailtiy…so the trash it can come guys in many different forms…and only we ourselves can help ourselves to be better and do better…for us to make a difference in the lives of anyone…we ourselves have to be different…we have to rise up above the ways of everyone else and the way they act and the things that they do, speaking here of the world….for the saying goes like this don’t let others pull you into their storm but you pull others into your peace…Hallelujah…so how do we do this…Well we work on us..and we work on us daily…we don’t try to fix everyone else…cause that’s not our job…see our job is to shine the Lord…and we’re called to love everyone…and be a kind, loving, caring, helpful human beings…we are to be different, walk different and talk different…we shouldn’t ever have anyone second guessing who we are and or whether or not we are a child of the Lord…so for us to be what God wants for us to be…then guys just know that we have to do our parts…we have to hear the word and than abide by the word…for the scripture says apart from the Lord we can nothing…John 15:5…so we have to abide in Jesus…and stay abiding in Him…we have to love all and not merely few…we have to work on us and stay prayed up and stay filled up…for what’s in us surely does come out from us…so I pray that we are filled to the overflow with the Lord our God..and that we are ever so brightly shining for Him…being His hands and being His feet…for the Lord uses us guys…and I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…if we ain’t right within ourselves….than how in the world do we suppose that we’re gonna be right with anyone else?…for we can’t be…and that’s just a fact….so keep your heart the bible says with all diligence for out from it flows the issues of our lives..Proverbs 4:23…and I pray that good things are flowing out from our hearts..each of our hearts!…In Jesus’ name I do ask and pray…Amen and Amen!! Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
