Every day we choose how we will live. Although we do not control the good or bad that may happen to us, we can control our reactions. This will bring either blessings or curses.
Where is your focus? If you fix your gaze, on past hurts, negativity and bitterness will overwhelm you and bring death, to the joy of the day. Instead choose to let go and release those who committed offenses against you and forgive. Letting go, gives you room to embrace today, with the blessings and vibrant life God has for you.
Fill your vision with the incredible love and forgiveness God gives you. He gave his one and only Son, Jesus, to pay for your sins and failures, so you could have abundant life. Cling to Daddy God and choose to listen to his voice, love him, obey him and enjoy the gift of his blessings. You will live enjoying God’s promises for you.
“Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live! You can make this choice by loving the Lord your God, obeying him, and committing yourself firmly to him. This is the key to your life. And if you love and obey the Lord, you will live long in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” (Deuteronomy 30:19-20 NLT)

This is just what I needed today! It was a challenging work week and now I keep dwelling on what happened—instead of enjoying my weekend. I will choose life and joy, not the opposite! Amen and AMEN!!

We can choose what we focus on and the bible tells us to focus on Jesus the perfecter of out faith. Not always easy to do when going through a difficult time but so powerful when we do

Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life! No one comes to the Father except by him. Putting our focus on Jesus is good!
