T.O.D.A.Y.’S ENCOURAGEMENT for Apr.5th, 2002

T.O.D.A.Y. Ministries

Good Morning!
            Have you gotten from Desire...to ...Decision yet?  For those of you who are just now tuning in, we have been talking about simplifying our lives in order to eliminate some stress, thus begin to enjoy Life the way God intended us to.  This will require some changes, in fact, maybe a lot of changes!

            FEAR NOT!  When The Lord begins to deal with us about something He is wanting us to do, in order to improve ourselves and our situations, He is going to be right there in the middle of everything to HELP US!!  So don't start off by "complicating" the "simplifying" process.

            Change of any kind can be very challenging.  So the more you need to change, the more challenges you are going to face.  For example:  Do you find that when someone fails to do what you want them to...when you want them to...the way you want them to (am I talking to someone)...is your reaction just a bit short of mercy and understanding?  Hey, the writer knows all about "losing it", "getting way out there", "hitting high C", etc.  Been there done that.  But one day I made a decision to allow God to change what needed to be changed in me.

            What I needed was an "attitude adjustment"...He showed me how to look at things differently...by just saying to myself, "Does this really matter?"  "What is really important?"

            People are never going to do everything you want them to do...when you want them to do it...or the way you want them to do it but your attitude will determine the effect it has on You.

            So I encourage you Today to "get over it".  Get free from this bondage and by doing so, you will set others free.

             Have a Blessed weekend!  (Keep it Simple)  In His Love,  Luanne

             We welcome your comments and prayer requests.
