Rules to Live By
· Kindness is strength. It is not weakness. The truly kind are the strongest of all. Practice kindness each day.
· It’s said that God is in the details. Actually, He’s to be uppermost in everything we think, do and say. When He is…understanding the details will be easier.
· The wise always remember that Christ is both Lion and Lamb. He came as the Lamb so that He may come as the Lion. God is good, but He’s not safe. There is no safe place apart from God.
· “Comfort zone” is another term for grave. If you’ve “arrived” that doesn’t mean you’re finally successful. It means you have nothing left to live for so you might as well be dead. Be uncomfortable. Do more good.
· The world is very loud and distracting. This is why God made forests, oceans, lakes, mountaintops, beaches, and then gave man the idea to build libraries, gardens, gazebos and paths through the wilderness. It’s hard to listen to God when the world is screaming for your attention. Withdraw alone and listen for His still, small voice.
· Live gratefully. A smug, self-righteous, egotistical, self-indulgent, vain person is cut off from both God and Man. Everything you have from your looks to your talents, home, job, money and possessions is on loan to you. You can lose them all in a moment’s time. A grateful heart shares freely and lovingly with others.
· Be childlike. Seek a sense of wonder and awe. Embrace the sky, the wind, and others. Dance with joy. Laugh uproariously – not at the world but at the sheer exuberance of His creation. He delights in the heart of a child for therein lies the greatest magic of all.
