A Child's Heart

Truly I say to you, unless you repent (change, turn about) and become like little children [trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving], you can never enter the kingdom of heaven [at all]. Whoever will humble himself therefore and become like this little child [trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving] is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. MATTHEW 18 : 3-4

Children believe what they are told. Some people say children are gullible, meaning they believe anything no matter how ridiculous it sounds. But children are not gullible-they are trusting. It is a child's nature to trust unless he has experienced something that teaches him otherwise. Your heavenly Father wants you to know that you are His precious little one--His child--and that when you come to Him as such, you show faith in Him, which releases Him to care for you.
God is not like people. If people in your past have hurt you, don't let it affect your relationship with the Lord. You can trust Him. He will car for you s a loving Father.

Don't Exceed Reasonable Limits

Do you not know that your body is the temple...if temple of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you...You are not your own, you were bought with a price...So then, honor God and bring glory to Him in your body.
1 CORINTHIANS 6:19-20

In today's world, stress is a normal part of everyday life. God created you to withstand normal amounts of pressure and tension, and if you keep stress within reasonable limits, there is no problem. But if you don't, the trouble begins.
Many stressful situations are unavoidable, but too often you cause yourself extra stress by working too hard and too long, not eating and sleeping properly, and getting so involved in activities-even good works-that you exceed wise limits. If you keep adding to that mental and emotional stress, you get into trouble.
If you are pushing yourself beyond reasonable limits, it's time to remember that the Holy Spirit lives in you. You owe it to Him and to yourself to let Him help you recognize and stay within your limits. Don't burn out. Burn on!

Speak a Blessing into Your Life

He who invokes a blessing on himself...shall do so by saying, May the God of truth and fidelity....bless me; and he...shall swear by the God of truth and faithfulness to His promises...because the former troubles are forgotten and because they are hidden from My eyes. ISAIAH 65:16

You can bless or curse yourself with your mouth. You can bring a blessing by speaking positive truths from God's Word or you can bring a curse by speaking negatively.
Satan is a deceiver and He tries to bring you trouble and then influence you to prophesy that same kind of trouble for your future. But you can choose to bless yourself. If you mentally stop living in the past you can begin to think and speak in agreement with God.
Take notice of the things you say, because what you say does matter-to you and to your well-being. Say what you believe Jesus would say in your situation, and you will open the door for the miracle working power of God.
