I heard something this week that really made me stop and think. It was a truth I really hadn't thought about before. The statement was: It doesn't matter who sings a certain song, or who wrote it, it doesn't change the truth of the message found in that song. If the song has a message about God's saving grace it is still going to have that message no mattere who sings it.
Who are we to judge that persons heart or standing with Christ anyways...

thought of today
We shouldn't let people or circumstances dictate whether we are happy or not. True happiness should depend on God because He's the only one who won't dissapoint.
I am so thankful for a God who loves me even when I mess up!

Ephesians 5...a great reminder
"Though some tongues just love the taste of gossip, Christians have better uses for language than that. Don't talk dirty or silly. That kind of talk doesn't fit our style. Thanksgiving is our dialect."
This verse is a great reminder to me to watch what I say. It's easy to get talking and not realize what you say.
It also is a reminder to not gossip and also to be thankful. Sometimes it's hard to be thankful, especially when trials come, then we have to remember that God has done so much for us. We have a lot to be thankful for every day.

2 Corinthians 1 (Message)
"God comes alongside us when we go through hard times, and before you know it, he brings us alongside someone else who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that person just as God was there for us."
I love this verse! I know hard times aren't fun, but there is a reason why we go through trials and tough times. The biggest reason may be so that we can be there, as the verse says, for our friends when they experience similar situations. We can be a living testimony to them. If they see we made it through it, it can offer hope to them.

Thoughts
Thought of the day:
Joy is a choice we have to personally choose daily. We shouldn't blame our unhappiness or our lack of joy on people of circumstances. True joy should be found in God alone. I mean just look at the cross and what Jesus did for us there! That alone should cause us to sing and dance for joy!
