PRIORITIES, PERSEVERANCE, PATIENCE

Some people actually go through life worried about trivial stuff that really doesn’t matter.

Priorities, priorities, we must have correct ones. First, priority is to recognize who our Shepherd is and let Him lead us. “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” Nurture and love your family, life is too short to get caught up in silly drama with family members; forgiveness is the key and unconditional love is necessary. Friends--chose them well; some are for a season, some are for a lifetime, but don't get caught up in the trivialities of differences that impact a worthwhile friendship. Jobs and careers, are gravy, don't spend too much time on them the return is more short lived where as God, family and friends last a lifetime.

“Character, not circumstance, makes the person.” — Booker T. Washington

I speak with a lot of people, who seem to want to throw in the towel, stop fighting, and simply just give up in this game called life. My response to them is stop thinking in terms of limitations and start thinking in terms of possibilities. The only way you fail is if you stop fighting and give up. Stay in the race and press toward your bright future. Perseverance is being steady persistence in a course of action or purpose in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement. There is one thing that you can take to the bank; you can expect to encounter problems when trying to accomplish something good. Successful people don't let obstacles or disappointments get in their way.

“If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.”

What is the purpose of patience? It is the tool of life that teaches us to live and learn to wait for what we may want, desire, or aspire to do and be. Patience is also something that we must all learn to develop as we go through life’s process. We must use this very powerful tool called patience to help us mature in courage, strength, love, peace, understanding, and actions. My personal testimony is a direct reflection of these 3P’s. Over the last decade God has blessed my family and I to experience the better part of my thirty-three years on this earth. During this time I have learned that there is absolutely nothing that my father in Heaven will not grant me education, finance, faith, a loving family, divine relationships, great health, life abundantly, and building a legacy for generations to come. The process can be the most rewarding or the most difficult thing that you encounter in your life. My attitude and receptiveness to Godly instruction is what determined how pleasurable the process became. For every vision that God has shown me I have had to exercise the 3P’s. It has become yet another key to my success.

Be blessed and inspired…
