Hi Peeps,
Today’s Quote
“Positively connecting with God, your family, and the people around you is a mandate to keep you from isolating yourself in your own ignorance.” ~ Jon Barnes
Refusal
You have the first right of refusal in connecting positively to the Love of God, by choice and by design. God is not asking for your pity, piety, or half-hearted love. He’s not even asking for your opinions. He requires all of your love to connect to Him, by following His Instructions to then formulate your own opinions from your honest good works of faith. Fake love is a waste of time and will get you nowhere fast in life. Refuse to use fake love as a model for your character, ethics, opinions, and integrity.
Determine
Believe that your love connections will work because God will reward a cheerful giver. Giving, showing, and receiving love is not always easy to handle, but continue to give your love freely and stop looking for something in return. The return will automatically happen and often times from different sources and unusual explanations. Just keep loving like God wants you to love.
Position
Position your mind, faith, and action to align with God’s commandments so that your love is genuine, pure, honest, and consistent. Each day is an opportunity to share, give, and help someone feel the love connection from God in your lifestyle. These moments and miracles in Love will strength your values, morals, and commitment to God, which is the position to follow and copy. Correction, which is a major part of Love, will not always by soft, easy, sweet, or comfortable. But, position yourself to accept the connection, changes, and adjustments to God’s Truth and Authority.
Today’s Question
Are you undermining God’s authority by disobeying your parents, being hard-headed, self-centered, disconnected, and non-responsive?
Enjoy The Reading
