Some people make cutting remarks, but the words of the wise bring healing (3 February 2015)

(NLT) ( Proverbs 12:18 )

Whether you recognize it or not, you are not the only one walking around with hurts, scars and open wounds. If you are able to look beyond your hurts for a moment, you can then truly see how much power you have. You actually have the power to build someone up! As a result you will find healing in watching your powerful words become fuel for empowerment to the person you speak into.

Therefore, accept each other just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given glory (2 February 2015)

(NLT) ( Romans 15:7 )

Everyone is walking around seeking to be accepted and when it is found, that’s where influence makes a real impact on their lives. Skin color, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, intelligence, political beliefs, financial status, are often reasons why we refuse to reach out. Remember this, acceptance is not synonymous with approval, but we are called to love everyone. Does Jesus accept you even though you do things He doesn’t approve of? Absolutely!!! So why would we expect others to change before we can accept them?
