Knowledge Without Love
Knowledge without love (compassion, patience, kindness, integrity…) doesn’t usually go far in influencing others. Love matters! Above all, people need to know we care about them- defenses are lowered, walls come down, doors open, frowns turn to smiles and real communication begins.
Typically, we think that talking is the best way to influence others. We work hard to prove our points and push our agendas. But often it’s our ability to listen and sincerely care about what others are saying that has the greatest influence. Only then, by God’s grace we may have a platform to speak.
May God bless our relationships, and when times are tough, we can meditate on these beautiful words…
” If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails!”
-1 Corinthians 13
Thoughts are Powerful
Thoughts are powerful. Be careful what you dwell on 🙏🏻
“And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.” Philippians 4:8-9
God Cares
Be Encouraged . . .
You may not see God or feel His presence right at this moment, but He is with you. Talk to Him about everything that is on your heart. God cares. Praying is simply talking to God. It’s often in those moments of intimate conversation that our troubled hearts find peace.
“Do not let your hearts be troubled.” ~John 14:1
May you how wide, how long, how high, and how deep God’s love is for you 🧡

The Bridge Back to God
I had a dog once who was scared to cross a bridge . . .
Maybe she was unsure about what lay on the other side. Or maybe her precious paws didn’t like the feel of the worn wood. Or maybe it was the feeling of it being narrow or closed in . . .
Peace Talks [3]
Once we realize how much we’ve been forgiven, we won’t need to think too hard about wether we should extend forgiveness to others . . .
“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32
Forgive, let go, look forward with hope!
