So, I have a suggestion. Start and end every day for the next month, saying – “God is interested in me.” Fully believe it in your heart. Without a doubt, repeating this would impact you. Afterall, messages you allow into your head and heart have power. They launch you. Conversely, they can derail you. So, use the power of messages to build a strong relationship with God. Afterall, God is interested in you.

Let’s explore what this looks like.

Once-in-awhile, you wonder what really matters in life. Frankly, I believe thinking, speaking, and behavior matters – in every relationship:

  • Parent-child.
  • Teacher-student.
  • Government-citizen.
  • Boss-employee.
  • Even friend-friend.

 

Without being well-thought, well-spoken, and well-behaved, relationships can be compromised – even shallow. Sadly, they can become destructive.

Conversely, when a person thinks carefully, their speaking and behavior becomes meaningful. Additionally, this benefits everyone around them.

Interestingly, thinking, speaking, and behavior matters even globally. Let’s explore.

Once-in-awhile, a burner on my stovetop “goes nova!” Unexplainably, it just gets super hot. Interestingly, it even glows! Needless to say, that makes it challenging to cook. As I ponder that frustrating phenomenon, I find myself reflecting about when life heats up and “goes nova!”

When life heats up, you must –

  • Manage the heat.
  • Address critical details.
  • Try not to get burned.
  • Maneuver as skillfully as possible.
  • Pray for God’s help.

 

Have you ever gone nova?

Contentment is a critical piece needed to live a healthy life.
