If you can’t find five minutes, can you spare one or two?

7/11– Can You Spare A Minute?

Love is the greatest and most powerful force on earth.  It is more powerful than any volcano, earthquake, or tornado.  If I have $100 and give you $50, how much do I have left? I have $50 and you have $50. But, if I give you all my love, then you have all that you will or can receive and I still have all the love I originally had (probably more). $10 plus $10 is only $20, but multiplied it becomes $100.  Is that not better?  Of course it is.

The Mighty Power Of Loyalty

“A faithful friend is a strong defense: and he that hath found such an one hath found a treasure.” — Ecclesiasticus (Sirach) 6:14
Loyalty is one of the rarest and most valuable qualities a person can possess. It is easy to stand with someone when life is going well. The true test of loyalty comes during times of hardship, disappointment, misunderstanding, and failure. Loyal people don’t abandon others when the road becomes difficult. They remain steady, dependable, and committed.
God has always demonstrated unwavering loyalty to His children. Even when we stumble, He continues to love us, forgive us, and patiently call us back to Himself. His faithfulness should inspire us to be faithful to Him and to those He has placed in our lives.
Loyalty doesn’t mean agreeing with everything someone does. Sometimes the most loyal friend is the one willing to lovingly speak the truth when it’s needed. Genuine loyalty seeks another person’s best, not simply their approval.
Our families need loyalty. Our churches need loyalty. Our workplaces need loyal employees. Friendships flourish when loyalty is present. A person known for keeping their word, standing by others, and refusing to gossip or betray confidence becomes someone others can trust.
The world often encourages people to look out only for themselves, but God calls us to something greater. He calls us to be people who can be counted on—people who finish what they start and remain faithful even when no one is watching.
Today, ask yourself:
● Am I loyal to God in both good times and bad?
● Can my family and friends depend on me?
● Do my words and actions build trust or weaken it?
Choose to be the kind of person whose loyalty reflects the faithful heart of God. Your steadfastness may become the very encouragement someone else needs to keep going.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your unfailing faithfulness to me. Help me to be loyal in my walk with You and faithful in every relationship You’ve entrusted to me. Give me integrity, steadfastness, and the courage to stand by others with love and truth. May my life reflect Your faithful heart in all I do. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Challenge for Today:
Reach out to someone who has been faithful in your life and thank them. Then look for one opportunity today to demonstrate loyalty through your words, your actions, or simply by being present for someone who needs encouragement.

Is your whole church singing out of the same songbook?

UNITY will MOVEtheCHURCH forward!

Story:

I read the following poem once that I would like to share with you. I’m sorry I do not know the author to credit. 

Opportunities Missed: There was a very cautious man Who never laughed or played; He never risked, he never tried, He never sang or prayed. And when he one day passed away His insurance was denied; For since he never really lived, They claimed he never died! 

How many reading this go through life playing defense? They are so afraid of making a mistake they don’t try anything. I say go for it because you never know until you try. I say play offense because life will only give back to you in proportion to that which have put in.

If you can’t find five minutes, can you spare just one or two?

7/10–Can You Spare A Minute?

Father to his son: don’t ever let anybody tell you that you can’t do something…. not even me.

If you have a dream…. you have to protect it! When people can’t do something themselves .. they want to tell you that you can’t do it. If you want something go get it, period.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate but that we are powerful beyond. measure! Is our light not our darkness is that for most frightens us. You’re playing small does not serve the

world there is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won’t feel insecure around you.

We were all meant to shine as children do. It’s not distant some of us it’s in everyone. As we unconsciously let our own light shine we give others permission to do the same as we are liberated from our own fear. Our presence automatically liberates others. In this lifetime, you don’t have to prove anything to nobody except yourself!! You need to keep negotiating with your mind to find more strength…. but you keep going.

Dream big, don’t ever give up. Help other people achieve success and you will be successful! The biggest seller is cookbooks and the second is diet books –how not to eat what you’ve just learned how to cook.

What Could You Be If You Gave 100%?

Scripture: “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.” — Colossians 3:23 (KJV)

One of the greatest habits you can develop is giving your very best in everything you do. Whether the task is large or small, seen by many or noticed by no one, excellence is a choice. God isn’t looking for perfection—He is looking for faithfulness.

Too many people settle for “good enough.” They do just enough to get by, just enough to avoid criticism, or just enough to meet the minimum requirement. But followers of Christ are called to a higher standard. We are to work with all our heart because our ultimate audience is not our boss, our family, or our friends—it is the Lord.

Giving 100% doesn’t mean you never get tired or that you never need to rest. God designed us to rest. Giving 100% means that when you are working, serving, loving, praying, or encouraging others, you give your full attention and your best effort. It means refusing to let laziness, excuses, or distractions rob you of the opportunity to honor God.

History is filled with people who accomplished extraordinary things simply because they refused to quit and gave everything they had. The same principle applies in our spiritual lives. A wholehearted Christian shines brightly in a world filled with half-hearted commitment.

Today, ask yourself:

  • Am I giving God my best or my leftovers?
  • Am I doing my work with excellence?
  • Am I serving others with enthusiasm?
  • Am I finishing what I start?

Remember, success isn’t always measured by the results you achieve. Often, it is measured by the effort, faithfulness, and heart you invest. God blesses those who are diligent, dependable, and committed.

Today, make the decision to give your very best. Give 100% in your attitude. Give 100% in your work. Give 100% in your relationships. Give 100% in your walk with God.

When you give your all to Him, you can leave the results in His hands.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for every opportunity You give me to serve You. Help me never to become lazy or complacent. Give me the strength to work with excellence, the wisdom to make the most of every opportunity, and the determination to give my very best in all I do. May my life reflect a wholehearted commitment to You and bring honor to Your name. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Anger Is A Terrible Master

“He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.” — Proverbs 16:32 (KJV)

Anger is one of the strongest emotions we experience. There are times when it is understandable—even righteous. But if left unchecked, anger can become a destructive force that damages relationships, clouds judgment, and robs us of peace.

The Bible never tells us never to be angry, but it does warn us not to let anger control us. A person who can conquer their own temper has achieved a greater victory than someone who conquers an army. Why? Because self-control requires strength that comes from God.

Most of us have said things in anger that we wished we could take back. Harsh words can leave scars that last for years. A few moments of uncontrolled emotion can undo months or even years of trust. That’s why it is so important to pause before reacting. A calm response often accomplishes far more than an angry outburst.

When someone disappoints you, insults you, or treats you unfairly, remember that you always have a choice. You can allow anger to take the steering wheel, or you can surrender your emotions to the Lord and respond with wisdom, grace, and patience.

Holding on to anger also hurts the one who carries it. Bitterness becomes a heavy burden. Forgiveness doesn’t excuse wrong behavior, but it frees your heart from the prison of resentment.

Today, ask God to help you guard your spirit. Let your words bring healing instead of hurt. Be known as someone who responds with gentleness when others expect harshness. Your calm spirit may become the very testimony that points someone else to Christ.

Challenge for Today: Before reacting to something that upsets you, pause and pray. Ask yourself, “Will my response honor God and help this situation?” Choose peace over pride and grace over anger.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, help me to rule my spirit and not allow anger to control my thoughts, words, or actions. Fill me with Your patience, wisdom, and love. Let my life reflect the gentleness of Christ, even in difficult moments. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
