10/27–Start Your Day Off Right Series 

Quote:

10/27—I would rather regret the things that I have done and then the things that I have not 

Lucille Ball

Story:

10/27–Trying win over a critic that can’t be impressed is a bad idea. We have to understand and accept that not everyone is going to like us and not everyone is going to agree with us. 

Twenty-Five Percent don’t like us and won’t no matter what we do, 25% don’t like you but could be persuaded to like you, 25% like you but could be persuade to not like you, and 25% will like you and will stand by you no matter what. 

Life will get more free when we realize that if one person doesn’t like us, life will go on. I could send them flowers every day for two years and it won’t change anything. I could compliment them every hour and mow their lawn every week and they just choose not to like us. You don’t have to have their approval, their ok to be who God meant for you to be. If you will let that go, God will send you people who not only approve you but will support you fully, and celebrate you. 

You don’t have to walk on eggshells, you can relax. Quit wasting your time trying to win somebody over, that not matter what, is not going to be won over. 

Some are never going to be your friend. I’m just going to believe and trust God to bring me connections. If someone just will not like you, just think that they don’t know what they are missing. 

When you quit worrying about that 25%, then God will start moving the right people in your direction. One reason some people will never accept us is that they are so insecure. They think blowing out your candle will make theirs burn brighter.

They push you down to look bigger. They minimize to equalize. God will bring people that will add value and not diminish. Some people just like to argue and fight. If they are not with you, they are with someone else. They are in the fight mode. Even if you do win over one of your critics, two more will pop up. 

The best way to answer one of your critics is not with your words but with your actions. The best way is to let them see the fruit of a well lived life.

10/26–Be A Reflection

Story:

10/26–Criticizing is a little man’a tactics. It takes a big man to refrain from criticizing. Belittling others shows just how small you and your thinking really are.

 I’m not much for bragging or boasting it on myself but I am pretty generous to brag on others. 

A big man is not afraid of making others bigger. He doesn’t see it as a threat to his bigness. A big man doesn’t feel like he has to cut you down to make him feel bigger. 

When you find the good in people and sincerely complement them you show to me your bigness and your greatness. 

Philippians 2: 3-4. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 

If I put you higher than me and you put me higher than you then we will be equal! It does nothing for me to see others fail or not do good. It does not add anything to my success or stature. Bringing down others doesn’t lift me up any. 

Some people’s whole outlook is trying to find something wrong with someone. They have looked for the wrong so long the good seems to be hid from them. It takes a trained eye to look for the good and be able to spot it. It might take a little practice before you’re able to see the good if you’ve always looked for the bad. 

Little minded people major in the minor! They take some little insignificant point and blow it up into something that it is really not. 

Some people are merely legends in their own minds. They have nominated themselves and voted for themselves but nobody else paid any attention. Their continual criticizing others is part of them trying to get attention even though they’re going about it the wrong way.

Scripture:

Matthew 18:19-20

Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

 10/25–Can You Spare A Minute?

I feel like I had two mothers… my natural Mother and my wife’s mother, my spiritual mother.

One thing my Spiritual Mother  taught me was not to have pity parties.

She once told me that she had never gotten the Lord to do anything for her trying to get Him to feel sorry for her.

I have come to the same conclusion. You can plan the pity party, buy the cake, balloons and whistles but nobody ever comes.

I heard that 80% don’t care if you have a problem and the other 20% are even tickled about it!

Revenge feels like power in the moment—but it always bills you later with interest. It taxes your peace, your focus, and your future. Today, let’s trade payback for purpose.

“Do not say, ‘I will repay evil’; wait for the Lord, and He will deliver you.” — Proverbs 20:22

“Beloved, never avenge yourselves… ‘Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.’” — Romans 12:19

“Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” — Matthew 5:44

A quick story

Two hikers reached a narrow bridge. One muttered, “Don’t look down,” and hurried across. The other stared at the canyon, froze, and clung to the railing. Same bridge, different focus. Revenge makes you look down—into old hurts, insults, and scores to settle. Forgiveness fixes your eyes forward and frees your feet to move.

Why revenge backfires

It keeps you anchored to your offender. You replay their words and give them free rent in your head. It shrinks your world to one mission: “Get even,” instead of “Grow better.” It steals tomorrow’s strength to pay yesterday’s debt.

A better path (5 steps)

Name it, don’t nurse it. Write the hurt in one honest sentence. Then write who you want to become despite it. Pray before you speak. Ask God for the right response and the right timing. Silence can be strength. Bless, don’t blast. Do one small good deed that contradicts the cycle (a kind text, a respectful reply, a prayer). Move your energy upward. Channel the sting into training, learning, serving, creating—anything that builds you. Release the gavel. Tell God: “You judge this. I’ll pursue purpose.” Then keep going.

What forgiveness is (and isn’t)

Is: Obedience, strength, and a gift you give yourself. Isn’t: Excusing, forgetting, or trusting someone who hasn’t changed. Set boundaries and choose wisdom.

Say this today

“I refuse to be defined by what hurt me. I’m defined by the One who healed me.”

Prayer

“Lord, I place this hurt in Your hands. Guard my heart from bitterness. Give me courage to respond with wisdom, grace, and strength. Redirect my energy into what You’ve called me to build. Amen.”

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
