NEVERTHELESS AT YOUR WORD

TO BE YOUR BEST AT YOUR WORST YOU NEED TO REMEMBER THESE FOUR WORDS.

NEVERTHELESS AT YOUR WORD.....

The story of Peter, the boat, & the fish.

God told peter to take his boat out and recast his nets. Peter replied; " Lord, we have toiled all night and caught nothing" Peter was a fisherman afterall and they had just cleaned their nets and dried them for the next day. Peter had a bit of an attitude becuse he is thinking; "Man we just got them dried and put away. What is the sence in doing it again. We will not catch anything now. What a waste of energy and time. Perhaps even, I (PETER) am the fisherman you (JESUS) are just a carpenter. Let me do the fishing and you do the building." All that went trough Peter's mind then Peter replied; "NEVERTHELESS AT YOUR WORD... I will recast the nets as you said."

How many times have you had the chance to say, "Nevertheless at your word, Lord" and have said something else.

Perhaps a selfish know it all better then you attitude is not what is pleaseing to God.

Perhaps we should look at Jesus as the know it all and not ourselves.

HE DOES WANT US TO SAY,"NEVERTHELESS AT YOUR WORD,LORD"

Regardless of the cituations we face or how bad it may look or hurt we can say those four words and know that we are in the hands of the master.

Time spent well. Time spent poorly

Let's start with this ? first.
Do YOU spend more time completing or competing with those you are in relationship with?

THE CAR VS. THE MOTORCYCLE

When we drive alone in a car you are O.K. When with someone we sit SIDE BY SIDE and both can see the road. If the driver does not see something and the passenger does the passenger can tell the driver to watch out. They can work as a team because they are side by side. If you both try to drive your dead because both can't drive. If the driver turns the car you both go the same way because you are side by side as a team.

When you ride on a motorcycle alone you are O.K. Maintaining balance is no problem.When you have a rider you sit one behind the other you must work as a team and BALANCE is key.

You must both lean the same direction going into the turns or you will crash because you did not stay balanced and leaned different ways.

Either you can celebrate your differences and work side by side spending time well OR

You can spend your time poorly, unbalanced and not walking side by side.

Either way you still need to realize that teamwork is required. It is just the point of view going through the turns that offers the biggest challenge. If you are side by side you will see more.

GBY,

The marriage wrecks happen in the turns my friend.

POWER--- POWER OR WEAKNESS?

When you lose your power you then rely on something or someone to give it to you.
The reason you have people who drain you in your life is because you have given your power away to them.
When your worth is counted or connected to the external you will always be unfulfilled and
co-dependent.
If you are always apologizing for your worth, your wealth will never increase to it's fullest in Christ.

As a healing co-dependent I see this as one of the greatest challenges.
Boundaries and Power in Christ will lead to balance.
May God help us both to reach that goal.
