I decided to start this blog (2010) because my son, John-Robert gave me a One Year Bible for Christmas, the New Living Translation... reading it has changed my life... I post a daily Bible verse on my Facebook page every day and it has been well received... I thought that this would be a wonderful way to share part of what I read each day!... I hope that you enjoy it.



This Year 2012 I am going to do things a little different... not much...just a little. I am again reading through my One Year Bible (for the 3rd time). But I am also using "The Secret Power of Speaking God's Word" by Joyce Meyer. This book is divided by putting scriptures under different categories so they can be used to speak over our life situations. Each day I will read a category of scripture and pick a scripture in that category to write about.

7.29.11

Romans 12:21 Don't let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good.

My Thoughts
It is so easy to be godly when life is going good!...It is!  Its when you feel attacked that it can see hard to be godly...it can be hard to be godly!! That is why we need to be close enough to God that we ask him to step in and take over...that is when we need his strength to do what we are not able. Imagine if we were to always repay evil with good!... So many times when we are in a situation where somebody for no good reason just doesn't like us, maybe its a personality thing. I have had people not like me for being too sweet, truly I have!!  Sometimes people just aren't going to like us and some of those people are going to be unkind.  What if we decided to go out of our way... way out of our way to be sweet ever time they were ugly?  What if we did something like give them a card to have a good day... the day after they showed themselves not so nice.  What if we were to leave them a gift certificate to lunch on their desk after they screamed at us? What if we brought them a candy bar...sweets for the not so sweet?  Kindness in the face of not so kind would have to turn a person around... it could turn them around for good reasons... or it could turn their actions around just because they didn't want to look bad to others after somebody had been so sweet to them. Either way things would get better. Why, because we choose kindness over and eye for an eye! God in all His wisdom...oh we should never ignore that wonderful wisdom of God!
