“It’s easy to blame someone else. You just point a finger at them. But, have you ever noticed where the other three are pointing when  you do that?

“When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen.”

Ernest Hemingway

That is completely true!

Are you going to church? Did you listen completely to the sermon last Sunday? I am actually asking myself that question right now. How much do I remember from the sermon?

What does the Lord Jesus Christ say in  Matthew 7:24?

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.”

How can we put things into practice, if we don’t listen completely?

“A chip on the shoulder is an indication of wood higher up.”

Have you heard that expression?

I heard this story:

A lady is really going through tough times at the moment. I don’t need to tell you the details. But it is a difficult time for her.

And listen to this. Friends are asking her, “Why are you still smiling? How come that you are carrying on as if nothing very much has happened? ” I am talking about christian friends. Her answer is, ” The Lord is sustaining me!” She has a wonderful testimony.

“You can’t win.” A wise person told her. “If you would be all miserable and sad and grumbling, people would say to you, ‘You are a christian, are you not? Where is your faith’ “?

You really can’t win.

I am reading in an insurance brochure the following: “Building a long term relationship comes from earning your trust and respect.”

I like that!

It is a joy to deal with business people who have a living relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Why? You respect them and you know you can trust them.

Do you know business people like that?

There are not very many around.

We need to preach the GOSPEL!

In a beautiful brochure insurance professionals are witing this: “We are dealing with people’s lives , their business , their futures. We must provide solutions that fit.”

I am praising the Lord Jesus Christ, that He is dealing with my life, my business, my future.

I am praising the Lord Jesus Christ, that He is providing solutions, the perfect solutions, for me. He has done so in the past. He is doing it now. He is going to do it in the future.

And not only for this life, but also for the life to come.

Praise his name!
