Inspire Me - Everytime

Just putting it out there.

God Bless



Today's Quotation:

Every single time you help someone stand up, you are helping humanity rise.

Steve Maraboli


Today's Meditation:

I have found that it is quite easy in life to forget that every person I encounter truly is my brother and sister--that I am dealing with a fellow human being who is going through a similar experience in life as I myself am, handling some of the very same issues, feeling some of the very same joys and sorrows. Yet when I take the time to see the humanity within those I meet, I cannot help but feel compassion towards them. And when I feel compassion towards my fellow man, it becomes easy to help them to stand back up when they fall or are in need of a hand.

Every day of our lives, we have numerous opportunities to connect with other humans and enrich both of our lives significantly. And as Steve points out, in doing so, we additionally are helping the whole of humanity to rise and to grow stronger--we are helping the world to become a better place and a better experience for all of us here.

It may be easy for us to categorize those we meet today--this is a cashier at the convenience store, this is my waitress, this is the checkout handler at the grocery store. But no one is a machine. We all have feelings, dreams, and perspectives on life that are just as valid as the next.

Help those around you today. Recognize the humanity within others--the thoughts, hopes, fears, dreams, ambitions, desires, and sufferings--and then extend a helping hand and a compassionate heart.

Today's Challenge: Help someone "stand up" today.


Questions to consider:

Can you think of any opportunities you may have had to help someone stand up today?

Is it easy for you to see the humanity in other people, or do you tend to take them for granted?

What would the world be like if we all recognized and respected the humanity in all of the other people that we meet each day?


For further thought:

Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time, and always start with the person nearest you.

There Is No Use

Probably my worst weakness and I don't mind saying it.

I am always in need of encouragement. So, I thought I would share the wealth. 

God Bless.


Daily Wisdom Bible Study

Chronological Bible Study from the book of Proverbs
 by Christian Channel
There is No Use for a Lazy Man – (Proverbs 19:15)
There is No Use for a Lazy Man – (Proverbs 19:15)

Daily Proverbs

Laziness casts one into a deep sleep, and an idle person will suffer hunger.

Daily Bible Study

It's interesting to note that the Bible calls for mercy and compassion on many types of behavior and social conditions. For many sins, God tells us to show love and understanding. However, the Bible only speaks contempt for laziness. It's a very true saying, "nothing can be done with a person who won't get out of bed." Laziness or slothfulness as the Bible also calls it, is the one sin that truly wastes all of God's blessings and gifts. Laziness is the one sin that nullifies all the gifts God has given a person. It's a sin that truly wastes the gifts of God and man. Moreover, it's one of the only sins which a righteous God and sinful men both hate. Laziness is also one of the hardest sins for us to change or remove, because it can so intertwine itself into the heart of a person. Laziness attacks our very soul, it affects the mind, body and spirit. Laziness is the one sin that actually changes the character and the very nature of a person. This means that unfortunately there is little we can do to change a person who has the sin of laziness. However, what's impossible for us to change or cure, is possible for God. What's impossible for us to accomplish in our fallen state, is possible for a holy, omnipotent, sovereign God to heal and remove.

And that's why prayer and the work of the Holy Spirit is so important in the lives of the Christian. It's the process of sanctification worked out in us by the Holy Spirit, which changes a man's heart from the inside out. And the process of sanctification starts when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Only through salvation can God change the character of a person and turn them into a fruitful child of God. In addition, once that change has taken place and we become children of God adopted into the family of God through faith in Christ, we can come before God the Father in prayer. God not only hears our prayers, but prayer is one of the many gifts of our salvation. Prayer is the gift of communication and relationship with God. Through prayer, we can strengthen our relationship with the sovereign God of the universe. Moreover, through prayer, we can participate in God's kingdom work and affect change in the lives of Christians all around the world. Through prayer we can ask God to truly change the heart and the nature of a person who has the nature of laziness. Therefore, we are to place our trust in the Lord and His work in our lives and the lives of others. Part of the way in which we do this, is to make sure we spend time with the Lord in prayer, in the study of His word and on our knees making intercession for those who need God's assistance.

Praise Him Again

Food for the soul written in the words below...

God Bless.



Praise Him Again

Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my Savior and my God! (NLT)
Psalms 42:11

Life is full of struggles but we can’t let our circumstances be our excuse not to praise our worthy God. The psalmist acknowledged his heartbreak but declared his resolve to praise God again. Has life made you question where your hope lies? Pain is a part of what it is to be human but God is still good and deserves your praise.

Quote Of The Day - Don’t Use People

Leaving it right here.

God Bless.
