It isn't the load that weighs us down---it's the way we carry it.

A Christian woman on her knees sees more than the philosopher on tiptoe.

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace. Romans 14:19 How good it is when two parties do not see eye to eye, yet agree to disagree. Is it really possible to set aside irreconcilable differences? That's one of the questions the apostle Paul answers in Romans. He was writing to readers caught in social, political, and religious conflict. He suggests ways of finding common ground even under the most polarized conditions. The way to agree to disagree is to recall that each of us will answer to God not only for our opinions but also for how we treat one another in our differences. All of us will answer for whether we have loved on another, and even out enemies, as Christ loved us. Lets pray that God our Father enables us to be patient and kind with those who don't agree with us about anything or everything.

Women, when we are looking for a breakthrough, instead of attempting to achieve one in our own power and wisdom, we must seek God. Listen to what He has to say, and then follow His wisdom. Here is a Biblical example: "So(Israel) came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote (the Philistines) there , the David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like the bursting forth of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim (Lord of breaking through)." 1 Chronicles 14:11 Amplified Bible Classic Edition

I know I'm worthy because God directs my every step as I walk closer to Him. Have you read your Bible today? As we read the Bible we can remain sensitive to the Holy Spirit's guidance and directions. What steps would you like me to take today, Lord? I'm listening.
