“God lights the path you walk. Sometimes you can see far ahead but other times you have only enough light to see where you are at the moment. These are the times that you need to take your next step completely with your faith in Him. Be brave and know that, although you might stumble, He will not let you fall.”

“No matter where we find ourselves, many times we desire more. The desire to better ourselves in normal; however, we need to be okay with where we are at the moment. Where we are now is all part of the journey God has us on. If we can’t learn to be happy in the present, we may never be truly content as we will always be chasing happiness and never catching it as we continually try to reach for the idea of an always better future.”

“I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” (Philippians 4:11-13 NIV)

“At times, we all face very difficult days. It is sometimes hard to not let these days drag you down until you tire and become full of despair. During these times, know that Jesus faced days like this too. He knows how you feel and wants you to take His hand as He walks with you towards the light of a new day.”

“Have you really gotten to the place where you can truly forgive the other person for the hurt they caused you? True forgiveness, not the kind when we just say the words – but the kind that comes from really letting go in our hearts, is what can set you free from the emotional ties that bind you to the other person. The other person has probably moved on while you are stuck reliving the past and unable to move forward. God has shown us how to forgive – learn from Him and set yourself free.”

“In your days of sorrow, know that you are never alone. You have a friend in God – a true and compassionate friend who knows how you feel. Through the loss of His friend Lazarus and through the death of His Son, He has felt the same sorrow that you do. He knows how you feel because He has shed His tears long before your tears flowed. Let Him wrap His arms around you and comfort you in your times of despair.” 

I hope you have an amazing day today my friends! – Elmer Laydon
