On Life: More Lessons

I've learnt to appreciate the peace of mind that comes from God.
I've learnt that other people deserve to be forgiven when they upset me.

I've learnt not to let the sun go down on my anger.

I've learnt that what matters is not really my comfort, but what I have been called to do.

I've learnt that I need to let go of my pride.

I've learnt that I need to be more patient.

I've learnt that I cannot expect to live without God's strength.

I've learnt that money is good, but it should not be abused.

I've learnt that I am inherently selfish and I need God to help me deal with that.

I've learn that I can't or shouldn't even try to hide from God.

I've learnt that even when I don't understand the situations I find myself, God is still in control.

I've learnt that I need God's grace to carry out the tasks ahead of me.

I've learnt that I have been called to serve others, not the other way round.

I've learnt that God is never late, He's always on time.

I've learnt again, that God is faithful even when I'm not.

I've learnt that God is absolutely crazy about me!

    My devotional taught on convictions on Monday and was enjoined to write our personal convictions. In life one of the greatest lessons I have learnt is about God: With God I'm unstoppable but without God I am as empty as EMPTY can be!

    have a great february

    I'm glad that you were able to turn to God when things weren't going well and look at all the wonderful things you learned (or were reminded of!).

    I'm not pleased with how fast this year is going. If I'm not careful it'll be June and I'll be wondering where half the year went.

    Have a lovely and productive February, Favoured One :)

    Life is like a school!
    Every experience is a lesson learned and when we die, we graduate...those who come out in distinctions to greater glory...those who don't...well..

    Hopefully you feel better, sorry to know you have the flu. I missed you. The greatest and best thing you did was to commit all to God. It shall be well, keep writing, no excuses. All will be well. Greet hubby for us.
