Words for the Journey

Trying to live the life we were created for, while painful wounds are living is us, doesn’t work. That’s why God brought Joseph’s family back into his life, so he could be fully restored and free to lead Egypt in strength and wisdom. Joseph is an example for all of us.

When we disconnect from God, we put other things in his place, things that steer our life in the wrong direction. These false idols take our life captive. Today, Cyndy will share thoughts on how you can get your life back on track.

God often has a perspective that is different than ours, something we can solve by receiving truth and getting healing. Unhealed wounds and false beliefs can blind us, making it easy to head in destructive directions. Find out how you can abandon the Dirt Perspective and adopt the Peak Perspective. 

God clearly spells out two roads of which we can travel. His Word arms us with ample reasons and encouragement for choosing Trust Trail, as well as an equal amount of warnings why we should avoid Pride Pathway. Even so, making the right choice is difficult.

God has outlined for us two roads, roads I call "Trust Trail" and "Pride Pathway." One leads to life and happiness, the other to disappointment and destruction. There are reasons why we make the choices we do. Find out how you can avoid pain and suffering by traveling on Trust Trail.

Our beliefs affect how we conduct our life: every relationship, every decision, every reaction, which is why it is critical that we know what we believe, and that our beliefs line up with God’s Word. Otherwise, our beliefs will continually derail our life, leaving us disappointed and frustrated. Find out how you can get your beliefs back on track.

We all want to live a happy life, so does God, but stuff is holding us back. Just like the Israelites in Exodus, he's taking us to a good place, but we must follow him in order to get there. Getting to a great place in life hinges on our willingness to deal with our issues.

Learning from Joseph, Moses, David, and Paul, we will see a pattern God uses to prepare his children for their created purpose. Getting healthy has to come first before we can realize that purpose.  We need God’s biblical healing before we can achieve our dreams and see our passions fulfilled.

So many of us have deleted ourselves off the list of those Jesus loves and cares for because of the lives we’ve lived, just like the woman in Luke 7. After an encounter with Jesus, though, that can all change, as it did for her. We can begin to discover the truth that we are all worthy of love.

More and more, our world is characterized by hatred and division. How can we live as Jesus asks us to live in such a hostile world? While we can’t control the world, we can control ourselves and make a positive impact. We can follow Jesus and be known by our love.

Jesus was the model of the non-dualistic life, deliberately going outside the socially acceptable boundaries. As we follow him, we learn to remove the barriers, to accept others, to see similarities, not differences, and move into relationships with love. God will always supply us with love when ours runs out.

Living with an undivided heart means we see all people as part of our group, every nationality, color, religious belief, sexual orientation, political party, etc. Even closer to home, those in our family, church, neighborhood, and work place are to be included. Sectioning off groups and individuals is dualism and limits the life God asks us to live.

Dualism is an attitude of judgment and exclusion, defining those we will love and those we will hate or dismiss. Dualism creates divisions. God asks us to love as Jesus did, without parameters, seeing all people as equal, as God’s creations, worthy of respect. It is an attitude that starts in our heart.

As screens dominate our life more and more, we need to stop to examine and evaluate our habits. Too much screen time is not only unhealthy for our bodies, it is unhealthy for our soul. God never wants us to be captive to anything but his love.

Does a day go by when we don’t find ourselves saying, “But I don’t have time for that?” Find out why that is a lie. Managing our time wisely is a challenge, but we can succeed if we have an honest and truthful perspective about this gift God has given us.
