Weekend Love Quotes

Do you have a favorite “love” quote?  Share it with the rest of us by typing it  in the comments below.

Love Quotes

Love and you shall be loved.
– Ralph Waldo Emerson

Think lovingly, speak lovingly, act lovingly, and every need shall be supplied.

Jesus said unto him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.

Having Trouble Forgiving Others?

I was watching a movie recently and was reminded of something about forgiveness that many people fail to realize.  I’ll tell you what that is in just a minute.  But first, let me ask you something.

Have you ever had someone hurt you so badly that you thought you would never forgive them for what they did to you?  In your mind, that person did not deserve to be forgiven.  Have you ever felt that if you did forgive them, it would be like letting them off the hook for what they did?

We have all experienced hurt to one degree or another.  And, it seems that the deeper the hurt, the harder it is to forgive.  Some people feel that by not forgiving the one who hurt them, they are actually hurting or even punishing the perpetrator.  Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Why Let Someone Have Power Over You?

The person who chooses to hold on to the anger, hurt and bitterness is the one paying the price.  In fact, holding on to the hurt and not forgiving, actually gives the one who did the hurting power over the one they hurt.  In other words, by not forgiving, you are choosing to continue to give that person power over you.

Very few realize this.  That is why I was surprised to see this in a movie Kathy and I watched on TV recently.  It was called, Diary of a Mad Black Woman.  It was so simply explained to the woman who had been very hurt, that until she forgave, she was allowing the one who hurt her to continue to have power over her.

Carrying the hurt is not only harmful to you mentally, but it is also detrimental to your physical body.  A number of medical studies show a connection between unresolved anger and physical illness.  The holistic approach to patient care acknowledges and addresses the mind-body connection.

The Bible tells us that “a merry heart does good like a medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.”  It talks about not going to sleep angry. It also discusses heaviness of the heart and sorrow of the heart in contrast to being glad and merry.

What Is Forgiveness?

Many times people are unwilling to forgive because they feel that in doing so it excuses the hurtful deed.  But forgiving someone does not in any way mean that what they did was not wrong.  Forgiving simply means that you are choosing not to exact punishment for what was done.

Biblically, to forgive means to refrain from exacting, as a payment or service; it means that no payment or service is needed. When someone’s monetary debt is canceled, it doesn’t mean that the person who owed the money was right in not paying their debt. Absolving a debt means that no more payment is due.

A great key in learning to forgive others is to remember that God has forgiven you.   Forgiveness from God means that there is no payment needed for your infraction.  Your wrong doing has been remitted.  Jesus Christ paid the price for you.

Have You Forgiven You?

However, many times people know that God has forgiven them, but they fail to forgive themselves.  In not forgiving themselves, they really aren’t accepting God’s forgiveness.   And, as a result, they end up carrying guilt and condemnation.

Now everyone knows that no one’s perfect. We all make mistakes, right?  Therefore, we all need forgiveness.   And God has lovingly provided this forgiveness through His Son, Jesus Christ who paid the price for all our sins.

Not accepting God’s forgiveness communicates that the price that has already been paid was not enough.  It would be like you owing a thousand dollars and someone paid that debt for you, but you still feeling like you owed the money.  When it comes to God forgiving you, the price has been paid in full.

The Bible talks about being imitators of God as “His dear children.”  Therefore, I can forgive others not because I am supposed to, but because of who I am. I am His child, and He said to imitate His love.  I forgive others because of who I am.  I am His child.  I am loved.  I am forgiven.

Forgiving Others

So, first, forgive others because of who you are, and what God has done for you.   Secondly, when you forgive others, it gives you freedom. Living with anger, bitterness and hurt holds you captive; you are a prisoner!

And consider this.  So many times, those who have hurt you have moved on; they no longer even think about it.  Yet, there you are, being held captive by your own thoughts and emotions.  That is not freedom.

Release your anger, bitterness and hurt.  Choose to hold thoughts of “no payment due.”  Remember, you are not saying that what they did was right; you are simply excusing them from retribution.

And thirdly, remember that the Bible says that we are to forgive others even as we ourselves have been forgiven.  God has never said to you that what you did was so bad that He was not going to forgive you.  I don’t know about you, but I’m very glad about that.

Have You Considered Him?

And here’s one more point to consider.  Jesus Christ was illegally arrested, falsely accused, subjected to a mock trial, savagely beaten and tortured, and, nailed to the cross.

We can only imagine the physical pain he endured.  But what about the pain of being rejected that he endured?  He was the long awaited Messiah.  The religious leaders did not welcome him with open arms.  Instead they challenged him at every turn, and eventually engineered his arrest and execution.

If anyone ever had the right to not forgive it was Jesus.  And yet, in that moment of pain and suffering, hanging there in shame and humiliation, being mocked and reviled by almost everyone, he uttered the words, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

Forgiving others is a choice.  It starts with accepting God’s forgiveness for what you have done, and you in turn forgiving yourself.  Then, you can, and you ought to choose to forgive others.

Editing Your Thoughts

Okay, here I go again.  Not everyone who visits this blog is a subscriber to my free weekly newsletter, called, The Pep Letter.  And because I thought yesterday’s article was worth repeating, here it is.

This article is about editing your thoughts. We edit things we write, but do you think any of your thoughts need editing?  Does it really matter?  What do you think?

Edit Your Thoughts

Typing away on your computer you have no doubt had the spell checker engage when you misspell a word.  That handy red line appears under the word that is identified with an incorrect spelling.  Most of these programs even give you a list of possible correct spellings for that particular word.

I know when I type an article, it is important to me to have all the words spelled correctly.  So I appreciate the spell checker feature.  For me, it is a very helpful tool in editing what I write.

Of course, when it comes to speaking, most of the time we do not have a grammar checker in our brain.  Many of us use incorrect grammar when we talk.  But for the most part, we all seem to get by and understand each other.

But what about editing your thoughts?  We all have thousands of thoughts pop in our heads every single day.  Do we need to edit those? Is that something that needs to concern us?

The answer to that question depends upon whether or not you believe that your thoughts affect your life.  The Bible is very clear about the effect your thoughts have on your life.  Self help and motivational speakers as well as teachers have been talking about it for a very long time.

The Bible says that we ought to guard our heart with all diligence because from it are the issues of life; our life.  It also states that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.  And of course, the verse that has been referred to for centuries: as one thinks in his own heart, so is he.

Perhaps you have heard a self help or motivational speaker talk about how our thoughts determine our lives.  Maybe you have read something similar in a book.  It has been said by countless people for many, many years that you can change your circumstances by first changing your thoughts.

If all that is true, then I say we do indeed need a “thought checker.”  We need to recognize if something we are thinking about is not productive.  We really do need to edit our thinking.

How do we do that?  It’s really quite simple, but it does take a little effort.  But, the effort is well worth it.

First we need to make a decision to monitor our thoughts.  We need to take note of what we are thinking.  The best place to start is with your thoughts about yourself.

Each and every thought you have about yourself must be monitored and evaluated.  You can decide to either allow that thought to stay, or determine that it needs to go. If it needs to go, then you toss it out of your mind and replace it with something that is profitable and beneficial to your life.

For example, you may be thinking about how you can’t possibly expect to be financially successful.  You may have all kinds of reasons and experiences to back up that kind of thinking.  And so, you accept the thinking that you are one of those persons who just needs to settle.

That is in fact destructive thinking.  When you recognize that kind of thinking, you need to stop right then and there and simply say, “No!”  Refuse to accept that kind of thinking, and throw those thoughts out the window.

Next, replace those thoughts with positive, encouraging thoughts.  Stop allowing your experiences, or the odds, or your present circumstances to dictate how the rest of your life is to be.  As he thinks in his heart, so is he.

The Bible is full of God’s promises of success.  He wants you to be happy and blessed in all that you do.  But He will not get inside of your brain and change your thinking; that is something that you must do.

People in every walk of life who are successful do not have a lousy opinion of themselves.  They do not think that they can’t achieve, rather they think and believe that they can.  They actually see themselves achieving the things that they desire.

It all starts with deciding which thoughts you want to entertain and keep.  Your thoughts, like a rudder on a great ship will set the direction and course for your life.  Change and adjust the rudder by tossing out destructive thoughts, then replace them with productive thoughts.

You can change your life today, one thought at a time.

October 31

Today there are many who are engaged in activities surrounding Halloween.  But October 31 is also the anniversary of the Reformation, led by Martin Luther.  It is noteworthy that Luther’s study of the Scriptures illuminated his eyes to what was going on in the organized Church in his day and time.

Luther did not intend to “confront the Church,” but rather, wanted to have a scholarly debate concerning a number of practices that he felt were very wrong.

In 1516–17, Johann Tetzel, a Dominican friar and papal commissioner for indulgences, was sent to Germany by the Roman Catholic Church to raise money to rebuild St Peter’s Basilica in Rome. Roman Catholic theology stated that faith alone, whether fiduciary or dogmatic, cannot justify man; and that only such faith as is active in charity and good works (fides caritate formata) can justify man. The benefits of good works could be obtained by donating money to the church.

On 31 October 1517, Martin Luther wrote to Albrecht, Archbishop of Mainz and Magdeburg, protesting the sale of indulgences. He enclosed in his letter a copy of his “Disputation of Martin Luther on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences,” which came to be known as The 95 Theses. Hans Hillerbrand writes that Luther had no intention of confronting the church, but saw his disputation as a scholarly objection to church practices, and the tone of the writing is accordingly “searching, rather than doctrinaire.”

Hillerbrand writes that there is nevertheless an undercurrent of challenge in several of the theses, particularly in Thesis 86, which asks: “Why does the pope, whose wealth today is greater than the wealth of the richest Crassus, build the basilica of St. Peter with the money of poor believers rather than with his own money?”

Luther objected to a saying attributed to Johann Tetzel that “As soon as the coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory [also attested as ‘into heaven’] springs.” He insisted that, since forgiveness was God’s alone to grant, those who claimed that indulgences absolved buyers from all punishments and granted them salvation were in error. Christians, he said, must not be slacken in following Christ on account of such false assurances.

The sale of indulgences shown in A Question to a Mintmaker, woodcut by Jörg Breu the Elder of Augsburg, circa 1530.

According to Philipp Melanchthon, writing in 1546, Luther “wrote theses on indulgences and posted them on the church of All Saints on 31 October 1517”, an event now seen as sparking the Protestant Reformation. Some scholars have questioned Melanchthon’s account, since he did not move to Wittenberg until a year later and no contemporaneous evidence exists for Luther’s posting of the theses. Others counter that such evidence is unnecessary because it was the custom at Wittenberg university to advertise a disputation by posting theses on the door of All Saints’ Church, also known as “Castle Church”.

The 95 Theses were quickly translated from Latin into German, printed, and widely copied, making the controversy one of the first in history to be aided by the printing press. Within two weeks, copies of the theses had spread throughout Germany; within two months throughout Europe.

Luther’s writings circulated widely, reaching France, England, and Italy as early as 1519. Students thronged to Wittenberg to hear Luther speak. He published a short commentary on Galatians and his Work on the Psalms. This early part of Luther’s career was one of his most creative and productive. Three of his best-known works were published in 1520: To the Christian Nobility of the German Nation, On the Babylonian Captivity of the Church, and On the Freedom of a Christian.

Origins Of Halloween

It’s not my favorite holiday.  But I’m not here to spoil anybody’s fun and be a party pooper. Wait.  Let me look up the definition of “party pooper.”

It says, “a person who hasn’t the interest or vitality to participate actively in a social party and whose mood, attitude, or personality lessens others’ enjoyment.”  Okay, so maybe I am a party pooper on this one.

I’ll just step aside and give you the origins of Halloween.

Halloween’s origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in).

The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1. This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death.

Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31, they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth.

In addition to causing trouble and damaging crops, Celts thought that the presence of the otherworldly spirits made it easier for the Druids, or Celtic priests, to make predictions about the future. For a people entirely dependent on the volatile natural world, these prophecies were an important source of comfort and direction during the long, dark winter.

To commemorate the event, Druids built huge sacred bonfires, where the people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities.  During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each other’s fortunes.

When the celebration was over, they re-lit their hearth fires, which they had extinguished earlier that evening, from the sacred bonfire to help protect them during the coming winter.

By A.D. 43, Romans had conquered the majority of Celtic territory. In the course of the four hundred years that they ruled the Celtic lands, two festivals of Roman origin were combined with the traditional Celtic celebration of Samhain.

The first was Feralia, a day in late October when the Romans traditionally commemorated the passing of the dead. The second was a day to honor Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and trees. The symbol of Pomona is the apple and the incorporation of this celebration into Samhain probably explains the tradition of “bobbing” for apples that is practiced today on Halloween.

By the 800s, the influence of Christianity had spread into Celtic lands. In the seventh century, Pope Boniface IV designated November 1 All Saints’ Day, a time to honor saints and martyrs. It is widely believed today that the pope was attempting to replace the Celtic festival of the dead with a related, but church-sanctioned holiday.

The celebration was also called All-hallows or All-hallowmas (from Middle English Alholowmesse meaning All Saints’ Day) and the night before it, the night of Samhain, began to be called All-hallows Eve and, eventually, Halloween. Even later, in A.D. 1000, the church would make November 2 All Souls’ Day, a day to honor the dead.

It was celebrated similarly to Samhain, with big bonfires, parades, and dressing up in costumes as saints, angels, and devils. Together, the three celebrations, the eve of All Saints’, All Saints’, and All Souls’, were called Hallowmas.

So now you have a little history.  What do you think?  I think I need a piece of candy right about now.  You?

Have a safe weekend.

Who Is Stopping You?

What Cliff Young did 27 years ago is still inspiring people today.  Maybe you know his story.  I thought it would inspiring to relate it again today.

Cliff Young is still a hero in Australia.  And there are some parallels from his story that all of us could apply today.  That’s because there are a lot more obstacles in our world today then there were a few short years ago.

Many people are confused about what has happened and afraid of what is going to happen.  There are some who believe that because of the current economic situation, success is no longer an option; they feel like everything is against them.

This Guy Is Nuts!

But back in 1983 there were plenty of people who thought that Cliff Young was out of his mind, absolutely crazy to even consider running in a race.  After all, this was no ordinary race.  This was the Sydney to Melbourne race, considered to be the world’s toughest race.  The distance is 875 kilometers, or just over 543 miles!

That year almost every one in Australia who found out Cliff was participating thought it was insane for him to undertake such an impossible feat.  The reason they thought it was impossible for Cliff was because Cliff was not a runner.  He had never even participated in a run before.  On top of that, he was 61 years old.  Many feared that he would die trying.

The Sydney to Melbourne race takes at least 5 days to finish.  Cliff Young entered the race against world-class athletes. He accomplished the unthinkable and inspired the whole nation.

Nobody Told Cliff!

The professional athletes participating in that race knew that in order to complete the race, you would need to run 18 hours and then sleep for 6 hours. But Cliff Young, having no experience in these kinds of events, did not know that he should limit himself to running only 18 hours a day.

The morning after the race began, much to everyone’s surprise, Cliff was not only still in the race but had not stopped for the night.  He was still far behind the world-class athletes, but he just kept on running, even waving to spectators watching the event on the highways.

Cliff  kept running. Every night he got just a little bit closer to the runners leading the pack. By the last night, he passed all of the world-class athletes. By the last day, he was far in front of them.

And The Winner Is…

Not only did he run the Melbourne to Sydney race at age 61, non-stop, without dying, he won first place, breaking the race record by 9 hours and becoming a national hero!

Australia fell in love with the 61-year-old potato farmer who came from nowhere to defeat the world’s best long distance runners.  He finished a 543 mile race in 5 days, 15 hours and 4 minutes.

Cliff did not know that he was supposed to sleep during the race.  He said when running throughout the race, he imagined that he was chasing sheep and trying to outrun a storm. He wasn’t even aware that there was a prize for first place.

When Cliff was awarded the first prize of $10,000, he said he did not know there was a prize and insisted that he had not entered for the money. He said, “There are five other runners still out there doing it tougher than me,” and he gave them $2,000 each. He did not keep a single penny for himself. This act endeared him to all of Australia.

How’s Your Race Going?

So what is stopping you from doing the things that you want to do in your life?  Is it the economy?  Is it the uncertainty of our times?  Have you decided to give up and just accept things as they are?

Cliff believed he could run that race, even though from all appearances it was impossible and no one believed in him.  He had persistence.  He simply decided to keep moving forward.

I don’t know if Cliff believed in God, but regardless of the economy and regardless of the odds, none of that puts our God out of business.  For those who do believe in God, we not only keep moving forward toward our dreams with persistence, but we put our trust in a loving God Who truly does want to see us succeed.

What is stopping you?  It may not be the current situations we face today.  It could just very possibly be you who is stopping you.

Penguins On The Plane

I have never heard of this.  In fact, I have never even thought of this.  But it happened on a flight from San Diego to Phoenix.

Yesterday morning I picked up Chris, an employee of the company I work for, around 9:30.  As I was driving him to the office, I casually asked about the flight.  I couldn’t believe his answer.

He said, “There were penguins on the plane!”  “Are you kidding me?” I asked.  “Dude, they were walking down the isle, he said.

“No way,” I said in total disbelief.  “Check this out,” he said excitedly pulling out his smart phone.  “I got pictures!”

I glanced at the picture on his phone and just could not believe it.

Yes, there were indeed penguins on the plane, in the cabin, on his flight.

The birds were being transported from the San Diego Zoo to the Phoenix Zoo.

The flight attendants thought it would be fun for the passengers to see the penguins, so they took them out of their cages for a few minutes.  Then, it was back in the cages which were setting in the extra space in row 1.  Yes, of course it was Southwest Airlines.

Have You?

Have you ever seen penguins on the plane?  Have you ever even expected to see penguins on a plane? I have flown a lot in my lifetime and have seen a lot of interesting things, but never have I seen any penguins on the plane.

In fact, I have never even thought about penguins on a plane.

Later in the afternoon I started thinking about the times when God did something very special for me in my life; something that I just didn’t expect. Has God ever surprised you?

And then I thought about the verse in the Bible that says that God is able to that which is exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think.

Now of course I know that God did not put the penguins on the plane to surprise everyone.  That’s silly.  But I think it serves as a pretty cool reminder that there are things that God is able to do for us that we haven’t even thought of.

Never forget that God really does love you.  You are His child.  And He has promised us that He really is able to do that which is exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think.
