Intentional

Good day people! It is time to start our week out strong in The Lord! One word we would like to focus on is intentional. In order to achieve anything in life, it has to be intentional. We have to train our minds for faith, love, peace, and joy. Those things are not just going to come out of thin air. Oftentimes, we expect God to do something when He is actually waiting on us to use what He has already given us. He gave us His Word, His Spirit, and His Son. What more do we need? Jesus coming was intentional to save us from hell. His life on earth was intentional to set an example for all of how we are suppose to live as believers. The Cross was intentional to cover the sins of the whole world. His ressurection was intentional because it displayed God's Faithfulness and Power. Jesus lived with the intentions of setting us free. We must live with the intentions of being free. It's all in our mind. Just as the old saying states, "A mind is a terrible thing to waste." Nothing good can happen if we think negative all of the time. God wants us to deposit more positive words in our mind that will produce positive actions which leads to a positive lifestyle. Yes, the things we speak hold weight, but don't forget our thoughts can be lively or deadly as well. So be intentional this week. Love intentionally. Be happy on purpose. I know it's Monday, but you are alive and God didn't have to do that for you. Best way to train our minds is to stay in The Word. Let His intentions be your intentions! Have a good week!
