Beauty tips

Focusing on the Eternal
By Leslie Ludy

The greatest danger is letting the urgent things crowd out the important. (Charles E Hummel)

This week, take a daily inventory of the seemingly urgent things in your life, and then contrast them to the things that are truly important in your life. Taking extra time in the morning to journal, read our Bible, or simply worship our Prince is far more valuable than rushing to meet the demands of the culture.
Spending time deepening an important relationship, or slowing down enough to really listen to someone will reap far more eternal fruit than rushing to meet a deadline. Yet we so often forget that simple truth. When you lie in bed at night, review the events of your day and ask yourself, “Did I do anything truly important today, or did I simply accomplish meaningless urgent tasks?” As we realign our life toward our Prince’s priorities, we will become vibrant and healthy, marked by unwavering peace and joy that cannot be taken away by the constant pressures of the world.

Take time to analize your day. I encourage you to discover the beauty there is within everyday. Just as the word of God says it, the mercies of God are new everyday, therefore, you can live everyday under the amazing grace and power of God, because it is only through His new mercies that you and I move, live and breath.
Find the everyday gifts in your life; they can be as simple as a smile, or a word of encouragement, or just an "I love you."

You can live everyday under the shadow of the Almighty, and enjoy the joy, peace, and love you've been looking for.

In hot pursuit,
