Snippet #2 - proverbs 15:1

-

 Hey guys! I'm late with snippet #2 but here it is.


     Lab was quiet as he thought. Then he looked at Jase and asked, "If you did apologize to her, would you really mean it?"   

    Taken aback, Jase stared at him. "Of course I would," he responded defensively.        

     "Hey, don't get upset," Lab said cautiously. "I'm not attacking you, but, from what I've seen, you don't like Mari any more than she likes you. If she snaps at you, you snap right back at her. Vice versa."

     Jase shook his head. He didn't believe what was said to him, yet somehow he had a feeling that he was in the wrong.

     Lab shrugged. "I'm just sayin', it might be easier to apologize to her if you really mean it and you don't have hard feelings. Holding a grudge won't help." He added, "A soft word turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."

     Jase sighed. He wanted to argue that Mari was always the one to start the fight, but he knew it wasn't entirely true. And he understood that even if she had started the fight, he was wrong for being mean right back. His heated reactions only fueled the fire.

Don't step out on your own

  Stepping out on your own should be scary.      Everyone likes to go with the flow. Some people, like me, dream of doing things differently. We see these movies and videos everywhere about people who made a difference, a change in the world, by turning a different way from the rest of the world. What everyone else said was right might have been wrong. Or maybe people were making choices, but somebody realized there's a better way and acted on it. Whatever the reason, whether anyone stood by them or not, these people did what they thought was right. They went a new way.      Now being alone is scary. It's much easier to follow a path someone else has travelled than to pave your own. Have you ever wanted to step onto an unknown path, but instead planted your foot in dense jungle, so you immediately retreat back to the main road? Yeah! That unknown path you were looking for, it was created by somebody else. There's nothing unknown about it. And all the c...

Galations 5 | Burning Ships and Not Looking Back

 Does Burn the Ships Mean Forget the Past? (How do I not look back?)       Galations 5:1      For freedom CHRIST has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.      So all who have faith in JESUS, that he died for our sins and rose again so that one day, either when we die or on the last day, we he will bring us to life in heaven with Him, are free. All that believe in JESUS are free. But how do we stand firm? And what is a yoke of slavery?      Well, to answer the first question, let me say this: we cannot do any good thing, or even anything at all on our own. Standing firm requires faith and trust. According to biblekeeper.com, "Faith is the first step, where individuals choose to believe in GOD's promises and redemptive plan." "Trust is a deep belief and reliance on GOD's character, wisdom, and promises. It acts as a steadfast foundation,  particularly when faced with trials t...
