Three things that destroy

Should you waste time talking to fools when you could be talking to Christ?

1. Anger destroys beyond our ability to measure. The wounds inflicted by anger can never be healed by a simple apology.
2. Pride-root of all sins. Displaces God and offers ourself as a substitute.
3. Unforgiveness - the bitterness of spirit that condemns.

Three things that never come back

Leave your nets. Pride is a Darth Vader of virtues - a Destroyer. I am a zero and you are a zero we are all zeros but put Jesus as the number 1 in front of all us zeros and what a vast number we become.

There are three things---gifts from God----- that come once and never come back:
1. Time
2. Words
3. Opportunity

He does not will that time is waster. don't pass time, kill time, consecrate it to God. Sanctify time consecrate it to God in the morning Offering as soon as you wake I will serve. Time is passing you can never bring it back.

Be careful with your words - our speech. remember the woman who gossips. Her penance was to go through the town and spread all the goose feathers in a pillow and when she finished go and pick them all up. Of course she couldn't that is problem with gossip it does its damage and that is that cannot be undone.

Highest thing we can do is worship God and sing His praises this is the best use of our words. Be careful about banality in our worship - danger is we worship ourselves instead of God.

Our God has given us one day. Opportunity knocks but once. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not yet here. Give us this day our daily bread. Make best of life if live each day as if the first and the last and the only one.

Thoughts

Oh had I but served my God with half the zeal I served myself. Psalm 62. Your love, Your love is better than life. Father look with pity on us ppressed by the weight of oour sins and grant us forgiveness through Christ our Lord. Your attitude must be that of Christ...He emptied Himself and took the form of a slave (Phil 2: 5-7)

When we put ourself first and raise our self importance we are throw-up ugly. We cannot be uglier. But when we humble ourself and put ourself last we are serenely beautiful. Jesus is so beautiful to me. He is everything I hoped for, He is everything I need. He is so beautiful to me.
