CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This world involves suffering and death.  We tend to want to ignore death, keep it at a distance.  Yet, one certainty in life is that we will die.  Another certainty is that we will suffer.  I need to do a better job at looking this suffering and death in the face.  Because when I do so, I go beyond the rigamarole of my daily existence.  It forces me to consider what I am about. . . what this world is about . . what the Creator is about.  It makes me look not just at the finite but the infinite.  And in my smallness, in my short time here in the face of eternity, it leads me to face God.

It is good to know that Jesus suffered to.  He did not run away from suffering or try to gloss over it.  He went to those who were suffering.  He didn’t give them some kind of sugar coated message about how everything was going to be happy and terrific for them.  What he did show them was the means to go beyond our worldly existence – he showed them that life, the truth, the Word as John writes in the bible, is so much more than what we generally think it is.  And, Jesus, God, showed us that he understands suffering.  He understands because he suffered too.  He was poor, shunned, mocked, beaten, torn apart, nailed to a cross.  But he rose again, showing us that we are more than death, we can conquer it, through Him we hold the key to victory.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.”

‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

http://bible.com/59/1ti.4.8.esv

We are saved by grace, but we should be just as (or more) intentional towards growing in Godliness as we are towards growing in physical fitness. This doesn’t mean start fartsacking more often. It means learn from how you are able to focus on physical fitness, to stop fartsacking on your relationship with God.

Switch on your Brain – Mind Over Matter

2 Timothy 1:7 – God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of sound mind.   This islLinked to the concept that we are wired for love and natural optimism.

  • Our thought life actually changes our DNA. Thinking and feeling fear, anger, and frustration caused DNA to change shape.  Tightened up, became shorter, and switched off quality expression so individuals in turn felt shut down
  • We can control our reactions to anything
  • Stress level 1 is normal and brings focus. Level 2 and 3 become toxic
  • American Institute of Health Estimates that75-90% of visits to primary care are for stress related problems
  • We cannot control events or circumstances, but you can control your actions.
  • Good news is that this can be reversed by feelings of love, Joy appreciation and gratitude
    • HIV Positive patients that were positive had 300,000 time more resistance than negative patients

 When we operate in our normal love design in God’s image we are able to change the shape of our DNA forever.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We talked about taking the time, spending it with the people that you love and not worrying about other things. The example of Martha in the Bible where she was too concerned about cleaning and cooking and spending time with Jesus. There are many areas of our lives that we spend time on that we will certainly regret later.
