Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire;
he breaks out against all sound judgment.

A fool takes no pleasure in understanding,
but only in expressing his opinion.

2 song thoughts:

First song: I’m so blessed by CAIN. “On my best days, I’m a child of God, and on my worst days, I’m a child of God.”

(Here’s a cover of the song recently posted by my alma mater that I’ve been jamming this weekend https://youtu.be/TfkITY6wKng)

Second song is from Frozen—“We’re not saying you can change him, cause people don’t really change.”

I really don’t like that line, and am reminded of the story of prison warden Clinton Duffy. During the 1940s and 1950s, Warden Duffy was well known for his efforts to rehabilitate the men in his prison. Said one critic, “You should know that leopards don’t change their spots!” Replied Warden Duffy, “You should know I don’t work with leopards. I work with men, and men change every day.”

There are examples in the scriptures of people making this kind of change—think Jonah, Saul of Tarshish. Also some good examples in literature— Ebeneezeer Scrooge, the grinch, etc.

In my life, the key to making lasting changes is Jesus Christ. He will heal you from sin as you repent. He will heal you from sadness and fear. He will heal you from the wounds of this world.

Whatever questions or problems you have, the answer is always found in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.

The Lord needs better men, so let’s rise to His call! I’ve seen in my life that He will give us the power, stamina, and resources we need to enable whatever changes we need to make to follow Him.

COT: Continuation of the forgiveness discussion we’ve had about my loaning money to a neighbor. He paid me back unexpectedly. This brought to my heart that i had not really forgiven him and I needed to. He needed my help, I could help, and I should be thankful for that and have no resentment. Still working on having a very human reaction, but we should aspire to the virtue or true generosity and forgiveness.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
[Jesus] said to the sea, “Quiet! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was great calm. Mark 4:39

Life is chaos; there are always storms either brewing or surrounding us, metaphoric waves and rains that can lead us to fear. Sometimes, the miracle is that the Lord calms the storm that is all around us; but sometimes, it’s that the Lord calms the storm within us. We only need trust, hold on, wait. With the help of God, our peace and center, we will weather any storm.
