Continuing In A Word . . . An A to Z List of Words that Can Change Your Life
Hope. Cultivate hope in your life. In the midst of our toxic world, the hope of resurrection is still a reality. Our identity is found in Christ's resurrection and that brings great hope.
Identify issues. Whether it's in your family or at work, unresolved issues breed bitterness and discontentment. The key is to deal with them the appropriate way.
Joy. Carry it with you wherever you go. Choose to become joyful. John Ortberg says, "We are invited to rejoice in every moment of life because every moment of life is a gift. If we don't rejoice today, we will not rejoice at all. If we wait until conditions are perfect, we will still be waiting when we die. If we are going to rejoice, it must be in this day."
Know your purpose. You have to know what your ultimate life purpose is and what your driving force is in order to be completely fulfilled.
Learn. Commit yourself to a life of continual learning. Keep reading. Keep attending classes or workshops regularly. Keep learning and be teachable.
Meditate on a passage from the Bible. Read it slowly. Certain words may stand out to you; allow them to sink into your heart. Ask if perhaps God wants to speak to you through these words. The goal is not for us to get through the Scriptures. The goal is for the Scriptures to get through us.
