Life Happens - Part 1

Life happens to us all.  No matter who you are, what you have or don't, life happens.  Life happens is a phrase that I've used for some time now because it sums up the transition of life events, be it good or bad.  Life happens to the young at heart and the seasoned and mature adults.  Eventually, life happens to all of us at some time of our lives.   Because life happens, the key issue is not the event, but how you, me, we handle the event.  When a good "life happens" occurs, what do we do?  How do we handle a negative or bad "life happens" event?  You might say, good life happens events are a breeze and easy to deal with.  Well let's take a dipper dive.

When a good life happens event takes place, do you consider yourself above every one?  Do you think that you are untouchable and have no compassion for others who are not where you are? Do you look at yourself and say, "look what I did"?  You see a "good life happens" event has the potential to give you a sense of pride and arrogance;  a sense that you do not need God.  If this happens, you are entering into dangerous territory.  So my sisters and brothers in Christ, when a "good life happens" event comes your way, ask God to keep you humble.  Thank God for blessing you with the "good life happens" event.  By doing so, you will not give the devil a chance to corrupt you and your experience. Testify to others about your event without bragging, but in worship and praise to God for his goodness and blessing.  By doing  this you will give others hope in God and you will keep yourself humble. Scripture tells us if anyone brags, let him brag in the Lord.

Be Blessed!
