Devotional 5/23/20

05.23.20 | Love | by Rev. Norman Thomas Jr.

    God sends motivation in different ways. Sometimes, based on our own behavior, people will tell us that we will never do anything positive with our lives. And, we hate to admit it, but they're right. Some of our current or past behaviors will cause us to reap nothing but negative consequences. However, God also knows what each of us needs in order to get it together. Some of us need gentle words and others need a harsh check in order to get our attention. God knows best. Don't be mad at the person who checked you about your behavior, thank them. God reminded you of their words every time you felt like quitting so that you would work a little bit harder to prove them wrong. Send them a gift, tell them thank you and show them pictures of what God has done in your life. They meant it for evil, but God meant it for your good. God bless!
