But to every man there openeth,A high way and a low,And every mind decideth,The way his soul shall go.
One ship sails East,And another West,By the self-same winds that blow,Tis the set of the sails And not the gales,That tells the way we go.
Like the winds of the seaAre the waves of time,As we journey along through life,Tis the set of the soul,That determines the goal,And not the calm or the strife.
Jesus taught that if our eye, or the way we see things, is healthy, then our life can be filled with happiness. But if the way we see things, if our outlook or mindset is messed up, there is no end to how dark our life can be.
I am not going to wait until I see results or receive rewards… I am thanking You now.I am not going to wait until I feel better or things look better… I am thanking You now.I am not going to wait until the pain in my body disappears… I am thanking You now.I am not going to wait until my financial situation improves… I am thanking You now.
When Jesus calls you/me into ministry (any kind of ministry; Romans 12:4-8), what will be our response?Will we immediately make the step of faith? Or will we hold back (making the usual excuses)?When Jesus makes the call, do we have our minds set for service?
