Healing for the Soul

Good Morning,

After spending time with my father a couple of weeks ago in Michigan and dealing with some personal struggles between the two of us. I thought everything was find but here recently I found myself getting angry at him for no reason. Things were suppose to be cool we had a long talk and apologized to each other for past mistakes. But, as I was spending time with God today he gave me an analogy of a band-aid. I thought it would be helpful to some of you who receive this email. You know when you have a cut, bruise or scrape, band-aids really come in handy. They cover the sore to keep it from getting worse until it can heal. But band-aids themselves don’t heal the wound. In fact, some healing happens better when the cut or scrape is left open to the air, healing naturally. Some of life’s scrapes are like that, too. Covering them up doesn’t always promote healing. Putting a band-aid on the relationship with my father didn’t heal it and it want heal those bad relationships you have. Sometimes we suppress things so deep that we don't even know were are true feelings are. Sometimes we pretend that every thing is great and that we are perfectly happy, we're not angry with anybody, life is good. But deep down we are pretending that we've healed from something that we haven't. Band-Aids only work if your intentions are to get better. So do you intend to get better; live happier, and begin to slowly pill off the band-aid. Because if pulled off to fast you could re injury yourself. If you are ready you will need to expose yourself to life, even with your pains and scars. You might suffer as the scab grows over the wound and it might look bad. But you will be healing, not hiding. Healing happens when life itself restores the missing pieces to you; it’s part of the natural healing process. Those who know the REAL POINTS OF POWER know that they can remove all the band-aids in there life and let there true healing begin today. Don't keep hiding from life. - - This is has been your weekly "Power Point"

No Fault Living

Good Morning,
2 Samuel 22:26 says, “To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless.” - Car insurance has a policy called No Fault. You are covered regardless of who caused the accident. You don’t have to spend time worrying about who to blame. You are faithfully covered with no fault. In life, there will be accidents, misunderstanding, and hurt feelings. You will be tempted to point the finger, to find fault. You may want to blame someone, even yourself. But sometimes it’s not anyone’s fault; things just happen. Not every incident has a good reason for happening. Some are best dealt with as no fault, without malicious intent. So drop it; move on file it as no fault. Sure, you could try to get to the bottom of why the garbage wasn’t taken out, the laundry wasn’t done, the dishes aren’t clean and your favorite cup got broke. Yes, you could try to figure out why your spouse forgot your birthday, or why your kids don’t like to eat there green beans, but why? What good would it do? Sometimes it's best to just say –no hurt, no harm, no fowl, none of my business; no fault. In the grand scheme of life, some things really don’t matter that much. Those who know “THE REAL POINTS OF POWER” don’t find fault in life and it won’t find fault in you. Don’t let minor issues spoil there day. Don’t worry so much about them; no fault. - This is has been your weekly power point
Have a wonderful day,
