This is Perfect for me today!! I always have to remember not to take on others emotions and not to allow it to creep into my spirit as an offense. Keep reading this is great for us to understand this for the Glory of God!
Overlook Offense
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
“It is an honor for a man to cease from strife and keep aloof from it, but every fool will quarrel”(Proverbs 20:3, AMP).
TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria
Did you know that when you allow someone else’s words or actions to upset you, you’re allowing them to control you? When you say, “You make me so mad,” you’re really just admitting that their actions have power over you. As long as that person knows they can push your buttons, as long as you keep responding the same way, you are giving them exactly what they want. Sure, people have a right to say and do things that are upsetting, but we also have a right to not get offended. We have a right to overlook their actions. In fact, the Bible says that it’s an honor for a man keep “aloof” from strife. In other words, we have to remove ourselves, either physically or emotionally, from strife and offense. It’s not easy, but we can choose to let it roll off of us like water off a duck’s back!
Remember, you don’t need everyone to agree with you all the time. You don’t have to have the approval of others in order to be approved by God. You’re job is to be the person God made you to be, so overlook offenses and strife so you can live in peace and victory all the days of your life!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father in heaven, thank You for loving, accepting, and approving me just as I am. I know You are doing a work in my life, and I ask for the strength and confidence to overlook offense so that I can honor You in everything I do. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Awesome GOD
This message touched my heart today!
As it states in today's Daily Bread, when we are a Doubting Thomas, we lose faith in the Lord. We all struggle with worldly things, finances, health, relationships of all sorts. Did I trigger any yet for you? :-) It does not mean we have to accept the negative throughout the day. We have a choice, a free will that God gave us. We Can choose HIM! When we have faith the Lord will prevail, when we are obedient the Lord will prevail. We have an awesome God! To read today's Daily Bread go to : http://www.rbc.org/odb/odb.shtml
David & I are amazed at the work of the Lord in our life. The last few days we have seen and heard things that the Lord in aligning and orchestrating in our lives that have been tugging at our hearts. We will share more as things unfold.
One thing we can tell you is the devil keeps knocking at the door and we command him to flee, In Jesus' Name!
Now that I am figuring this whole Blog thing out we can post more news on how His Way Cafe in unfolding. Thank you for your support and feedback is welcome.
Peace and Blessings,
Cindy
