Vision:
— Vision is more insight than it is sight.
— Vision is being able to see beyond where your eyes can look.
— Sight is common, vision is rare.

(Prov 29:18 NIV)  Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but blessed is he who keeps the law.
— People with Vision don’t do everything.
— Their vision restrains them.
— Their vision keeps them focused.
— Their vision makes their life simple.

Vision gives pain a purpose. Those without vision spend their lives taking the path of least resistance as they try to avoid discomfort.

The late Dr. Myles Munroe said “Vision is foresight, birthed from insight, with the benefit of hindsight.”  He also said, “Sight is the function of the eyes.  But Vision is a function of the heart.”

Get Inspired receive divine vision from God for your life!

Get Inspired to maximize that vision before you die!

Until next week….

We are still dealing with the 20 Characteristics of God’s Love found in 1 Corinthians 13.  

I have been teaching my way through this passage for months.  I trust that you have been blessed by the Word.  Today we will look at several characteristics of God’s love in one message.  I will cover the fact that God’s love is not self-seeking, touchy, fretful, or resentful.  I get this from 1 Cor 13:5.  The Amplified Version of this verse reads:

Love is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].

In this message you will learn how to deal with difficult people and you will also learn how NOT to be one yourself.  God has called you to be a blessing and not a curse.  I truly believe this message will bless you.  Please take a few minutes to watch the video.

Finally,

Get inspired to walk in God’s Love.

Get inspired to NOT BE self seeking, touchy, fretful or resentful.

Get inspired to be an EXAMPLE of JESUS for all the world to see!

Until next week….

The post The Characteristics of God’s Love (Part 9) – Love Is Not Self-Seeking, Touchy, Fretful or Resentful appeared first on Get Inspired.

We are still dealing with the 20 Characteristics of God’s Love found in 1 Corinthians 13.  

Today we will talk about the fact that “Love does not insist on it’s own way.”

(1Co 13:5 AMP)  It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].

Here are a few highlights from the message:

— We are called to represent Christ in this world.

— When we fail to operate in love, we misrepresent the God we serve.

— Relationships require compromise on both sides.

— A relationship where one side does not compromise is more like domination or manipulation.

— Love and selfishness don’t mix.

— Seek God’s way over your own way!

— Seek to BE a blessing.

Get inspired to love like Jesus does, because as Jesus is, so are we in this world.

Get inspired to live as the person God called you to be.

Get inspired to BE LOVE in this world.

Until next week….

The post The Characteristics of God’s Love (Part 8) – Love Does Not Insist On It’s Own way appeared first on Get Inspired.

We are still dealing with the 20 Characteristics of God’s Love found in 1 Corinthians 13.  

We have learnt so far how the LOVE of God allows us to:

• Endure Long
• Be Patient

• Be Kind

• is NOT envious

• is not boastful (brag)

• is not proud or arrogant

• And is not rude

Today we will talk about the fact that “Love does not act Unbecomingly.”

(1 Cor 13:5 AMP)  It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly.  Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own.

To act unbecomingly means  

• To have an attitude or behavior that is not fitting or inappropriate.
• Not according with the standards appropriate to one’s position or condition of life

For the Believer, this means you don’t act in a way that misrepresents Christ!

*** The world is quick to let you know how YOU, as a Christian, should act!  Even if they are NOT acting the way they should, they are quick to tell you HOW you should act.  Either way, God Lives in you, you represent Him in the earth, and you should act in a way that brings Him glory!

So on this week:

• Walk in God’s Love.

• Maintain conduct that will bring glory to God; especially with people who are hard to get along with, or difficult to deal with.

• If someone has a bad attitude or is even rude towards you, remind yourself that GOD IS IN YOU!  Allow His love to shine through you towards the person being difficult.

Get inspired to draw others towards God, not drive them away because your attitude is unbecoming.

Get inspired to meet the needs of others, by loving them just as they are, because God IS love!

Get inspired to LOVE others, in every circumstance. Let them see the LOVE of God in you!

Until next week….

The post The Characteristics of God’s Love (Part 7) – Love Does Not Act Unbecomingly appeared first on Get Inspired.

We are still dealing with the 20 Characteristics of God’s Love found in 1 Corinthians 13.  

We have learnt so far how the LOVE of God allows us to:

• Endure Long
• Be Patient

• Be Kind

• is NOT envious

• is not boastful (brag)

• And is not proud or arrogant

Today we will talk about the fact that: Love Is NOT Rude.

(1 Cor 13:5)

It (Love) is not rude; it is not self-seeking, it is not provoked [nor overly sensitive and easily angered]; it does not take into account a wrong endured.

Rude means to be discourteous, of coarse manners; unpolished, to act in an offensive manner, lacking refinement, culture or elegance.

Our society is becoming more and more tolerant for rudeness. People being rude are glorified by the media and those around us.  It seems like Rudeness is displayed everywhere.  But God commands us to operate in love towards those who are RUDE towards us.  

To shine as God’s light and love in this world, we must NOT be rude to others.

I like the way my husband explains this.  He said, “Love is not rude.  It doesn’t fly off the handle.  Love doesn’t seek to offend, but rather to reconcile.  Love doesn’t seek to cause offense, but rather to share with others while operating in harmony.  Love seeks to meet needs without causing problems.”

Get inspired to draw others towards God, not drive them away with your rude attitude.

Get inspired to meet the needs of others, but to do so in such a way as to avoid offense.

Get inspired to love others, even when they are rude to you.  Let them see the LOVE of God in you!

Remember, Love is PATIENT, Love is KIND, Love ENDURES LONG, Love is NOT ENVIOUS, love does not brag, is not proud, is not arrogant and Love is not RUDE.

Until next week….

The post The Characteristics of God’s Love (Part 6) – Love is NOT Rude appeared first on Get Inspired.

• Love Endures Long
• Love is Patient

• Love is Kind

Today we will cover the 4th: “Love Is NOT Envious”

According to the Webster’s dictionary…

Envy means: a painful awareness of another’s possessions or advantages and a desire to have them too.

Some Synonyms to the word ENVY are:

• Covetousness
• Enviousness
• green-eyed monster
• Jealousy
• Resentment

Some Antonyms — (opposite in meaning words) are:

• Benevolence
• Goodwill
• Kindness
• sympathy

You get the picture.

If I made two columns with these words

Column 1 — Synonyms to Envy

Column 2 — Antonyms to Envy

Then I asked you to stand under a column, where would you stand?

I pray we can all stand under the column with the antonym words to the word Envy.  

But if you can’t, then hopefully by the end of this message, you will be INSPIRED to walk love, free of Envy.

Here are a few highlights from the message:

— Envy is rooted in fear and there is no fear in love (1 Jn 4:18)

— Where you find envy you will also find disorder and every evil practice (Jas 3:16)

— Envy rots the bones; eating away at you from the inside out (Prov 14:30)

— There is no need to compare yourself to anyone else (2 Cor 10:12)

— God made you unique, rest in your own divine identity!

*** Envy is like ignoring God’s grace on your life, while at the same time, resenting God’s grace on the life of someone else.

Get inspired to stop comparing yourself to anyone else.

Get inspired to sow seeds of LOVE and not ENVY.

Remember, Love is PATIENT, Love is KIND, Love ENDURES LONG and Love is definitely NOT ENVIOUS!

Until next week….

Here are a few highlights from the message:

— True love is sacrificial.

— The Love of God should never END with you… love is not love until you GIVE it away!

— The world needs us (the church) to be light and love.

— Don’t be part of the problem (in this world).  When you walk in love you are part of the solution!

— You have the Love of God IN you, because God is IN you and God IS Love!
— But you must allow the love of God to change you from the inside-out!

— The most important thing we can do to become like Christ is to become God’s love IN THIS WORLD!

— God requires us to love others unconditionally, but He loves us unconditionally.

— We are not perfect and God still loves us.  In like manner, He expects us to love the imperfect.

In closing,

— Get Inspired to be rooted in God’s Love!

— Get Inspired become love to everyone you come in contact with.

— Walk in the Love of God.

Until next time, stay inspired.

God Bless,
