What kind of love do you give to others?
There are many ways to love another. Love can be either manipulative or controlling or it can be joyful and genuine. Paul shares with us, in Romans, that love "must be sincere" (12:9). So, as you seek and offer love to another, might you consider a love that "does no harm" (13:10). #SincereORSelfServing

As we honor our fathers, today, Psalm reminds us that “[God is] a father [even] to the fatherless” (68:5); and ”sets the lonely in families” (68:6). So, may all men, today and every day, know that you always have a father. #GodOurFather & #HappyFathersDay2022❤️ #ANWAdvocatingForHealthyLivesHomesAndWorkEnvironments

How can we show others that we care?
There are many suffering in the world; and in their suffering have a tendency to lash out. When this happens, might you, out of kindness and concern, give grace, and ask your "Father to forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing" (Luke 23:24). Responding as such may just help ease their suffering and provide some comfort and hope in what they are going through. #BecauseYouCare

How rooted are you in your faith?
Our faith can be challenged in many ways; and when it is, we will either become desperate and impatient, seek others, and "be like a bush in the wastelands" (Jeremiah 17:6), or be calm and patient, "like a tree planted by the water" (17:8), because we trust in the Lord. As your faith is tested, it is my hope that you root yourself in Him so that your faith can grow and your roots become deep thereby allowing you to be able to weather and withstand any of life's challenges. #Solid & #Grounded

How can you be truly transformed?
Our abilities, alone, can not completely transform us. What can is when we look from within and above and chose to "put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness" (Ephesians 4:24). Might you seek His salvation and complete your transformation. #BeTransformed

What do you consider to be a wise investment?
In order to gain "true riches" (Luke 16:11), we are encouraged to "give to the poor" (12:33); and when we do so, we "provide purses for [our]selves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys" (12:33). Whatever it may be, I hope it is a wise one. #AShrewdInvestment

Daily Meditations of a Nurse Warrior
How prideful are you?
Whether we are in demand, a place of power or successful, we must never believe that we are invincible or above anything. For "the pride of your heart [will deceive] you" (Obadiah 1:3) and has the ability to leave you vulnerable, weak and humiliated (see 1:1-2). So, might you choose to repent and live humbly; for when we turn to and trust in Him, he will prove worthy and provide (see 1 Peter 5:6). #PrideAside

What will you do?
When life becomes too much to bear, many seek alternative solutions, ones that have devastating results, because they see no light in their darkness. Noted for wanting to die, were both Jonah (4:3-10) and Elijah (1 Kings 19:4); and knowing this, God intervened. He approached both men with caring conversation (Jonah 4:3-10) and nourishment, bread and water (1 Kings 19:5-9). So, might you turn to Him to help you work through your darkness so that you can find life and light again. #SeekHope #Help & #Him

What gives you hope?
Being hopeful can be very difficult; but it is the tough times that provide us with the hope that we need to get through situations that are causing us to be doubtful and defeated. What should give us hope, in all things, is when He sacrificed himself on the cross and delivered us from sin and death (see 1 Corinthians 11:23-26). So, the next time you find yourself hopeless, might you remember what He did for you. #HopeInAllThings

Why go home? Home is where the heart is, where we live, love and identify with the people who know us well; and when life teaches us lessons, we are told to “go home to [our] people and tell them how much the Lord has done for [us]” (Mark 5:19). Might you go home and share your great news. #HeadForHome❤️ #ANWAdvocatingForHealthyLivesHomesAndWorkEnvironments
