As we go forth telling our story, it is easy to turn it into an oration about what we have done and how great we are because of our accomplishments in life. It is easy in a society that promotes individuality to forget that we can do nothing without God. We have to remind ourselves that we are not independent from Him. Quite the contrary, we are dependent on Him in all we do, in all we accomplish. ~ DickEvans.org

True Happiness
God has given each of us talents, things that we are good at. It is in the pursuit of these things that we find our happiness in work. However, all work and no play can be just as dangerous as laziness. We must allow time to be with God and to enjoy the style of life He has allowed us to have. When we are on His path for us, we can enjoy true happiness. ~ DickEvans.org

Communications
No matter how good communications becomes, it will never replace being with someone. You cannot stand back to back and conquer when you are miles apart. There is more to communications than mere words said or texted. Being with someone, face to face, is a different experience and one that is easy to drift away from in today’s high tech society. First, we must work on our relationship with our maker, our Father God. It all begins with our communication with Him. ~ DickEvans.org

His Will
As our relationship with God grows, we begin to understand that all those earthly desires are of little importance in the big picture. What really counts is what His will is for our lives. We may have had our plan, but it is God’s plan that we are following now. ~ DickEvans.org

Growing
Philippians 1:9-10 NLT
I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ's return.
We know that to be hired in a position of any kind we need to be able to prove that we have had a certain amount of education. The higher the level we have obtained through hard work and study, the better that position might be.
So we are fed knowledge over the years we spend in school. As we walk out in the jobs we get in the workplace, we gain experience and that is the most valuable piece. It is our experience that drives us to the next level in that profession. We move from dishwasher to cook to manager. We move from janitor to supervisor over them to supervisor over other areas in the same company. We move from pumping gasoline to managing the station. Experience positions us for the next increase.
God's word tells us that Holy Spirit teaches us all things. He guides us as we walk this earthly walk. But that is not all we need to do. Our Bible is the source of all truth. And I believe He speaks to us through the words on those pages. This is why it is referred to as the living word.
I can read the same words tomorrow and fresh revelation can jump out of that page and touch my spirit, changing how I think and act. And it is in the action that we gain experience. It is in taking a risk to step out into the unknown for us knowing that God will be right there with us. He takes the lead and we let Jesus use our hands and feet and mouth to do the impossible.
As we take action, we gain experience. And experience gained is never lost. It is out stepping stone to the next level in our walk with Jesus. As we go, we grow.

Logical
Logic is an important part of our makeup. Things have to fit into a pattern for us to accept them. Only God can help us believe the unbelievable. It is only He who can help us accept the truth no matter how it differs from the reality we know. Even then, it takes Faith on our part to grab a hold of it. When we step out by faith to do what He tells us to do, untold miracles can unfold right before us. ~ DickEvans.org

Reflection
It is so important to watch what we think and what we say. In all things we should be a reflection of Jesus who is within us. It should be Christ’s nature that others see in us and as we lean on Holy Spirit for guidance we will grow more and more and be closer and closer to Him. Whatever we send out is received and resent in one way or another. Every action has a reaction. And love is reflected in love. ~ DickEvans.org
