Greetings!

Which "L" Describes You? (1 of 5)

Whether we desire to be or not, each of us is labeled and categorized so as to distinguish us from others due to circumstances that present themselves in our lives.

labels

Does your life depict the characteristics of one who gives lip service to life situations or are you someone who is known by the lifestyle you represent?

Each of us from time to time may present a great defense of what we did or did not do and of whom we are or are not; which will only be settled when the facts are presented.

"Which "L" Describes You?" (2 of 5)

However, our true labeling is not based on others opinions, but rather on whom we are and what we do.

Luke 6:44-For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.

This verse affirms the truth that we are properly labeled according to our actions.

Our title asks the question "Which "L" Describes You?"

lips

The "Lip" describes a person who talks a "Good Talk", selling himself and attempting to persuade others to follow them based on what they are saying.

The "Lip" mentality knows just what to say, how to say it, and when to say it!

So much that if they did not know any better they would deceive themselves!

Unfortunately, many have deceived themselves by their own "Lip Action".

" Which "L" Describes You? " (3 of 5)

However, when people think or see this type of person, in their minds the labeling of that person is "There Ain't Nothing to Them", liar, hypocrite, faker, etc.

For there is no noticeable creditability to what they represent, who they really are and definitely to what they say.

Then there is the "L" representing "Lifestyle"!

people lifestyle

This person knows what they say will be impacted more by demonstration.

The "Lifestyle" Mentality is in touch with reality as we learn that actions go much farther than mere words.

Their Lifestyle communicates and endorses a certain behavior.

The "Lifestyle" mentality realizes that the message will be better understood by seeing it executed in the life of the one encouraging such action.

Even if one is unable to demonstrate "It" now in their "Lifestyle", the regret for not making wise decisions should be sincerely communicated to others.

The "Lifestyle" Mentality understands that just as the saying: "Don't Do As I Do, But As I Say" is not effective with children, neither is it effective in the lives of adults!

" Which "L" Describes You? " (4 OF 5)

So the questions we must ask ourselves are: What messages do we desire to communicate to others?

What are we really attempting to "Get Them to Understand and Embrace?"

Are they seeing it demonstrated in our "Lifestyle" or are they just seeing our "Lips" move? Are we saying one thing and doing another?

Are we inviting them to do as "I Do and Not Just As I Say"?

Are we setting a good example for all we encounter, whether they are children or adults?

Are we speaking from true experience that the advice, encouragement, method or word that we share will really make a difference in their lives because we have tried it?

Is what we are saying able to be a reality in their lives or are we setting them up for a "Sure Fail" and "Defeated" mentality?

" Which "L" Describes You? " (5 of 5)

people reading

The Apostle Paul references in 2 Corinthians 3:2 of people being "Written Epistles", known and read by all men.

What has your "Lifestyle" penned about you?

What are others reading and seeing of your life?

Are you known because of your words or deeds?

We will not have to answer this question verbally; the type of fruit on our trees will sound out the answers!

A powerful quote is" Your life is your message to the world. Make it inspiring." (Lorrin L. Lee)

Anger

Dr. Nola Veazie

Anger can take an emotional toll that results in depression; the book of Psalms note many instances in which David suffered great depression, but one notable bought with depression is found in the book of II Samuel 12:17. Many of us are familiar with David's illicit relationship with Bathsheba and his instructions to have her husband killed on the battlefield (read the account).

Unable to deal with the consequences of his actions, David fell into a deep depression. Facing the consequences of our actions, especially when we cause pain to a loved one, can cause us to internalize anger, resulting in physical illness, emotional turmoil, and spiritual stagnation. Depression is much more than feelings of sadness or the blues, and anger is often the common denominator.

Words from the Heart!

WOW! What a Word for the day. It really is hard to let go when we need to do it. I learned the hard way that it is better to let the Lord take control of them then for me to try to do it a long time ago!!! You will lose your mind if you try to do it so we must leave it to God!!! Thanks for this wonderful Word I am truly blessed by it. Love you lots!!! LV

Thank you. I enjoyed the newsletter so much. I know the Lord would not have me worry but just release my family to him. That was so encouraging. RS

Dr. Lewis, Thank you for replying to my email. I will take your answers to heart and continue to pray to Him for guidance, direction and peace as I travel this journey. I thank God that I know God. He has never let me down and He always provides. Your email made my day and I shared your reply with my Mother, who remembers meeting you at my father's funeral and was flattered that you were kind enough to comfort her son. Striving to be an obedient Christian can be a battle during trials, as the devil is trying to conduct warfare in my heart and mind. I have to remind myself that I have the armor of the Lord protecting me and shielding at all times, and reiterate this to myself during the periods of depression I allow myself to fall into. Peace and blessings to you. Love, KT
