There is beauty everywhere

You ever just sat and watched the ocean? A bird? An ant? A butterfly?

There's beauty in all of God's creations, isn't there? All we have to do is take the time to experience it. Zechariah 4:10 says, don't despise small beginnings. Sometimes it's the little things that mean the most and we have to take the time to enjoy them. Sometimes the blessing is in the small things. We should take the time to consider that, because it's sometimes the little things that can be the really big things, right? Sometimes it's simply about making the time to enjoy whatever those things are -- to enjoy what we are blessed to have around us and in our lives. It may differ from person to person, which is great, because God has us here for a reason and He wants us to enjoy what we have. I believe when we do that, then we make room for many more blessings. It's about appreciating the beauty around us and realizing it comes in many different forms.

Luke 16:10 says, "he who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much." In other words, one who is grateful for the little, may be blessed with much more and vice versa. It's about being thankful for what we do have, over thinking we're missing out on the things we don't have. There is a time and a season for everything. So why not just see the beauty that is right in front of us? It may actually be a real and true blessing more than anything else. Just something to think about.

I ask, because I'm just wondering if anybody feels like me -- free like me. Free as an eagle. Free as can be. That's right, out with doing business the old stale way and in with a fresh new operation. It's a shifting happening in the atmosphere of Sharon's life and I'm moving on to the big and awesome things God has for me. What do you say for yourself? What are you speaking over your life? What it is for you? For me, I am no longer afraid to go out in the deep end. I am no longer afraid to fly higher, I am no longer concerned about what I have or do not have, and I am no longer concerned about what anybody thinks or says. Who the heck cares anymore? I don't. Because God tells me he doesn't give me a spirit of fear or timidity ( 2 Timothy 1 :7) , but He gives me a spirit of love, confidence, power, self-control, and

God blesses whomever he wants to bless, whenever he wants to bless them

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. When I was going through a dark time -- when I had nothing -- there was a certain person who helped me sometimes. She helped me whenever she basically felt like it, but she did help, and for that I'm appreciative. But, something interesting happened after I started growing out of my despair. Something interesting started happening when I no longer needed her for anything. And something interesting happened even though I remained kind and grateful towards. The interesting thing that happened was that she started hating on me. She started treating me differently. At first I was really bothered by it, because I thought she and her husband were nice people I wanted in my life. I liked that they had a sense of compassion and were interested in helping people who were down and low. That really appealed to me, because I was raised that way; my mother was raised that way; her mother was raised that way, and it goes back to as fa
