Comments that CHANGED my life! (part 1)

“You gotta stay sweet!” 
Pastor Phil Jones

Brains, talents and natural abilities don’t guarantee a person success nearly as much as their resolve to “stay sweet.” The opposite of a person staying sweet would be to eventually become bitter and or cynical. 

Phil tells me that all of us will occasionally be rocked by people’s rash words or by life’s unexpected setbacks. However we mustn’t become bitter or sour. By following Jesus' example of praying for those who hurt us and serving those who are less fortunate we'll keep moving forward. Suffering is inevitable but misery is optional.  

The take away is: If you’re going to be truly effective and fruitful you’ve got be tenaciously kind and uncompromisingly hopeful.
