Attitude adjuster

One of the most important concepts that I have been working very hard on is the attitude adjuster. I had given my Pastor a candy cane at church during the Christmas holiday and he looked at me with some hesitation. He did not know why I was giving it to him; I had to express to him that it was an attitude adjuster and that it was not for his benefit but for mine. I have seen this concept in many places and is used in quite a diverse arena. The purpose is that when someone has been going through a significant set of trials and tribulations, the difficulties should not stop or prevent us from focusing on what really matters--our neighbor. That is the most important thing that we could ever focus on. When we focus on our neighbor, we will not have a lack in our lives--mentally, physically or spiritually. When we choose an attitude adjuster, we focus on changing our hearts, taking a moment to listen to what the LORD has to say to us, humble ourselves and then to look to what the goals really are. Yes, bad health, bad finances, bad so-many-other-things get in the way of us focusing on the goal that is set before us. When the apostle Paul wrote to the churches, he had expressed that if anyone had any reason to really complain about things, it would be him. He had been beaten many times, had his feet clubbed to the point of disfigurement and had been killed as well but was healed. This was because of the labor of love that was found in his heart toward his neighbor. He was commissioned to give and to give freely for the sake of the Cross. The Cross was his attitude adjuster. What is ours? Who is my neighbor? Are you my neighbor? If so, where is your attitude adjuster? Have you given one lately? You become blessed and healed of what it is in your life that needs that healing when the choice to give is done so freely. Choose this day, what and whom will you serve?

Giving on. Encouraging on!
