What Has Separated Your Heart?... Find It Again

Start Talking Faith as You Understand It

This book is affectionately dedicated to my devoted wife,

Ruth Ann Huston Polston.

I dont know about you, but I think a lot. I think more than I talk; I think more than I listen; I think more thanprobably anything else in the world.

And sometimes I actually convince myself that my thoughts arent a big deal.

How would our lives change if we only entertained God-given thoughts? How would our lives change if we glued our minds only on what is trueand what is nobleand what is justand what is lovelyand what is admirable? How would our lives change if we operated not in the seen, but in the unseen?

Maybe this is what it means to be a new creation. Maybe this is what it means to live in the abundance of Christ. Maybe the outward change is birthed from the inward change.

Think about it: There can be a new me! And there can be a new you.

-Rebekah Faith Bennett, Editor in Chief

Think Love

All love is of God. There is no love apart from the nature and being of God. Hate itself is love misused. It is love gone bad. The Bible tells us what God is like when it says, God is love (1 John 4:8).

Love has substance. It is being. It is real. It can be felt. It can grow. It can become richer and fuller in the heart. No one can ever be separated from love. As the earth is covered by pure oxygen, so the love of God covers all things and is in all things.

Behind every event of the universe, there is love. Love permits it; love understands it; love corrects it. Nothing escapes love.

God is love. There is only one love in the world, and that is Gods love. If you love evil, it is a misuse of your freedom to love. When you hate, you love in reverse.

Love covers the eyes when looking at the sins of others.

Love seeks ways to help complete anothers hopes and dreams.

Love is not afraid to pass a compliment. It is always glad when others prosper and are blessed.

Love melts, molds, and moves your world.

Love is strong. It has justice. It endures.

Love goes the second mile and is willing to be hurt if a greater good will come.

Love does not judge; it forgives. And love always finds a way to build bridges between people of other colors, creeds, and callings.

Love heals broken marriages.

Love creates goodwill.

Love brings prosperity to your business and home. Love attracts money. Love attracts the attractive.

Love makes the flowers grow and gives color to the world.

Love heals the body, mind, and spirit.

Love makes winners out of losers.

Love makes saints out of sinners.

Love reaches through. Loves sees through. Love follows through.

Love seeks itself; love needs to be loved.

And the greatest power to influence others is love.

Whoever loves is the nearest to God. The greatest sign that you are in God and know God is love. The deeper the love, the deeper the knowledge of God.

It is love which builds homes, churches, and creates the good things in life.

Love is desire.

Love is exciting. Love is creating.

Love is the very essence of all life and matter. Everything is spirit, and the spirit is sustained by love.

Love is a Person. It is a Nature. It is a Being.

Love is not in parts or pieces; love is the whole. You cant have some love; you can only have love. There are no parts of love, such as a part for the children, a part for the dog, and a part for the cat. There may be various colors or manifestations of love, but it is all love. Dont ask for more love. Only ask that you may recognize it in you and release it by action. Love works best by action.

Faith works by love. Faith produces what love loves. Love starts the blood to flow; it brings ideas to birth.

Love prospers.

Love brings good out of evil. It turns the hurts to building blocks of faith.

The cross is love. The resurrection is love. The church is love. The universe is love.

The world is in darkness because it refuses to cooperate on the law of love.

The church is broken into a thousand different concepts because it lacks love. We only love those who believe like we do. If you dont believe like I do, we say, then I have the divine right to reject you. This is not love.

Love includes. If your life is limited, restricted, and full of suffering, look around and see if you are permitting love to come through. It can change everything in a day.

Love works because God is love.

Think about Loneliness

Loneliness hurts; it comes from rejection. You can trace all loneliness to the root of rejection. Either you have rejected yourself, or someone you loved and admired has rejected you.

There is also a loneliness that comes from failure. When things are going in the opposite direction for you, a creeping darkness of loneliness comes over your mindthe loneliness of failure. You wonder if anybody cares.

Stormy thoughts flood the mind when you are lonely... thoughts like, I wish I could hide. Maybe I should not be seen again in public. Everybody in the world knows that I failed. All eyes are looking at me.

Failure is a lonely road.

No one likes to share failures, and this could be why your failures stay with you. The greatest thing you can do to free yourself from the loneliness of failure is to tell another! The Bible says, Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed (James 5:16).

This healing is more than physical. It is emotional and spiritual. When you find someone who will listen, love, and lend a helping hand, you are on your way to healing.

Loneliness can also come from succeeding. Many do not think about the cost of succeeding. The cost is high! Beginners see the glory of succeeding, but there is a paina hurtin the heart of one who succeeds.

I think the greatest shock in life comes when you are rejected because you have succeeded. One day, you had close, mutual friends. You were on the same level of achievements. There was a mutual interchange of ideas and concepts. But the next ten years, you wake up to find that you are walking the path of success alone. All have forsaken you and fled.

A thousand times you ask yourself, Why? When you have outgrown the norm, you become a threat. And the threat isolates you from others.
