*NAKED TRUTH*

One day, a school teacher wrote on the board the following:
*9×1=7*
*9×2=18*
*9×3=27*
*9×4=36*
*9×5=45*
*9×6=54*
*9×7=63*
*9×8=72*
*9×9=81*
*9×10=90*

When He was done, he looked back at the students and they were all *laughing at him  because of the first equation which was wrong.*

Then the teacher said the following:
I wrote the first equation wrong on purpose, because I wanted you to learn *Something important.*

This was for you to know how the world out there will TREAT you!

You can see that I wrote the *RIGHT thing nine times*, but none of you congratulated me for it.

But you all laughed and criticized me because of *one wrong thing* I did.

*The lesson is:*
The world Will Never Appreciate the good you do *a million times*, but will Criticize the *one wrong thing* you do.
So don't Get Discouraged!

*ALWAYS RISE ABOVE ALL THE LAUGHTER AND CRITICISM.*
Don't *Look Up* to man; *look Up to God!*

*This is worth sharing.*

LOVE IS NOT A GIFT IT'S A BATON...

Based on the parable of the unmerciful servant who received mercy but didn't pass it on.

Once batons become owned, love stops flowing...we are carriers of the baton of love, grace, mercy and forgiveness not keepers...

Church history has been the erratic story of a church that's either passed the baton on or kept and warehoused it.

Nobody owns the baton

Batons can't be handled twice

Batons can't be dropped

Batons are passed in motion

Batons must be passed in a zone...delayed passing like delayed love is a fail.

Selective love

Controlling love

Conditional love

Protected love

Manipulative love

Coercive love...are not valid batons.

WE ARE SERVANTS OF THE BATON and few things make God as angry as when people who've received his love, mercy, grace and forgiveness...don't pass it on.

Have a great week ahead and remember to keep passing on love as you are receiving.
