What does it mean to be unshakable? Well, it is defined as being steadfast, resolute, determined, and unwavering. Everybody wants to be fearless with their life or fearless in chasing their dreams, but life sometimes shake us. Sometimes we can be easily shaken by the unthinkable. None of us are exempt from tragedy and loss. God's word gives us the key to unshakable living by placing our faith in an unshaken Savior-Jesus Christ! Jesus-the son of God, was unshaken by the violence of the cross, or the coldness of the grave. He died on good Friday and rose from the grave on Easter. He is our unshakable Savior. When you put your faith in Jesus, hear his words and apply them to your life, you will stand strong when everything else is going wrong. This is one of God's promises to you.

Let's face it. People are busy trying to juggle a great many things while trying to maintain their career and family. Some of us are so stressed that we need to take anger management classes just to cope. Then, throw in the command of Jesus Christ to show acts of kindness by doing things like loving our enemies and lending money to people with no expectations of getting it back. Wow! How does God expect us to pull that off? Clearly not on your own, and not without His help. Our priorities will often fight against the priorities of Kindness, because kindness takes effort. God helps his people with the effort. He doesn't expect you to be perfect with kindness; he wants you to be consistent with it. How? He gives us the fruit of kindness. This fruit is clearly shown by learning to hear God's voice and follow him. You see, the only way we can consistently show kindness toward people, especially people who are undeserving of our kindness, God will need to give it to us in a fruit. 

Let's face it, we are all influenced by the movies we enjoyed. In fact, you can't get through a movie without at least one romantic scene. Hollywood seems to have a prescription for love that most people follow, and it goes something like this: Find the right person, then fall in love. Pend your hopes and dreams on that person, and if it don't work out, repeat step one by finding another person. I get exhausted just thinking about it! So what is God's prescription for lasting love? Step one: Become the right person to love by becoming an imitator of God. What I mean is, live a life of love as taught in the word of God.  Step two: Fix all of your hopes and dreams on Christ. Human being's are weak, needy, and flawed, and undeserving of pending all of our hopes and dreams on. Step three: Wait patiently for your soulmate. You can wait patiently if you love God. The bible explains why we wait patiently and it is because God's love satisfies the human soul. When your identity is with God, you won't need human affection in the same way. I can't speak for you, but between Hollywood's prescription and God's, I choose the easy route-God's prescription. You see, finding someone who really loves you for you is rare in our society. If you become rare by imitating God' love toward others, you are a KEEPER!
