To live and learn



There was a time when

I wondered why God did not make all

people agreeable.

 

With this thought,   I thought people were bad because they have differences. I could not bring myself to see other people’s views and opinions as valid.

 

 I feared that if I did  so

I could end up being influenced to their opinions and ways of life.

 

Now I have come to appreciate and accept other people’s views and opinions,as something attached to their nature and way of living. In other words; this is prove that I too am different and therefore entitled to my own judgments and choices


Now I see my situations and circumstances not as contradictory or worth keeping under the bed but my life’s experiences as my unique necessity.

 

For if I love myself with what ever limitations I may experience, I will see the need to love others as they are

When negative thoughts arise!



If u think you are a failure

you will feel like a failure
and subsequently you will act like a failure

here is the idea

Do not entertain the idea that u are a failure
Do not accept that thought or feeling
and be quick to reverse the action

Your mind may argue "I have failed and this is a fact"
but
do not let that thought take center stage

Refuse that negative thought
Say no to that negative thought. Do not believe in it,
or whatever facts that may arise in your thinking

You think it is foolish to deny reality?
Reality is a creation of the mind, that is where it is defined.

Remember God uses the weak to bring to pass his mightiness. Wait and see that the Lord is good...

Moments of affliction




We are always reminded again and a gain
that it is at the darkest hour that dawn breaks
new beginning breaks through

It is during moments of trial that God step into our Lives visibly
And reveals himself as the ultimate answer to all our questions

The most painful,confusing moments of ones life are often times when
we helplessly pose the question;

what is the mmeaning of life
?

Yet God's ways no one can understand

That is why we are comforted only when our focus is the Creator

To have a positive mind,
to be courageous,confident when all is not well, is not easy.
Lucky is the person who has learned to control his or her emotions in times of affliction. And to those that such experience may cause inside turmoil and having its expression manifest..the only answer is, we are only human

Yet if we look again, we will see a silver lining at that dark cloud

There is always a direction, an added new way of looking life,
a new understanding and hope. A revelation of what life and eternity means

is there someone pretending to be your friend

but behind your back it is something else?

Do not worry


Keep doing good and if you get ''bad'' as the reward
just know that is the way it is
when u mind  this  business. Move on

This journey has its ups and downs.
Some time, you will come to know what all these means and how paradoxically
 it has contributed to your course.


God bless

AT THIS POINT !!




Does the world want u down

Your people, friends...  everywhere u turn it seems so?

They are wasting their time.it is time you embraced  the beauty of aloneness
Remember loneness is not always loneliness

You are not coming down
you are going up

Anyone wanting or wishing foe another's  downfall
could be digging his or her own grave


so forget the negativity of others
Do not be hurt by them and if u do get hurt
just know it is human to have feelings

move on

we have learn t in the past that useful people
were never darlings of others in the first place
.
and soon it was a surprise

God bless

Remember






I identify your strengths

What are u good at?

Keep at it-that is the way.
God will open ways for you to proceed

He will send to you support that you need at the right time

Consult your heart before u can consult the outside

Where do your strengths lie
What have you done or been doing and
u have been good at that is also satisfying?

Keep at that. That is your area of strength
keep it up..and keep going

For a period




Is someone mistreating you?

Not giving you the respect that you deserve?

 

Is someone taking advantage of you

 because of your position?

 

Let me tell you something…

Life is very interesting.

Tomorrow is another day

You never know what tomorrow brings

 

Be patient or at least recognize patience as

The moment’s accepted  means

This is only for a short period.

DON'T WORRY


Are you being blamed…

For something that you dint do?

 

Are people, or is someone hiding his or her

Problems by pointing a finger at you?

 

Well,

Don’t you worry

God will turn things around. For he or she that blames you

Will sooner than later experience some phenomenon that will

prove your innocence.

 

God is not dead nor is He a sleep or ignoring your situation.

He is a live and very active

 

You surely will see God’s hand s at work.

Then you will understand that God is greater than our thoughts.

This is our field, those that believe and live by faith

THERE IS A REASON



God will not forget

the good plans he has for u

 

God won’t forget your troubles

He has a good reward for every trouble

 

Time never runs out on God

His plans do not expire

He has a way of doing things

 

He that created the world

knows all things. Past present and future.

He will not let u down

 

God IS and His ways are great

He knows the truth. He understands your heart,

what you need and want. He is the king and overall judge,


There is a reason for everything. And that reason is good for you

When Moses and the children of Israel
came to the red sea they realized that
 it was impossible to cross over

Behind them pharaoh's soldiers were after them


For a moment they thought their lives were over.

Yet God had a better plan for them.
The very sea that they thought was to be their point of death became their savior.

What is in front of u my friend?
Maybe u have a problem that stares u in the face- a stumbling block that wont get a way

Do not give up- there is a way where there seems no way. Remember God reveals himself  better not in what we are able to do but what is impossible to us.

The supernatural is  above all and will do that which we in the natural cannot do

God's Favor




Are u a believer and u have done

 everything possible about a certain issue
and u have not gotten the right results?

If u have done so then here is something that you need to do
Wait...relax, be patient

If u are  used to working too hard for your gains,
change your mind to a receiving state.
Sometimes receiving God's favor
can be very challenging.



wait and see God's work. Wait and see that God is no lair

God has put people, situations, opportunities to help u on your way... Be in a receiving position.


You are a child of God. Expect goodness
and favor from God and it will come

Everything is going to be alright.

A believer



If u are a believer
the advantage u have is u don't have to
 rely wholly on what your senses tell u

U only believe that God is in control and no matter your situation or condition God is beyond the natural and can surpass supernaturally.

Supernatural power is an ever present reality
because it is what sustains life.

Because things don't go our way sometimes or our hopes become shaky it does not mean things are not right

The supernatural being the source of everything
has advantage over everything because creation is subject to it. The supernatural works beyond what we see hear touch etc.It is God's nature

If magic were the right word to describe the power of the supernatural, magic will fail because magic is all about manipulating the senses to make what is unreal look like real.

But the supernatural operating in the realm of faith surpasses our human understanding

Wonder of Life




Is there something that u dont like about your situation?
Something that if it were removed u will be at peace?

Here s news

With that very thing that u do not like
is the very thing that will paradoxically bring out desired results

Most of the limitations, shortcomings that we find on our way are there with a purpose

Life is unique. Do not a low worry to lead u to depression, loss or regret, u could still be were u are now even if u used another road

Look at those areas that God has put on your road as thought hey were there for your care
. And God will bless u through hem

SUCCESS




Your
success will come

What u think most of the time
reflects who you are in the inside

That which you hope for will keep directing
your mind and sensitivity toward your need

The strains disappointments frustrations
are only what lies at the edge, between
where u are and where u want to be..
In short they are temporally.

The very essences  that u need for your
accomplishments are found in the present.

Every little thing is like a chain-link
As long as you are focused and are motivated
 your success will come

Take it easy




Is there a time to win
and a time to lose?


No!
I think there is a time to win
and there a time to learn

In this life one ought not to throw a way everything.
There is always a time to take stock.
Your  knowledge and experience are a
framework to work with.

But more important is
Because life has a nature of bringing up new challenges
adventure into life with afresh mind. Remember God always

A second Chance ?




Is someone refusing to give you
a second chance?

If so, let me tell you something,
Some people won't even give you a first chance
God will give you a third chance

Are you on the fourth or fifth chance,
then let me tell you something...stop listening to the devil God's mercies are everlasting

God will take your challenges and weave them into a miraculours result

Be strong and know that he is God

Beware !




Do you have a person or someone
Who is giving you hard time?

Then move out of the way
Let God deal with the situation

He is God of the troubled, God of the helpless


Probably the person is already in a mess
and pouring it on you for relieve


Fear not Help is already here
the mood of bitterness will lead you astray.

In your Heart

Do not say
just to please others

Do not be afraid to follow your heart
Keep listening to the call of your heart

Be a fool in other people's eyes if u have to be
what is often foolishness to others is God's way of
of doing things

Life, with its ups and downs,
 Disappointments, embarrassment rejection
jealousies, envy etc are part of life. remember,
nothing remains forever

Seek God in your circumstances. He will be there
Seek God's peace and u will surely find it
Walk with God and God will walk with u.
Talk with God and God will talk with u

ENEMIES




Do u have a person

Who did or is doing bad to you

 

A person or people

Who are wronging you? And

for this reason your life is having difficulties

 

Is someone getting jealous and pulling you down

 

If so do not worry…

 

Your life is not in the hands of your enemies

The destiny of your life is not decided by other people’s bad intentions

 

Do not be troubled

keep your mind sober and going

God will reward you. He knows it all

The Love of God will find you

God The Giver




I tried this and it worked !!!


Do you want something?
Here is good news

Look at what you have
And give to someone in need

Give only what you have
Do not give what you don't have
(2 Corinth. 9:7)

And when you give
Do not concentrate on what you
have given or whom you have given to
or what you want in return

Concentrate on God
Ask what you want From God
Do not bother how God will do it

How he will do it is his job
He is God of miracles

Remember God is the giver

A VISION



When I looked into the expanse emptiness of life
And the emptiness looked back at me
I only wanted to know if, this was all there is

In that moment of complete helplessness despair and panic
I thought I saw  loss unequal to none I had experienced before
.

I thought I glimpsed at the image of
The SERVANT,
THE BLOOD,
THE CROSS,
THE RESURRECTION,
THE SPIRIT AND THE GRACE

And after the age of 35
one decides what to see

ONE'S SELF




 It 
is a good thing to know yourself.

Self understanding is very useful knowledge
It leads to self acceptance and peace within oneself.

People generally belong to two groups;
Introverts and Extroverts.
This is not a very good definition...
 it is a good starting point.

An introvert, is who usually prefers to be alone
An extrovert, who usually prefers social company

Test yourself by asking,”Who am I?”


You will definitely discover that
there is a dominant quality in you.
Then align yourself with what you are able to do.
It will help you to separate yourself from your weaknesses
and help you to build on your strengths


After you have known your dominant character

Make sure that you do not remain rigid.

For instance:if you are one who likes being a lone Try the company of others sometimes.(How is it like doing it?)


If you prefer social try spending sometimes alone.
(How is it like doing that?)


Try to strike a balance between your weaker and stronger inclinations. Learn the quality that is the opposite of what you are and improve your self.

What of those of us - who are neither introverts or extroverts . Those who swing from one pole to the other- who are today extroverts  and tomorrow introverts.  This moment we are this and the next moment that...And sometimes just in between not knowing where is where?.

wisdom(understanding) is above knowledge, perfect balance is something we try to achieve and improve daily. Do not beat yourself if you are unable to be the other,
 
be wise
Be yourself
