omg A letter from devil

This can really make you think.
It actually made me mad while I was reading it This is deep.. and I wasn't going to share it but you'll see. It is very true!

A LETTER TO YOU FROM SATAN
I saw you yesterday as you began your daily chores. You awoke without kneeling to pray. As a matter of fact, you didn't even bless your meals, or pray before going to bed last night.
You are so unthankful, I like that about you. I cannot tell you how glad I am that you have not changed your way of living, you are mine. Remember, you and I have been going steady for years. and I still don't love you yet. He kicked me out of heaven, and I'm going to use you as long a possible to pay him back.

You see, Fool, GOD LOVES YOU and HE has great plans in store for you. But you have yielded your life to me, and I'm going to make your life a living hell. That way, we'll be together twice. This will really hurt God. Thanks to you, I'm really showing Him who's boss in your life with all of the good times we've had. We have been cursing people out, stealing, lying, being hypocritical, fornicating, overeating, telling dirty jokes, gossiping, being judgmental, back stabbing people, disrespecting adults, and those in leadership positions, no respect for the Church, bad attitudes. SURELY you don't want to give all this up. Come on, let's burn together forever.
I've got some hot plans for us. This is just a letter of appreciation from me to you. I'd like to say "THANKS" for letting me use you for most of your foolish life. You are so gullible, I laugh at you.

When you are tempted to sin, you give in HA HA HA, you make me sick. Sin is beginning to take it's toll on your life. You look 20 years older, and now I need new blood. So go ahead and teach some children how to sin. All you have to do is smoke, get drunk or drink while underaged, cheat, gamble, gossip, fornicate, and live being as selfish as possible. Do all of this in the presence of children and they will do it too. Kids are like that.

Well, I have to let you go for now. I'll be back in a couple of seconds to tempt you again. If you were smart, you would run somewhere, confess you sins, live for God with what little bit of life that you have left. t's not my nature to warn anyone, but to be your age and still sinning, it's becoming a bit ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I still hate you.



wow, so how your feelings now? Are you guys aware of how much God love us and the devil hate us and able to tempt alot of ppl to sin. It never too late to change and turn to the right way for ppl dat had been tempted before. We are all sinners and Jesus take away our sin. Heaven is free and it all whether you want to believe in God anot. God is the truth,the way and the life! nothing you can do to make Him love you more and mothing you have done would make him close the door. Cheers! Praise Him! May the glory be with Him!

yipee!

Dear Beloveds,
One year is coming to an end! Praise God He has seen all of us through another year! We have been so blessed by Him! Continue to walk strong in Him and persevere to do all that He desire us to accomplish in our lives and through our lives.

As you spend time at home during the holidays, try to spend as much time with Jesus as you can and get to know Him and His ways deeper and better. Your future is in His hands!
Take care! God Bless! c ya next year!

A "Very Blessed Christmas and wonderful Year" to all of you!

a woman oni has ONE flaw...

By the time the Lord made woman,>>he was into his sixth day of working overtime.>>An angel appeared and said,>>"Why are you spending so much time on thisone?">>And the Lord answered,>> "Have you seen my spec sheet on her?>>She has to be completely washable, but notplastic,>>have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable>>and able to run on diet coke and leftovers,>>have a lap that can hold four children at one time,>>have a kiss that can cure anything from ascraped knee to a brokenheart>>-and she will do everything>>with only two hands.">>The angel was astounded at the requirements.>>"Only two hands!?>>No way!>>And that's just on the standard model?>>That's too much work for one day.>>Wait until tomorrow to finish.">>"But I won't," the Lord protested.>>"I am so close to finishing this creation that is soclose to my ownheart.>>She already heals herself when she is sick>>AND can work 18 hours a day.">>The angel moved closer and touched the woman.>>"But you have made her so soft, Lord.">>"She is soft," the Lord agreed,>>"but I have also made her tough.>>You have no idea what she can endure oraccomplish.">>"Will she be able to think?", asked the angel.>>The Lord replied,>>"Not only will she be able to think,>>she will be able to reason and negotiate.">>The angel then noticed something,>>and reaching out, touched the woman's cheek.>>"Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model.>>I told you that you were trying to put too muchinto this one.">>"That's not a leak,">>the Lord corrected,>>"that's a tear!">>"What's the tear for?" the angel asked.>>The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressingher joy,>>her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love,>>her loneliness, her grief and her pride.">>The angel was impressed.>>"You are a genius, Lord.>>You thought of everything!>>Woman is truly amazing.">>And she is!>>Women have strengths that amaze men.>>They bear hardships and they carry burdens,>>but they hold happiness,>>love, and joy.>>They smile when they want to scream.>>They sing when they want to cry.>>They cry when they are happy>>and laugh when they are nervous.>>They fight for what they believe in.>>They stand up to injustice.>>They don't take "no" for an answer>>when they believe there is a better solution.>>They go without so their family can have.>>They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.>>They love unconditionally.>>They cry when their children excel>>and cheer when their friends get awards.>>They are happy when they hear about>>a birth or a wedding.>>Their hearts break when a friend dies.>>They grieve at the loss of a family member,>>yet they are strong when they think there is nostrength left.>>They know that a hug and a kiss>>can heal a broken heart.>>Women come in all shapes, sizes, and colors.>>They'll drive, fly, walk, run, or e-mail you>>to show how much they care about you.>>The heart of a woman is what makes the worldkeep turning.>>They bring joy, hope and love.>>They have compassion and ideals.>>They give moral support to their family and friends.>>Women have vital things to say and everything togive.>>HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW INWOMEN,>>IT IS THAT THEY sometimes FORGET THEIRWORTH.

"I'm with you, Darling"

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the gem of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and keep itin the cupboard. His wife, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot the matter.The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle fascinated by its color and drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant foradults in small dosages. When the child collapsed, the mother hurried him to the hospital. He died.The mother was stunned! She was terrified how she was going to face her husband. When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the deadchild, he looked at his wife and uttered just five words.

QUESTIONS: 1. What were the five words? 2. What is the implication of this story?

ANSWER: The husband just said "I am with you Darling".The husband's totally unexpected reaction is aproactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life.There is no point infinding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would not have happened. No one is to be blamed. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world."A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness,selfishness, andfears. And you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think.
MORAL OF THE STORY This story is really worth reading. Sometimes we spend time in asking who is responsible or whom to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. By this way we miss out some warmth in human relationship.

did you know?

Did you know that when you envy someone, it's because you really like that person?


Did you know that those who appear to be very strong in heart, are real weaklings and most succeptible?

Did you know that those who spend their time protecting others are the ones that really need some one to protect them?

Did you know that the three most difficult things to say are : I love you,Sorry and help me The people who say these are that actually need them or really feel them, and are the ones you really need to treasure, because they have said them.


Did you know that people who occupy themselves by keeping others company or helping others are the ones that actually need your company and help?

Did you know that those who dress in red are more confidence in themselves?

Did you know that those who dress in yellow are those that enjoy their beauty?

Did you know that those who dress in black, are those who want to be unnoticed and need your help and understanding?

Did you know that when you help someone, the help is returned in two folds?

Did you know that those who need more of you are those that not mention it to you?


Did you know that it's easier to say what you feel in writting than saying it to someone in the face?But did you know that it has more value when you say it in the face?

Did you know that what is most difficult for you to say or do is much more valuable than anything that is valuable that you can buy with money?

Did you know that if you ask for something in faith, your wishes are granted?

Did you know that you can make your dreams come true, like falling in love, becoming rich, staying healthy, if you ask for it by faith, and if you really knew, you'd be surprised by what you could do.


But don't believe everything I tell you, until you try it for yourself , if you know someone that is in need of something that I mentioned of,and you know that you can help,you'll see that it will be returned in two folds.

"One day, we mad people will change the world...or we are already changing it " THE BALL IS NOW IN YOUR COURT... If the world were to end in 24 hours,all the phone lines, chat rooms and email will be saturated from people sending messages to others, saying: "I regret having made you feel bad", "Pardon me", "I love you", "I hold you in high esteem", take good care of yourself" and sometimes "I have always loved you, only I never told you".

a letter

A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see the bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then he saw an envelope propped up prominently on the centre of the bed. It was addressed, "Dad". With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope and read the letter with trembling hands: Dear Dad, It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mum and you. I've been finding real passion with Joan and she is so nice, even with all her piercings, tattoos, and her tight Motorcycle clothes. But it's not only the passion dad, she's pregnant and Joan said that we will be very happy. Even though you won't care for her as she is so much older than I, she already owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. She wants to have many more children with me and that's now one of my dreams too. Joan taught me that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone and we'll be growing it for us and trading it with her friends for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want. In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Joan can get better; she sure deserves it!! Don't worry Dad, I'm 15 years old now and I know how to take care of myself. Someday I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get to know your grandchildren. Your son, John
PS: Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at the neighbor's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my report card that's in my desk center drawer. I love you!Call when it is safe for me to come home.

Read only if you have time for God

Let me tell you, make sure you read all the way to the bottom., I thought...I don't have time for this... And ... this is really inappropriate during work.
Then, I realized that this kind of thinking is exactly what has caused lot of the problems in our world today.
We do like to have Him around during sickness... And, of course, at funerals.
However, we don't have time, or room, for Him during work or play... Because that's the part of our lives we think we can, and should, handle on our own. May God forgive me for ever thinking...
That there is a time or place where...HE is not to be FIRST in my life.
We should always have time to remember all HE has done for us.
If you aren't ashamed to do this...Please follow the directions. Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father."Not ashamed?
Yes, I do Love God. HE is my source of existence and Savior.
He keeps me functioning each and every day.
Without Him, I will be nothing. But, with Christ, He strengthens me. (Phil 4:13)
This is the simplest test.
THE POEM
I knelt to pray but not for long, I had too much to do. I had to hurry and get to work for bills would soon be due. So I knelt and said a hurried prayer and jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done. My soul could rest at ease.
All day long I had no time to spread a word of cheer. No time to speak of Christ to friends, they'd laugh at me I'd fear. No time, no time, too much to do
That was my constant cry, no time to give to souls in need ...
But, at last, the time, the time to die.
I went before the Lord. I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God held a book; It was the book of life.
God looked into his book and said "Your name I cannot find I once was going to write it down ...But never found the time." Make sure that you scroll through to the end. Easy vs. Hard Why is it so hard to tell the truth but yet so easy to tell a lie?
Why are we so sleepy in church but right when the sermon is over we suddenly wake up?
Why is it so hard to talk about God but yet so easy to talk about nasty stuff?
Why is it so boring to look at a Christian magazine, but yet so easy to look at a nasty one?
Why is it so easy to delete a Godly e-mail, but yet we forward all of the nasty ones?
Why are the churches getting smaller but yet the bars and dance clubs are getting larger?
Do you give up? Think about it. Just remember - God is watching you. Prayer Wheel-Let's see the devil stop this one!
Of all the free gifts we may receive, prayer is the very best one...
There are no costs, but wonderful rewards ... GOD BLESS!
May God keep you and bless you. If this doesn't give you chills, nothing will ... This message is very true. Hope you are all as blessed as I was from this story. I wonder how many people will delete this without reading it because of the title on it? Notes: Isn't it funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Isn't it funny how someone can say "I believe in God" but still follow Satan (who, by the way, also "believes" in God).

To my angels

This morning when the Lord opened a window to Heaven, he saw me, and he asked: "My child, what is your greatest wish for today?"
I responded: " Lord, please take care of the person who is reading this message , their family and their special friends.
They deserve it, and I love them very much". The love of God is like the ocean: you can see its beginning, but not it's end.
Angels exist, but sometimes, since they don't all have wings, we call them friends, such as you.
take care my angels!

guilty or not

Yesterday i was rushing to church for URM duty. I beat the traffic lightbecause i needto rush to reach by 5pm. I realise thru my rear mirror that a police car wastailing me frombehind. I know i was in trouble. I drive slowly to see if he will wave me tothe side of theroad. True enough he did. He walked up to me and asked for my ic & drivinglicense. I told him i was rushing to church because i am already late. Hethen looked at the bible beside me. Straight away i said, " I know why youstop me. Give me a summon because i know i am wrong."The policeman ask, "Mengapa mau saman?" I said, " Because I am wrong. Idrive thru the red light."He said, "Tiada saman. I am only concern about your safety. You can go now."I was so touch by this young, handsome, malay policeman.This has reminded me that we need to be quick to tell God we are guilty ifwe are in the wrong.A lot of people (not URM definately) has forgotten how merciful our God canbe if we are willing to come to the Father!God Bless all of you.

daddy's empty chair

A man's daughter had asked the local minister to come and pray with her father.When the minister arrived, he found the man lying in bed with his head propped up on two pillows.An empty chair sat at his bedside.
The minister assumed that the old fellow had been informed of his visit."I guess you were expecting me, he said.'No, who are you?" said the father.The minister told him his name and then remarked,I saw the empty chair and I figured you knew I was going to show up,""Oh yeah, the chair,"said the bedridden man."Would you mind closing the door?" Puzzled, the minister shut the door."I have never told anyone this,not even my daughter," said the man."But all of my life I have never known how to pray.At church I used to hear the pastor talk about prayer,but it went right over my head."I abandoned any attempt at prayer,"the old man continued," until one day four years ago, my best friend said to me,"Johnny, prayer is just a simple matter of having a conversation with Jesus.Here is what I suggest." Sit down in a chair;place an empty chair in front of you,and in faith see Jesus on the chair.It's not spooky
because he promised,I will be with you always'."Then just speak to him in the same way you're doing with me right now.""So, I tried it and I've liked it so much that I do it a couple of hours every day.I'm careful though If my daughter saw me talking to an empty chair,she'd either have a nervous breakdown or send me off to the funny farm."The minister was deeply moved by the story and encouraged the old man to continue on the journey.Then he prayed with him, anointed him with oil,and returned to the church. Two nights la ter the daughter called to tell the minister that her daddy had died that afternoon.
Did he die in peace?" he asked. Yes, when I left the house about two o'clock,he called me over to his bedside,
told me he loved me and kissed me on the cheek.When I got back from the store an hour later,I found him dead.
But there was something strange about his death. Apparently, just before Daddy died,he leaned over and rested his head on the chair beside the bed. What do you make of that?"The minister wiped a tear from his eye and said,"I wish we could all go like that."
Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive.
I asked God for water,
He gave me an ocean.
I asked God for a flower,
He gave me a garden.
I asked God for a friend,
He gave me all of YOU...
If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.

Message: Message: A student ask a teacher, "what is love?"
The teacher said, "in order to answer your
question, go to the paddy field and choose the
biggest paddy and come back.

But the rule is: you can go through them only
once and cannot turn back to pick."

The student went to the field, go thru first row,
he saw one big paddy, but he wonders ....may be
there is a bigger one later.

Then he saw another bigger one... but may be
there is a even bigger one waiting for him.

Later, when he finished more than half of the
paddy field, he start to realize that the paddy is not
as
big as the previous one he saw, he know he has
missed the biggest one, and he regretted !!!!

So, he ended up went back to the teacher with
empty hand. The teacher told him, "...this is love...
you keep looking for a better one, but when later
you realize, you have already miss the person...."

"What is marriage then?" the student asked.
The teacher said, "in order to answer your
question, go to the corn field and choose the
biggest corn and come back.

But the rule is: you can go through them only
once and cannot turn back to pick."

The student went to the corn field, this time he
is careful not to repeat the previous mistake, when
he reach the middle of the field, he has
picked one medium corn that he feel satisfy,
and come back to the teacher.

The teacher told him, "this time you bring back
a corn.... you look for one that is just nice, and
you
have faith and believe this is the best one
you get.... this is marriage."

Let it go... Trust me..

Hope this short mail will touch your hearts in a small way. Enjoyreading. Letting Go. Jenny was a bright-eyed, pretty five-year-old girl. One day when she and her mother were checking out at the grocery store, Jenny saw a plastic pearl necklace priced at $2.50. How she wanted that necklace and when she asked her mother if she would buy it for her, her mother said, "Well, it is a pretty necklace, but it costs an awful lot of money. I'll tell you what. I'll buy you the necklace, and when we get home we can make up a list of chores that you can do to pay for the necklace. And don't forget that for your birthday Grandma just might give you a whole dollar bill, too. Okay?" Jenny agreed, and her mother bought the pearl necklace for her. Jenny worked on her chores very hard everyday, and sure enough, her Grandma gave her a brand new dollar bill for her birthday. Soon Jenny had paid off the pearls. How Jenny loved those pearls. She wore them everywhere - to kindergarten, bed, and when she went out with her mother to run errands. The only time she didn't wear them was in the shower - her mother had told her that they would turn her neck green. Now Jenny had a very loving daddy. When Jenny went to bed, he would get up from his favorite chair every night and read Jenny her favorite story. One night when he finished the story, he said, "Jenny, do you love me?" "Oh yes, Daddy, you know I love you," the little girl said. "Well, then, give me your pearls." "Oh daddy, not my pearls!" Jenny said! . "But y ou can have Rosie, my favorite doll. Remember her? You gave her to me last year for my birthday. And you can have her tea party outfit, too. Okay?" "Ohno, darling, that's okay." Her father brushed her cheek with a kiss. "Good night, little one." A week later, her father once again asked Jenny after her story,"Do you love me?" "Oh yes, Daddy, you know I love you." "Well, then, give me your pearls." "Oh, Daddy, not my pearls! But you can have Ribbons, my toy horse. Do you remember her? She's my favorite. Her hair is so soft, and you can play with it and braid it and everything. You can have Ribbons if you want her, Daddy," the little girl said to her father. "No, that's okay," her father said and brushed her cheek again with a kiss. "God bless you, little one. Sweet dreams." Several days later, when Jenny's father came in to read her a story, Jenny was sitting on her bed and her lip was trembling. "Here, Daddy," she said, and held out her hand. She opened it and her beloved pearl necklace was inside. She let it slip into her father's hand. With one hand her father held the plastic pearls and with the other he pulled out of his pocket a blue velvet box. Inside of the box were real, genuine, beautiful pearls. He had them all along. He was waiting for Jenny to give up the cheap stuff so he could give her the real thing. So it is with our Heavenly Father. He is waiting for us to give up the cheap things in our lives so that he can give us beautiful treasure. Isn't God good? Are you holding onto things God wants you to let go of? Are you holding onto harmful or unnecessary partners, relationships, habits and activities you have become so attached to that it seems impossible to let go?Sometimes it is so hard to see what is in the other hand but do believe this one thing.................God will never take away something without giving you something better in its place.

You just put him in there.This tests your memory. Okay, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your true abilities. 4. There is a river you must cross but it is used by crocodiles, and you do not have a boat. How do you manage it? Correct Answer: You jump into the river and swim across. Have you not been listening? All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting.This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes. According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong, but many preschoolers got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four-year-old.

this is so true!!! wow!

A group of working adults got together to visit their University lecturer. The Lecturer was happy to see them. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. The lecturer just smiled and went to the kitchen to get an assortment of cups - some porcelain, some in plastic, some in glass, some plain looking and some looked rather expensive and exquisite. The Lecturer offered his former students the cups to get drinks for themselves. When all the students had a cup in hand with water, the Lecturer spoke: "If you noticed, all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal that you only want the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all you wanted was water, not the cup, but we unconsciously went for the better cups." "Just like in life, if Life is Water, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold/maintain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change." "If we only concentrate on the cup, we won't have time to enjoy/taste the water in it." "Ability may take you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there."-John Wooden, Basketball Coach.

journal from kducf multiply (what is the right way? what is the truth?)

In the year A.D. 30 many Jews and God-fearing Gentiles who had gathered in Jerusalem for the Jewish feast of Pentecost asked this question after hearing Peter speak to the crowds about Jesus. We also asked ourselves this very same question, as does everyone who thinks more deeply about the sense of life, regardless of whether they are an atheist, a Buddhist or a Catholic.
We have come from a wide range of backgrounds, religious and non-religious, but we have all come to realise that the many different paths available do not lead to one and the same destination. There are so many ways out there to choose from - so many people offering answers; Protestants, Catholics, Jehovah's Witnesses, Adventists, Methodists, Pentecostals, Buddhists, Muslims, atheists, ... The question is:
What is the right way? What is truth?
The answer you often hear is, "Everybody has his own truth", or, "No one can really know it". In our opinion, such statements contradict the fact that there is an objective reality. Either the earth is round or it is flat. It cannot be both. The one reality remains absolute and unchanged regardless of the way you look at it. It is the same with religious questions. When it comes down to it, it is not possible for two opposing and contradictory alternatives to exist simultaneously - one for you and one for me. If the reality is that there is a resurrection after death, then there cannot be reincarnation. You cannot have both eternal life after death and the annihilation of the soul. If matter was created by God it cannot have existed from eternity. Or let us consider some other questions to which contradictory answers cannot both be right: Is Jesus God, or is he not? Does God predestine people to condemnation, or does He give them free will? Can a Christian fall away from God, or is he 'once saved, always saved'? Is man sinful by nature, or is he not? Does hell exist, or does it not?
Questions like these ought to inspire everyone who wants to get to know God's nature to form an opinion. Can we remain indifferent when faced with these questions if we are interested in finding out how to live according to God's will?
To find answers to these questions we do not think that we need a new revelation, or some kind of new special method of interpreting the Bible. Nor do we think that we are the source of the truth - we are very aware of our imperfections and humbly accept our limitations - but we believe that truth is accessible, because Jesus revealed it to mankind.
The majority of people hold the opinion that there is no absolute truth. In our society, the view that the truth is relative is the predominating ideology. Many people have become accustomed to this stream of thought and think that one's idea of truth is relative and has no validity for others: "What seems good to me is what is right for me!" However, if everything has the same validity, then in the end nothing matters. The standard according to which good and bad, right and wrong are measured is completely missing. Everyone can find something to suit his own personal taste and needs. People paint their own picture of heaven, choosing the colours from a palette of their own desires and wishes, creating their own religion, which seems to fit well enough for the time being... In fact, religion is widely treated as yet another branch of the arts, like the world of fashion in which people shape trends and trends, in turn, shape people. However, God's way is different...
How does God want me to use my life?
In God's eyes every person who does not seek the truth is enslaved. But Jesus wants to deliver us from slavery - it's up to us to accept his offer.
So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you continue in My word, {then} you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." (John 8:31-32)
The truth will make us free - this means that we need to see the truth about ourselves, we need to realise and confess our sinfulness, and accept that we need God's forgiveness through Jesus, as Peter said:
Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the Gift of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38)
Then He can give us the power to give up our sins and live a holy life, then He can give us the strength to devote our whole life to serve Him. Jesus wants to redeem us, He wants to set us free from selfish desires and sexual sins, from vanity and envy, from the feeling of inferiority and pride, from arrogance and the urge to win the favour of other people.
Jesus also wants to set us free from all kinds of deceptive teachings which lead people to concentrate on themselves even more in the effort to save themselves. But He also wants to set us free from wrong ideas which people call Christianity, where people devote vast amounts of time and energy to the cause of social justice but neglect the spiritual fight against sin.
Jesus wants to free us from teachings which provide an assurance of God's forgiveness but forget that discipleship is all about following Jesus. He wants to liberate us from doctrines which promise God's grace, but renounce obedience as legalistic. For this reason we seek the truth, searching for God's will in both our lives and teaching.
This search for God's will led us to the question:
What should a Christian community be like?
The community of Christians in Jerusalem that formed after the apostles' preaching is described in Acts 2:
They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer... Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart... (Acts 2:42 and 46)
For Christians in that time it was natural to come together for fellowship and to deal with the teaching every day. Their common life bore witness to their great interest in, and love for God and their brothers and sisters. We, too, have this sincere desire to share our lives with our sisters and brothers in faith, to read the Bible together, and to take part in each other's joys, sorrows and spiritual fights. We are very thankful that we can live in a time when good transport and convenient working hours make daily community possible. For us, daily community is an expression of love and a result of the wish to live out what we believe, to devote our time to God and to our brothers and sisters in faith. We use our time for the things that are important for us.
If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. 1 John 4:21 And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his brother also. (1 John 4:20-21)
This vibrant, committed fellowship is of great value in helping us to strengthen one another in our struggles and practice the principle expressed in the Bible:
But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called "Today," so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. (Hebrews 3:13)
We do not want to build superficial relationships or show a good front to one another and by doing so avoid revealing the reality about ourselves. Instead, we confess our sins and weaknesses to one another in order to help one another in the fight for holiness, following the example of Jesus.
...love one another, even as I have loved you... (John 13:34)
This is the kind of love we want to live - not just on Sundays or at celebrations but every day alike; not only with particular friends but with anyone who wants to live in the truth.

sweet story

A girl asked a guy if he thought she was pretty, he said...no.
She asked him if he would want to be with her forever....and he said no.
She then asked him if she were to leave would he cry, and once again he replied with a no.
She had heard enough.
As she walked away, tears streaming down her face the boy grabbed her arm and said....
You're not pretty you're beautiful.
I dont want to be with you forever. I NEED to be with you forever.
And I wouldnt cry if you walked away...I'd die...

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL ........AND YOU WILL CRY...

Sally jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room. She said: "How is my little boy? Is he going to be all right? When can I see him?" The surgeon said, "I'm sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn't make it." Sally said, "Why do little children get cancer? Doesn't God care any more? Where were you, God, when my son needed you?" The surgeon asked, "Would you like some time alone with your son? One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he's transported to the university." Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good-bye to son. She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair. "Would you like a lock of his hair?" the nurse asked. Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally. The mother said, "It was Jimmy's idea to donate his body to the university for study. He said it might help somebody else. "I said no at first, but Jimmy said, 'Mom, I won't be using it after I die. Maybe it will help some other little boy spend one more day with his Mom." She went on, "My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he could." Sally walked out of Children's mercy Hospital for the last time, after spending most of the last six months there. She put the bag with Jimmy's belongings on the seat beside her in the car. The drive home was difficult. It was even harder to enter the empty house. She carried Jimmy's belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to her son's room. She started placing the model cars and other personal things back in his room exactly where he had always kept them. She lay down across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep. It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Lying beside her on the bed was a folded letter. The letter said: "Dear Mom, I know you're going to miss me; but don't think that I will ever forget you, or stop loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to say I LOVE YOU. I will always love you, Mom, even more with each day. Someday we will see each other again. Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be so lonely, that's okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to play with. But, if you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't like the same things us boys do. You'll have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like, you know. Don't be sad thinking about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time to see everything. The angels are so cool. I love to watch them fly. And, you know what? Jesus doesn't look like any of his pictures. Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see GOD! And guess what, Mom? I got to sit on God's knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody important. That's when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you good-bye and everything. But I already knew that wasn't allowed. Well, you know what Mom? God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter. I think Gabriel is the name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to you. God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you asked Him 'Where was He when I needed him?' "God said He was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children. Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see what I've written except you. To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool? I have to give God His pen back now. He needs it to write some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I'm, sure the food will be great. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don't hurt anymore. The cancer is all gone. I'm glad because I couldn't stand that pain anymore and God couldn't stand to see me hurt so much, either. That's when He sent The Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery! How about that? Signed with Love from: God, Jesus &Me.

4 husbands were sitting at the waiting room in a hospital while waiting for their wives birth giving. Then a nurse came out and told to the first daddy, "Congratulations,you got twins!". "Ohh.. maybe its a coincident" said the daddy. "I am working with the Petronas Twin Towers". Then another nurse came out and told to the second daddy, "Congratulations! You have triplets!"

He answered, "i am working with Seven-Eleven !!!"

my writing about life....

Wow, this is about our life!!! Some of you might ask what is the big deal about our life??? If you ask that you are so wrong! There are a lot of philosophies and issues in our life!!! It is big deal dear people, trust me! Well, of course I’m not going to write about philosophy as I am not a philosopher! Whew, what a relief for you guys! Ha-ha! But (oh no! I know what you guys are thinking! I know a bit of mind reading! Just kidding!) I will write about issues in life that are quite important. Bear with me for this exclusive life journey! You might not agree with me in this walk of life but don’t worry, I won’t force you to accept all my opinions, ways and styles! I know you guys have your own great opinions…use your critical thinking power while reading my book and feel free to disagree or criticize! One concept that I learned is when people criticize you, (duh, of course you feel angry! How dare he/she comment you like that is the line running through your head) what you should do is to try to get over the anger emotion and analyze what he/she said (s what he/she said true? what is it that I should change?), then you decide whether to change yourself. Comment or critics from people are important to let us be aware of how we portray ourselves in people’s eyes and obtain useful advice to let us grow in becoming a better person. Of course there are situations where you don’t have to care about how people think of you! If you are nervous about how people see you, you tend to be acting or fake around them which is not good because you can’t be yourself and you are sure enough let people see that you are not comfortable there! Hmm, how to prevent this from happening is to be confident (how to be confident? Keep in your mind that you are special and useful in your own unique way! Praise God for that! In God eyes, everyone is a grace to Him!), don’t wear too outstanding clothes (my own opinion & experience) and know that everyone is not perfect, dun worry about your flaw too much (of course it will be best if you try to make your strength overshadow your weakness) because everybody has! Just act natural and cool about it! Dun sweat about it! What to write some more? Click, searching for brain neurons…what!!! Error, no brain neurons detected! Impossible! I wouldn’t be living if my brain neurons die, I would either be heaven or hell (hope it is heaven! Arhh, don’t want to crack my head about it and by the way, it is in God hand!) It true, research show it! Go log on internet and check for yourself! Don’t be lazy! I mean myself! Opps, reveal my weakness! Hehe!) The word ‘impossible’, wouldn’t it be great if we turn it to ‘I am possible’! Done research already about the brain neurons? Don’t tell me you don’t know what is internet? If you don’t, you better don’t life in this era… just joking! Don’t go and try to kill yourself because I shan’t be responsible towards your life! Talk about putting responsible upon life, I found out that nowadays people tend to commit suicide when they face problems that I personally feel can be solve with some guidance. Trust me; there is no problem big enough worth to die for! Why modern or civilized act so uncivilized? Like people from thousand ages ago who don’t know how precious is a life. Guidance is needed in this case. Anyone else intend to become a counselor? With the stress of job, money or other kind of pressure mankind are facing, this job promise a good fortune and future! Since when did I recommend people job? A minute ago I guess? One thing is your life is given by God (in Malaysia, there are many religion, so suit yourself!) and you have no right or privilege to take your life like that! I take it as a selfish act for people who commit suicide! It is true that everything end when they die but it is a different stories for their loved one especially their family, relatives and friends. Their loved one has to bare the memory and sadness until the end of their life! I know it is harsh to say but isn’t it is an act of cruel? Well, I left it for you to think and analyze it. Think about it, how many unlucky people in world are suffering from all kind of various diseases struggle to breath for one day, a few hours, 1 hour or even 1 minute! What did they do to deserve it? Some are just small kids! Only God know because He plans everything with hidden meaning (Uh oh, God is secretive aren’t He? Dun worry, the truth will be revealed one day! He is merciful and graceful towards us because He send His only son Jesus to die for us!) If you think your life sucks and you want to end it right now, wake up! Go check around the world and you will find out that there are many needy people in this world that waiting for miracle so that they can live. You will totally swimming in your own tears when you see them. Try being a social worker, you will be give thanks that you are able to live, you will be much happier and definitely cherish or perish the time in your entire life! Helping people give you a sense of fullness and happiness because you are able to help them. I don’t think there are many people willing to become social worker as there are plenty things for us to do in life such as homework assignment, preparing exam if you are student and if you are working, your working day already take up half of your day. With so many things for us to accomplish, we might feel stress if we couldn’t accomplish what we plan to. This is where stress management is important. Many class or books about stress management have been here to reach out for people who need it. If you don’t know how to manage stress, you might end up in mental hospital (I won’t want to visit you because I am scared! Joking!) Maybe for some people shouting or throwing tantrum towards people (that not the way to get out emotion and you just hurt people feelings, I used to be like that as my emotion is unstable) my suggestion is exercising or anything that get the sweat out of your body (this work for me at least), you can also shout it loud at a place where no human beings are detected. Why not talk to your intimate or trustable adult or counselor. One point here, when you are in the middle of heat or fire, quickly runs away because you don’t want people to get fire burn, I mean hurt anybody. You must also blurt what make you angry because if you don’t, one day the volcano will explode (seriously!) you will certainly break down and become insane(oh no) if you don’t know how to mange stress! Actually there is a scientific name for this stress disease (go back home and look for medical dictionary! hehe!)

In this new generation, humankind needs to work or study extra hard to survive! You have to be better than others in order to crab a place in work or study. There are so called stratagems involve especially in workplace. It isn’t just about work but relationship or the bond between people (sigh that the hard part and it is what make people stress! That why there are a lot of books or talks about how to manage human relationships in work) Why oh why it is so hard to deal with human? I guess it is because everyone wants to become successful in life and this make them put on a mask while they are in work place, never use their heart while dealing with people. Another thing is each one of us has different personality as we are brought up by different way, culture, value and religion. (Well, that what make the world “colorful”, isn’t it?)

I remember one Chinese quote that say it is good that we can speak human language when we deal with human and speak ghost language while we deal with ghost; but it is best if we speak ghost language while dealing with human beings yet they still can understand what we say and speak human language while dealing with ghost yet they still can understand us! This for sure isn’t easy to be done! Practice make perfect! Sounds familiar? It true! Anything that we do, preparation and practice make us more confident as we know well what to do because we already get use to it! I hope I will remain silent to my words!! Ha-ha! Because alot of time i didn follow my own words!

Oh yea, you guys heard the phrase an eye for an eye and an apple for an apple? Do you guys agree with it? I will not force you guys to view the same as I do but I am just merely giving my point. Of course you repay a kindness with kindness. When it comes to evil it is a different thing, normally people will take revenge. Bible (seriously, it is not as boring as you think, trust me!) did say that an eye for an eye but it doesn’t need to be done like that! Why can’t we overcome evil with good and leave all the injustice in God’s hands? I know you might think that it is stupid to do that but one thing is hating a people will not make you any good but only fill your heart with hatred. Furthermore, you will feel angry, unhappy, sad and more negative emotion. This is bad because why you want to punish yourself with other people sin? You are putting the burden onto your shoulder, doesn’t u think so? I know that it hurt a lot to bear when people done evil on you but you have to understand that human aren’t perfect and they are living in darkness! What you can do is show them love and bear with them, it not easy to do and a lot of patience is needed. Don’t you feel lighter once you forgive those evil things that people do to you? The joy and happiness just back to you like that (whoosh, magic!) Talk about overcoming evil things, temptations and problems, you will have to overcome it everyday! It is just whether small problems or major breakdown in your life. Believe me; I deal with it almost everyday! One thing is you don’t feel shy to admit your weakness and that you will need guide from the right source (right source is very important because they will give you right advice, I get this words from one of my friend and don’t you think it is true?)

The right influence is important because as a human, we are easy to being influence by our surrounding. How to get right influence? I personally think that it is done by joining extra-curriculums in school, good affiliation, sports and of course religion places (these places will give peace to your soul and every religion promotes good values in life!) One thing about religion is if we are saved (I am using Christianity sample, I apologized if I have offend anybody), it is right that we should hate sin but we shouldn’t hate sinner but we should love them and support them! This is so true; judge yourself before you judge others! I admit that we always judge people especially by the first impression. We are always stereotyping people without any reason. I have to be frank that I may judge people unconsciously and I am changing myself. You know why we shouldn’t do that? This is because everyone is special or different and you might never know what you can learn from the people you judge! Think about the feelings when you are being judge, if you hate being judge then why should you judge? Do you feel happy if other people sad? Of course it is clear that we can humbly confront the people when we know that they are doing sin. It is our responsibility to carefully tell people especially when we know they are committing sin. There is a saying which is a gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without adversity. There are a lot of hardship to go through before you truly grow up as a human (no one is perfect, I am being honest!). We are growing especially spiritually everyday through the things we gone through. There are a lot of these love thingy people like to know about, I have come across this saying by a writer. If you like a person but he/she doesn’t like you back, then he/she isn’t worthwhile for you to wait (I have this experience before, it is hard to forget but time will wash everything and let the feeling over by making yourself focusing on other things like studies, sports and others) Find a person who know how to appreciate, accept, love, care for you and endure you! In quest for searching love, you don’t have to lower your value or compromise your belief (this is a debate by many people because some believe that they should change themselves to get love and some believe they shouldn’t, what you guys think?) don’t waste your time waiting for a person who doesn’t worth it, go on with your life and search for people who will understand you and remain your friends no matter up or downs. God is a suitable person for this friend that we need, He will be beside you until the very last breath of yours and He is forever faithful!

All bout U,God!

My fren wrote it n i think it is good,dat why i publish and share it! enjoy....

When you are facing your greatest fear and despair,
When you feel that your heart has been broken to pieces,
When you are walking on life's darkest highway
Remember that the Lord has not deserted you,
Like the way He overcome Satan in His time of trial and temptation,
He will give you the strength and wisdom too...
Remember.....You are of God......

Cheers! Praise God! Thx God for wat U have done to us!

"Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile." -Albert Einstein


There is no Gain in the world: so be it: but neither is there any Loss. There is never any failure to this infinite freshness of life, and the ancient novelty is forever renewed. We realize the world better if we imagine it, not as a Progress to Prim Perfection, but as the sustained upleaping of a Fountain, the pillar of a Glorious Flame. For, after all, we cannot go beyond the ancient image of Heraclitus, the "Ever-living Flame, kindled in due measure and in the like measure extinguished." That translucent and mysterious Flame shines undyingly before our eyes, never for two moments the same, and always miraculously incalculable, an ever-flowing stream of fire. The world is moving, men tell us, to this, to that, to the other. Do not believe them! Men have never known what the world is moving to. Who foresaw--to say nothing of older and vaster events--the Crucifixion? What Greek or Roman in his most fantastic moments prefigured our thirteenth century? What Christian foresaw the Renaissance? Who ever really expected the French Revolution? We cannot be too bold, for we are ever at the incipient point of some new manifestation far more overwhelming than all our dreams. No one can foresee the next aspect of the Fountain of Life. And all the time the Pillar of that Flame is burning at exactly the same height it has always been burning at! The World is everlasting Novelty, everlasting Monotony. It is just which aspect you prefer. You will always be right.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

The gains in life come slowly and the losses come on suddenly. You work for years to get your life the way you want it and buy the big house and the time share on Antigua and one afternoon you’re run down by a garbage truck and lie in the intersection, dazed, bloodied, your leg unnaturally bent, and suddenly life becomes terribly challenging for six months.
-Garrison Keillor, Homegrown Democrat, 2004

-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating.
-O. Henry, Gift of the Magi


Dance like there's nobody watching Love like you'll never get hurtSing like there's nobody listeningLive like it's heaven on earthAnd speak from the heart to be heard. Purkey is the source of this quotation that is attributed to many others: it was made popular in the song "Come From The Heart" written by Susannah Clark and Richard Leigh. Purkey closed his speeches with this poem and it has now made it into the public domain.
-William W. Purkey


If I'd gotten the job I wanted at Montgomery Ward, I suppose I would never have left Illinois. I've often wondered at how lives are shaped by what seem like small and inconsequential events, how an apparently random turn in the road can lead you a long way from where you intended to go--and a long way from wherever you expected to go. For me, the first of these turns occurred in the summer of 1932, in the abyss of the Depression.
-Ronald Reagan, An American Life

-William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Epilogue, October 8, 1600


"All the world's a stage,And all the men and women merely players.They have their exits and their entrances,And one man in his time plays many parts,His acts being seven ages."
-William Shakespeare, As You Like It


Not life, but good life, is to be chiefly valued." -Socrates


"... I was reminded of a remark of Willa Cather's, that you can't paint sunlight, you can only paint what it does with shadows on a wall. If you examine a life, as Socrates has been so tediously advising us to do for so many centuries, do you really examine a life, or do you examine the shadows it casts on other lives? Entity or relationships? Objective reality or the vanishing point of a multiple perspective exercise? Prism or the rainbows it refracts? And what if you're the wall? What if you never cast a shadow or rainbow of your own, but have only caught those cast by others?" -Wallace Stegner, The Spectator Bird, 1976


For some life lasts a short while, but the memories it holds last forever. -Laura Swenson


"May you live every day of your life." -Jonathan Swift


Still we live meanly, like ants; though the fable tells us that we were long ago changed into men; like pygmies we fight with cranes; it is error upon error, and clout upon clout, and our best virtue has for its occasion a superfluous and evitable wretchedness. Our life is frittered away by detail. An honest man has hardly need to count more than his ten fingers, or in extreme cases he may add his ten toes, and lump the rest. Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb-nail. In the midst of this chopping sea of civilized life, such are the clouds and storms and quicksands and thousand-and-one items to be allowed for, that a man has to live, if he would not founder and go to the bottom and not make his port at all, by dead reckoning, and he must be a great calculator indeed who succeeds. Simplify, simplify. Instead of three meals a day, if it be necessary eat but one; instead of a hundred dishes, five; and reduce other things in proportion.
Henry David Thoreau, Walden, "Where I lived, And What I Lived For"


The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat. -Lily Tomlin


Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to live and to work and to play and to look up at the stars. -Henry Van Dyke


Life is a comedy for those who think... and a tragedy for those who feel.
-Horace Walpole, Letter to Sir Horace Mann, 1770


Life itself is a matter of salesmanship.
-Thomas J. Watson, Men–Minutes–Money, a Collection of Excerpts from Talks


Dr. Miller says we are pessimistic because life seems like a very bad, very screwed-up film. If you ask "What the hell is wrong with the projector?" and go up to the control room, you find it's empty. You are the projectionist, and you should have been up there all the time.
-Colin Wilson


So the days pass, and I ask myself whether one is not hypnotized, as a child by a silver globe, by life, and whether this is living. -Virginia Woolf


"At thirty, man suspects himself a fool; Knows it at forty, and reforms his plan".

"All men think all men mortal but themselves."
-Edward Young, Night Thoughts. Night i. Line 424.


"Time flies, death urges, knells call, Heaven invites, Hell threatens."

The trouble with so many of us is that we underestimate the power of simplicity. We have a tendency it seems to over complicate our lives and forget what's important and what's not. We tend to mistake movement for achievement. We tend to focus on activities instead of results. And as the pace of life continues to race along in the outside world, we forget that we have the power to control our lives regardless of what's going on outside. -Robert Stuberg

Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors.Try to be better than yourself. -William Faulkner


It gets to be part of your everyday routine. I expect to be there on Sunday. I expect to be there at practice. I think back to when I first started school in the first grade and how long it seemed to take to go from first through 12th. You figure in ninth grade you're never going to get out of high school, and you couldn't wait. Here I am in my 14th year and going on 13 for not missing basically a day of school… Part of it is being able to escape injury, overcome some injuries but also be able to play at a high enough level for so long to still be here doing it. The streak itself doesn't stand out to me that it's something I have to continue. As long as I'm a Green Bay Packer, I expect to play. I expect to help this team win and be a tremendous leader. And I expect that to continue until the day I don't play here anymore. commenting on his consecutive-game streak (211 at the time of this article)

quotes

To meet everything and everyone through stillness instead of mental noise is the greatest gift you can offer to the universe. --Eckhart Tolle

And we are put on Earth a little space, that we may learn to bear the beams of love. --William Blake

The little space within the heart is as great as the vast universe. The heavens and the earth are there, and the sun and the moon and the stars. Fire and lightening and winds are there, and all that now is and all that is not. --The Upanishads

Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely. --The Land Before Time

Serenity isn't freedom from the storm, but peace within the storm. --Unknown

The way is not in the sky, the way is in the heart

i am so blessed

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness,you are more blessed than themillion who won't survive the week.

If you have never experienced the danger of battle,the loneliness of imprisonment,the agony of torture orthe pangs of starvation,you are ahead of 20 million peoplearound the world.

If you have food in your refrigerator,clothes on your back, a roof overyour head and a place to sleep,you are richer than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank,in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace, you are amongthe top 8% of the world's wealthy.

If your parents are still married and alive,you are very rare,especially in the United States.
If you hold up your head with a smileon your face and are truly thankful,you are blessed because the majority can,but most do not.

If you can hold someone's hand, hug themor even touch them on the shoulder,you are blessed because you canoffer God's healing touch.

If you can read this message,you are more blessed than overtwo billion people in the worldthat cannot read anything at all.

You are so blessed in waysyou may never even know.

If you are feeling blessed, replay the blessings bestowed unto you and do something for others.
A blessing cannot be kept. If it stops with you, then the blessing will disappear. The blessing will only keep working if it is continuously passed around. If you are a recipient of a blessing, keep the blessing working by being the source of blessing to other people.

Read Each One Carefully and Think About It a Second or Two

Read Each One Carefully and Think About It a Second or Two
I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you..

No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.

To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.

Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.

There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.

Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.

Don't try so hard, the best things come when you! least expect them to.

REMEMBER: WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR A REASON.

smile

"I Would not Quit" He Said

One day I decided to quit...
I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality...
I wanted to quit my life.
I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.
"God", I said. "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"

His answer surprised me...

"Look around", He said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"
"Yes", I replied.
"When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them.
I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth.
Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed.
But I did not quit on the bamboo.

In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. He said.
"In the third year, there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit.
In the fourth year, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. "I would not quit." He said.
"Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth.

Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant...
But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.
It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive.

I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle."
He said to me. "Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots"
"I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you."
"Don't compare yourself to others." He said. "The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern. Yet, they both make the forest beautiful."

"Your time will come", God said to me. "You will rise high!"
"How high should I rise?" I asked.
"How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked in return.
"As high as it can?" I questioned.
"Yes." He said, "Give me glory by rising as high as you can."
I left the forest and bring back this story.
