"Walk With God"

GOD SMILES

God smiles when we love him supremely. God made you to love you to love you and he longs for you to love him back. God deeply loves you and desires your love in return. He longs for you to know him and spend time with him. This is wy learning to love God and be loved by him should be the greatest objective of your life.

When we trust God completely, he smiles at us. Trusting God completely means having faith that he knows what is best for your life. You expect him to keep his promises, help you with problems, and do the impossible when necessary. Trusting is an act of worship. Just as parents are pleased wen children trust their love and wisdom, your faith makes God happy.

Obeying God wholeheartedly makes him smiles. God does not owe you an explanation or reason for everything he asks you to do. Understandng can wait but obedience cannot. Instant obedience will teach you more about God than a lifetime of Bible discussions. In fact, you will never understand some commands until you obey them first. Obedience unlocks understanding. Any kind of obedience is also an act of worship.

God smiles when we praise and thank him continually. Few things feel better than receiving heartfelt praise and appreciation from someone else. He smiles when we express our adoration and gratitude to him. We praise God for who he is and we thank God for what he has done. When we give God enjoyment, our own hearts are filled with joy. We enjoy what God has done for us and when we express that enoyment to God, it brings him joy - but it also increases our joy.

God gives us abilities to use and it makes him smiles. Every human activity, except sin, can be done for God's pleasure if you do it with an attitude of praise. You do not bring glory or pleasure to God by hiding your abilities or by trying to be someone else. You only bring him enjoyment by being you.

Anytime you reject any part of yourself, you are rejecting God's wisdom and sovereignty in creating you. God also gains pleasure in watching you enjoy his creation. He gave you eyes to enjoy beauty, ears to enjoy sounds, your nose and taste buds to enjoy smells and tastes and the nerves under your skin to enjoy touch. Every act of enjoyment becomes an act of worship when you thank God for it.

Verse to Remember: "Rather the Lord takes pleasure in the devout, those who await his faithful care." Psalm 147:11

"Our Purpose"


LIVING WITH A PURPOSE

There are great benefits of living with a purpose life.

We were made to have meaning. This is why most people try to discover it. When life has meaning, you can bear almost anything; without its meaning, nothing is bearable. So, without God, life has no purpose, and without purpose, life has no meaning. And, without meaning, life has no significance or hope. Hope is as essential to your life as air and water. You need hope to cope and hope comes from having a purpose.



Simplifies your life defines what you do and what you don't do. Your purpose becomes the standard you use to evaluate which activities are essential and which are not. Without a clear purpose you have no foundation on which you base decisions, allocate your time and use your resources. You will tend to make choices based on circumstances, pressures and your mood at that moment. People who do not know their purpose try to do too much and that causes stress, fatigue and conflict.

Knowing your purpose focuses your life. It concentrates your effort and energy on what is impotant. You become effective by being selective. It is human nature to get distracted by minor issues. Many people are like gyroscopes, spinning around at a frantic pace but never going anywhere. A lack of focus and purpose in life will keep you changing directions, jobs, relationsips, churches or other externals - hoping each change will settle the confusion or fill the emptiness in your heart.

Purpose always produces passion. Nothing energizes like a clear purpose. On the other hand, passion dissipates when you lack a purpose. Just getting out of bed becomes a major chore. It is usually meaningless work, not overwork, that wears us down, saps our strength and robs our joy.
Many people spend their lives trying to create a lasting legacy on earth.


They want to remembered when they are gone. Yet, what ultimately matters most will not be what others say about your life but what God says. What people fail to realize is that all achievements are eventually surpassed, records are broken, reputations fade and tributes are forgotten.

Living to create an earthly legacy is a short-sighted goal. A wiser use of time is to build an eternal legacy. Because, we were not put on earth to be remembered but to prepare for eternity.

One day all of us will stand before God and he will ask two crucial questions: First, "What did you do with my Son, Jesus Christ?" God would not ask about your religious background or doctrinal views. The only thing that will matter is, did you accept what Jesus did for you and did you learn to love and trust him? The second, "What did you do with what I gave you?"

What did you do with your life - all the gifts, talents, opportunities, energy, relationships, and resources God gave you? Did you spend them on yourself, or did you use them for the purposes God made you for?"

Verse to Remember: "A nation of firm purpose you keep in peace; in peace, for its trust in you." Isaiah 26:3

4give those who hurt you coz God always finds ways to help you out

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well.
The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.

Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway;
it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him.
They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.
At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly.
Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well.He was astonished at what he saw.
With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing.
He would shake it off and take a step up.As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal,

he would shake it off and take a step up.
Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey
stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!MORAL :emember the five simple rules to be happy:


1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive


.2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happens.


3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.4. Give more.


5. Expect less from people but more from God.


"Right Path"


We have two eyes and one tongue which mean we need to look twice and talk once.
We have two ears and one mouth so we need to listen more than we talk.

We have two hands and one stomach so we need to work twice as much as we eat.
We have two major brain parts, the left and the right and one heart so we can think twice and love only one.

Isn't it amazing that our body parts remind us how to live right?

You know, love is just like someone waiting for a bus.when the bus comes, you look at it and you said to yourself."eee....so full....cannot sit down one".so you said to yourself, "i'll wait for the next one"."so you let the bus go and waited for the second bus.then the second bus came, you looked at it and you said,"eee...this bus so old..surely very uncomfortable one."so you let the bus go and again, decided to wait for the next bus.after a while another bus came, it's not crowded, not old but you said,"eee..no air-con one..and the weather is so warm,better wait for the next one"so again you let the bus go and decided to wait for the next bus.
then the sky started to get dark as it is getting late.you panicked and jump on to the next on coming bus.it is not until much later that you found outthat you had boarded on to the wrong bus!so you wasted your time and money waiting for what you want!even if an airson bus came, can you ensure that the aircon buswon't break down or whether will the aircon be too cold for you?so people wanting to get what you want is not wrong.but it wouldn't hurt to give other people a chance right?if you found that the "bus" doesn't suit you,just press the redbutton and get off the bus.but wait...
i'm sure you have this experience before.you saw a bus coming (the bus you want of course)you flagged it but the driver act blurby pretending not seeing you and zoomed pass you!well, and when the bus zoomed pass, what you may have to do is WALK!!!!the bottom line is being loved is like waiting for a bus whether you want.to get on the bus and give the bus a chance depends totally on you.and walking is like being out of love.you never lose by loving.you always lose by holding back.
