"Be The Real You"

Whenever you find yourself drowning in self-hate, you have to remind yourself that you weren't born feeling this way.
That at some point in your journey, some person or experience sent you the message that there was something wrong with who you are,

And you internalized those messages and took them on as your truth.
But that hate isn't yours to carry, and those judgements aren't about you.
And in the same way that you learned to think badly of yourself,
You can learn to think new, self-loving and accepting thoughts.
You can learn to challenge those beliefs, take away their power, and reclaim your own.
It won’t be easy, and it won’t happen over night. But it is possible.
And it starts when you decide that there has to be more to life than this pain you feel.
It starts when you decide that you deserve to discover it.
So don’t fear the judgements of others; you know in your heart who you are and what’s true to you.
You don’t have to be perfect to impress people.
Let them be impressed by how you deal with your imperfections.

To Be

Life is what you make of it... very cliche, I know.  But it is true. You get what you never wanted and what you are dying to have, you never get.

Sometimes you do get it but "social conformity" ( ;) fancy words..lol)  snatches it away.

1 or maybe 2 things I know is life goes on, take it or leave it!

Grow and let grow

It takes some moments to realise you're no longer who you used to be.
 
Notice the change when it happens. If it be good, then, happily admit it to yourself. If bad, bravely admit it too but work on yourself.

We learn everyday. The knowledge gained are applied at different times and situations in our daily lives- sometimes, consciously or unconsciously.

In any case, if you're privileged not to mess up as often as others do, understand that maybe you're better 'equipped' than them. So, grow and allow others to do same as well.

To Think Truth

To think what you want to think is to think TRUTH, regardless of appearances. Every man has the natural and inherent power to think what he wants to think, but it requires far more effort to do so than it does to think the thoughts which are suggested by appearances. To think according to appearance is easy; to think truth regardless of appearances is laborious, and requires the expenditure of more power than any other work man is called upon to perform.

Little Spark

"It takes a little spark
To keep a fire burning.
Soon it spreads and warms up
everything and everybody around.
That's same with God's love
Once you experience it,
It lights you up
You wanna sing
You wanna dance
And wanna pass it on"

Examine!

Examine, inquire!
Look into the nature of things.
Search out the grounds of your opinions,
the for & against.
Know why you believe,
understand what you believe,
& possess a reason for the faith that is in you

Feast of Miracles

"A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things"
Ecclesiastes 10:19
"He brought us to the banqueting house and his banner over me is love"
Songs of Solomon 2:4
God has called us for a feast. Whenever you come to a feast, you are fed! God cannot be absent in the feast he put together. It is His banquet so He cannot be absent!
Because He is present, everything is possible, including your own thing. Whenever the Lord of the table is at the table, a feast of miracles is the natural outcome.

"He that spared not his Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?" Romans 8:32. Whatever it is that God can resolve can be dissolved at the table. The presence of God meets every need of man. However, there are three major miracles available at the table.

Love Part 1

Love: a strong perfume that diffuses through the blood reins of the heart to the hands that show it. We all have love in our heart. Romans 5:5 but to release it to our world is our responsibility. The RESPONSE of fellows to the love we show, determines whether or not they are going to be our friends and at which cadre of friendship they belong to: acquaintances, friends, close friends, intimate friends, spouse etc. But whether they respond to it or not, they do not become our enemies but need more of it. The love am talking about is the AGAPE LOVE. 1 Corinthians 13: Looking at this chapter of the Bible, we see how God looks at true love...as NOT A FEELING, but a decision, a choice. Not something one 'falls into' but something of a choice--- a decision to be taken. Not driven by what u see or feel;'for to ruled by the senses(flesh)-carnally minded-is DEATH.

Overcoming the silent killers

There is a menace that is ravaging our world today. This menace knows no age limits. It has no sex boundaries. It kills suddenly, silently and without warning! Little wonder it has been described as the silent killer!

What is this Silent Killer?
In medical parlance this group of destroyers is called cardiovascular disorders. What is commonly referred to as heart attack and stroke. This is  major cause of early deaths and reduced life expectancy in our country today. Yet it is clear from scriptures that untimely death is not God's plan for His children. God's plan for us is to walk in sound health all the days of our lives.
"With long life will I satisfy him, and I show him my salvation" Psalm 91:16. However, this plan of Good can only happen when we take responsibility for our health.
