This human form is temporary.

Enjoy playing the game, even be serious about it if you wish, but do not get so attached to this form that you forget who you truly are - the fruit of God's love.

This life is what you make it

If you have to find another ‘half who makes you whole’, then maybe you aren’t together enough to be in a relationship. Work on yourself and become the best person you can be before bringing your ‘soulmate’ into your life. Our true love will only knock once in a lifetime. So we don’t give up because it is your soulmate. Listen to the beatings of your heart. It is hard to trust others when someone has broken you or your heart. I have to keep telling myself that I have a lot to offer & a lot of love to give, but I will keep smiling & praying while I wait.

True faith flowers from and through doubt.

If you never questioned your beliefs, - you are just a puppet dancing to somebody's strings. If God had wanted your mindless obedience, you would've been created without mind and without free will. But you have both so you can come to God of your own accord. Just look at the lives of saints, - most of them had gone through a dark night of the soul, and that's why their faith was so strong. The path to true faith always goes through doubt. So ask those questions you've always been afraid to ask, and find the answers, and then your faith will become unshakable.

You can find a moment of rest.

Life is full of busyness: work, family, friends, housework, the list goes on and on. Take a few minutes right now to let yourself just rest. Quiet your mind and let the silence relax your body.

You can let yourself be happier.

Happiness is a choice, although often it might seem otherwise. And it starts small. Today do something that makes you feel happy, and tell your friends about it.

The 60th High School Reunion

He was a widower and she a widow. They had known each other for a number of years, having been high school classmates and having attended class reunions in the past, without fail. This 60th anniversary of their class, the widower and the widow made a foursome with two other singles. They had a wonderful evening, their spirits high, with the widower throwing admiring glances across the table . . . and the widow smiling coyly back at him. Finally during one dance, he picked up courage to ask her, "Will you marry me?" After about 6 seconds of careful consideration, she answered, "Yes.... yes I will!" Needless to say, the evening ended on a happy note for the widower. However, the next morning he was troubled. Did she say "Yes!" or did she say "No?" He couldn't remember. Try as he would, he just could not recall. He went over-and-over the conversation of the previous evening, but his mind was blank. He remembered asking the question, but for the life of him could not recall her response. With fear and trepidation, he picked up the phone and called her. First, he explained that he couldn't remember as well as he used to. Then he reviewed the past evening. As he gained a little more courage, he then inquired of her, "When I asked if you would marry me, did you say 'Yes' or did you say 'No?'" "Why you silly man," she replied, "I said 'Yes. Yes I will!' And I meant it with all my heart!" The widower was delighted. He felt his heart skip a beat. Then she continued. "And I'm so glad you called, because I couldn't remember who asked me!"

You need to maintain a balance between your needs and others' needs.

Yes, it's not an easy balance to keep, but try you must. Give too much, drain yourself, and there is nothing left only bitter space. Give too little, become a cork, and you block the flow of God's love through you. Keep on balancing.

Your ability to receive is equally important to your ability to give.

Have you ever brought a special gift, working hard just to get it, only to be refused by the person you were giving it to? That didn't feel right, did it? Our relationships are greatly enhanced when we become not only generous givers, but generous receivers as well. When we know how to accept gladly, wholeheartedly, embracing the gift as an extension of the giver. It takes both giving and receiving for care and generosity to flow unimpeded.

Your life is full of possibilities.

Don’t be discouraged by what seem like dead ends. Every moment in your life carries infinite possibilities, just waiting to be discovered. Like a vine finding its way even through the slightest openings in rock solid walls, so will you.

You've got what it takes.

God won't give you more than you can handle. Although there may have been times you thought the world was caving in on you, you got through it. You are much stronger than you think and with God's power, you are stronger than you can imagine. So charge ahead, you can handle it.

God is waiting for you to make the move.

There is someone reading this who has been ignoring God for a long time. You have done things your own way, ignoring conviction and rationalizing your lifestyle, but God wants you to know that you can't escape His reach. He still sees you. He still loves you. And He is still calling you home. The distance you created does get to you, even though you pretend it doesn't. And some of the frustrations in life have come because you are causing yourself pain. So, today...why not turn to Him. Why not reach out to Him and ask Him to forgive, restore, and draw you close. He is just a prayer away and He is waiting for you to make the move.

It's not always about you

Everyone from family and friends etc go through situations and issues that is part of life. We all make mistakes because it just happens, people need to be aware of family members and friends and how they deal with situations and how they treat people it usually isn’t the message it is how the message is delivered and the tone of voice and the body language as to how issues get resolved without devastating other people’s feelings. I was always told treat and talk to people how you want to be treated to some people that does not mean anything there are people who will always carry grudges no matter what forgiveness and letting go is a lot healthier. Watch your words and actions, watch your thoughts about someone elses mistakes, think before you judge, in the first place be fair, be honest and true. Shallowness creates trouble. Talking about someone at their back is called backbiting. Never indulge in creating issues, murmurings just because of a simple mistake which could be settled. Mature – minded people will never be angry for a CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. They accept correction so don’t judge. Don’t be a trouble maker. We are only responsible for our own actions. It all starts and ends with us.

If you don't like where you are, MOVE

You can always move. If you don’t like where you live. Move. If you don’t like HOW you live. Move. If you don’t move……it’s a choice. If you choose not to move, then there’s something about the position you’ve chosen that you like ( at some level.) Sometimes circumstances arrive when you must make a move. Do not push it aside. Weigh the pros and cons, figure where and why you wish to go to a certain place and do it. It could be the best choice you ever make. Movement doesn’t have to be 100% to change something. Each day, you move just a little bit more than the day. You’re where you need to be, should be, meant to be…in no time at all.

A relationship without trust

A good relationship is with someone who I feel safe and cared for so I can enjoy myself. It is never about how a person looks, how much money they make, or any short term qualities. Once you break that trust, it’s very hard to regain, but if you truly love that person, should you do everything you can to regain it, or just walk away and give up? I care too much just to walk away. Trust is built with time and communication and letting go of what others have done in the past.

Every day you are choosing either to be grateful or to be disappointed.

You can worry to no end about what you don't have. Or you can marvel at God's breathtaking gifts: the morning dew, the sun, the clouds, the trees, the flowers, the birds. Could you create any of these? These miracles of life are always around you, ready to be celebrated, ready to be welcomed into your life.

It's a sin to miss an opportunity to bless and to praise another being.

When you see another doing something wonderful, or simply being breathtaking, come out of your shell and let them know how inspiring they are. Yes, even if it's a total stranger. Do not miss these opportunities to let God's grace flow through you.

You've been talking to God too much, and not listening enough.

Prayer is when you talk to God. Meditation is when you become quiet and listen to God. You've learned how to talk and ask well. Time to learn how to listen and hear, because God has been answering you.

All things are possible through Jesus Christ

There are indeed times when we can actually feel we are off course. This is when the enemy is at his depraved best. The vision of faith discovers unseen possibilities and opportunities. Christ opens doors we didn't even know was there! Granting forgiveness may be hard for some of us. But it is not impossible. All things are possible through Jesus Christ, even forgiveness. When we come together with one mind and on one accord, there is nothing that we cannot accomplish. Let's spread love for on another and give the devil a heart attack.

When the world seems crazy, chaotic, destructive, you can choose to create your own world of peace and love.

You do not have to immerse yourself in the illusion of craziness. You can create your own heaven on earth by being kind, surrounding yourself with good people, and nurturing the earth.

The pain will not go away by getting angry or bitter

If you have problems in your life, conquer the devil and don’t let him run your life. You have to go forward to have to make yourself happy. If you are having trouble with anger and bitterness, give yourself a little more time. Prayer always helps.

What's done is done. What's gone is gone

You just have to keep moving forward no matter how hard it is. Even though sometimes you’re mucking through thick mud with no shoes, always move forward. Times change. If you don’t, you get left behind. Learn from the past even if it hurts. But don’t live there, it’s like getting in your car and looking in the rear view mirror and driving forward. People can’t forget your mistakes, how can we forget our own. It is all because we have never been forgiven and we have never forgiven ourselves. Make peace with your past so it won’t disturb your present.

The best way to be happy

You learn to put your self first and be happy with your self in your life today. You are in complete control of your life. Most peoples problems are self made. If you don’t like your life, change it.

Today is a good day to reconnect with an old friend.

Real friends are a rare treasure. Don't let daily buzz obscure what is really important, - your relationships with people you care about.

You are not to shut love out of your life by saying it is impossible to find and keep.

The quickest way to find love is to give love. If you want it too badly, you will not find it. The most secure way to keep love is to give it space and care to grow. If you hold it too tightly, you will lose it.

Your seriousness feeds your ego, and keeps you away from God.

Seriousness makes you dull and dry. It feeds your sense of self-importance, that becomes a mountain between you and God. Drop your seriousness, and open the path to God.

You don't have to be serious to be spiritual.

Laughter is good! Levity is good! When you allow yourself to be joyful, that joy radiates to all those around you. God honors you and your laughter.

To love is to be vulnerable.

Love is the opening of the heart, the welcoming of your beloved. Loving is not secure, authentic loving is risky. Security lies behind the walls of a closed heart. You either invite the union by opening in love, or you secure the isolation by closing down.

You can't rid the world of sorrow, but you can choose to live in joy.

Sorrow is with us not because we are bad at stopping it, but simply because it's part of being human. What matters is not whether good or bad things happen - both will, but your relationship to them. Just think back over the last 24 hours, - what had you taken hard that you could have taken lightly?

The best tools to get out of difficult situations

Life gives you many struggles to make us better and not bitter. Always try to trace what lesson you learned after overcoming some past struggles. This will give you self confidence and strength to face new struggles. Life will always throw new challenges and without working over it, nothing is going to change. Be fearless, courageous, strong and have inner belief that you will make it to the end.

Encouragement is important.

Everybody needs to be encouraged, including you. Keep doing the best you can, you've got what it takes and you are going to make it. Remember to encourage others to pursue their own dreams. Build each other up, encouragement is important.

The sun and the stars are reminders of God’s eternal presence, as are the ancient mountains and the deep ocean.

Look upon the stars, or sit atop a mountain, or swim in the sea to realize that the world is very big indeed and your problems, though they may seem big, are very tiny in the overall scheme of things. See things from this larger perspective.

Be willing to go alone sometimes

If we can learn to depend on ourselves and be alone, then we can learn to be with others and respect our individuality. When we are capable, yet rely on others to support us, then we take others for granted. When we are alone we are forced to face ourselves and for many people we don’t like what we see. If this is the case, then we must have the responsibility to change, rather than expect someone else to deal with it. The moment we start working on ourselves is the moment we no longer need someone else and also the very moment we become attractive to others. We must bring value to ourselves before we can bring value to others. Once we do, we will no longer be alone. People come and go. It’s up to you , who you choose to ” finish ” with . life is not a sprint , it’s a marathon , up hill and down, it’s how you deal with life’s ups and downs that sets you apart.
