lessons in life

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

Don’t let someone become a priority in your life,

When you are just an option in their life…

Relationships work best when they are balanced.

When you keep saying you are busy,

Then you are never free

When you keep saying you have no time,

Then you will never have time

When you keep saying that you will do it tomorrow,

Then your tomorrow will never come.

When we wake up in the morning, we have two simple choices

Go back to sleep and dream, or wake up and chase those dreams.

Choice is yours…

We make them cry who care for us,

We cry for those who never care for us

And we care for those who will never cry for us,

This is the truth of life, it is strange but true

Once you realize this, it is never too late to change

Don’t make promise when you are in joy

Don’t reply when you are sad

Don’t take decision when you are angry

Think twice. Act wise.

Time is like a river

You cannot touch the same water twice,

Because the flow that has passed will never pass again

Enjoy every moment of life…

Don’t rush things

Don’t forget to live

Appreciate your current situation and enjoy each day

God knows what he is doing.

Isn’t that great?

Help someone everyday

Thursday, September 6th, 2007

How can we be of help? Do we help just for the sake of helping? Open your eyes, look around you. Don’t you feel the pain seeing children past midnight that has the sidewalk corner as their bedroom?

Do you help with the right motivation or you extend help because somebody else is watching? Do you extend your arms to the needy? Are you reluctant to give a hug to a friend who just needs it?

How about if you need to help someone in terms of money and you don’t have any? Isn’t it funny? Am sure your heart aches. You are very much willing to be of help but then you are also broke. See how circumstances work sometimes. But still, there is a way to help that someone – PRAY if you cannot do anything.

When we fall into sin –

Thursday, September 6th, 2007

When we fall into sin, we get discouraged. We don’t know what to do. We feel so little that we want to just hide ourselves from people. But does this help? Would this make our sin “less”? If we keep our sin within us, nothing will happen. But if we understand God’s great love for us – it will bring us back to Him. God’s love exceeds our sin no matter how big it is. But it doesn’t mean that God’s love give us the “permit” to commit sin. God’s love should always remind us that in this world, we only have Him to take care of us. It is only through Him that our needs are met. He is the only one who can give us happiness and contentment. Why “envy sin” then? Isn’t God’s love enough?

God’s grace teaches us how to say no to worldly temptations. We are not under God’s grace if we keep on sinning, if we are living a Christian life by mere determination. Say no to sin, do things because you love God. Repentance is a must to enter the kingdom of God. It is a change of heart after thinking, after understanding your sin. There is no repentance without grace. Repentance is impossible without grace. Do you know that there are certain graces God gave you that you don’t deserve? Aren’t you grateful?

Worldly sorrow brings death. Worldly sorrow is when you are being selfish, you focus on yourself. Godly sorrow is when you are zealous to repent.

Confess your sins quickly to God. Plan your personal devotional with God. Sing praises to Him. Listen to His word. Talk to Him. Get somebody involve in your life. And everything else will follow..
