How?

MUST WANT IT                                             
                                                                                
                     Yes, for any grown person to receive help, he needs 
                      to feel the need for help and to choose to be helped
                      for his own transformation and success!


                      Do you want to be triumphant over emotional &
                      personal problems? Choose to learn to be open to 
                      your trustworthy friend of same sex who has 
                      stability in character and emotion.  A friend who 
                      has a sincere desire to see you get over your 
                      problems and live a happy & productive life.             
                      Or you may choose to go to a professional      
                      counselor. You can even opt to get help by your 
                      own decision with God. Pray to Him and ask for  
                                                   His divine solution!

                       God came to seek and to save that which was
                       lost.  He died on that cross! This is His supply 
                       even before any man ask for His aid. However, 
                       unless we recognize that we are lost in Adam's             
                       sin and need a personal Saviour, He won't save.
                       God Is The Father of all creation but every 
                       person who wants a personal relationship needs
                       to see, feel and understand in his mind & 
                       heart that he needs eternal salvation for his eternal 
                                      soul. This needs a personal choice.

                      The only Gospel is: God Jesus Christ came
                      from heaven to earth, became flesh, was 
                      crucified for every human sin, was buried
                      and rose again.  This needs a choice to be
                      personally believed and understood. This is
                      a once in a lifetime! This is God's only solution
                      for spiritual alienation.  


                      The only Saviour is Jesus Christ, a sinless human-
                      God who paid all the sin debt of all men so that 
                      anyone who accepts Him, He saved that person 
                      eternally from separation with God, from hell and 
                      from Satan.


                      Faith in Jesus Christ and His Gospel is just the 
                      beginning of spiritual life.  In order to grow
                      the soul, it needs a day by day choice, to eat
                      or study the word of God properly.  While our
                      physical birth is beyond our choice, our second
                      birth into our spiritual family,  eternal & 
                      permanent is entered into by faith alone, which is   
                      by choice to believe the Gospel.  Spiritual food 
                      needs to be balanced and right in order to grow 
                      spiritually healthy as physical foods need to be 
                      so and nutritious in order to grow the body.   It 
                      needs a daily choice even a moment by moment  
                      choice to believe & apply what is being understood.

                                                    
Romans 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes..."
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 .."make known to you the Gospel by which you received and are saved. That Christ died for our
                           sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried and was raised on the third day..."
Jeremiah 10:21 "For the shepherds have become stupid and have not sought the Lord; therefore they have not prospered,
                                                                                 and all their flock is scattered." (Israel in OT time).
Matthew 4:4 "Man shall not live by bread for the body alone, but by every word of God for his soul."
2 Timothy 2:15 "Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that need not to ashamed, rightly dividing the word
                                                                                                                  of truth."

Crippling Fear                                                       


                                      Fear is both healthy and unhealthy.  Crippling fear is dismal.
                                    
                                      Healthy fear expresses reverence, respect  and  obedience  to 
                                      standard rules and practical application. Acquiring knowledge
                                      with  its  intended benefits to one self,  being  careful  and
                                      following directions are what it does. Freedom within is enjoyed
                                      without suspicions, doubts, worries and all forms of anxieties.

                                      Crippling fear can manifest in many different ways, like:

                                                                                             

                                      > phobia of different sorts
                                      > excuse to slackness and rebellion to some people
                                      > lack of knowledge about the matter being afraid of.
                                      > maybe out of an experience from the past.
                                      > maybe because of the environment that raised him/her 
                                                         up using persuasion by means of fear
                                       > some become very aloof, distant and secluded especially
                                          those fearing for their health and well being.
                                       > uncontrolled imaginations, presumptions & anxieties
                                       > there are many, many more...

                                          The common fears are:
                                         
                                           > the fear of the unknown, fear of death, of darkness, of 
                                            being alone, fear of hunger, calamity and destruction, 
                                                                    and so forth and so on...                


                                         The solution is always fundamental and available:


                                         Jesus Christ is just waiting to be known in the Gospel
                                         and in the Bible. Death is sure to come, so make sure of
                                         your eternal destiny. Faith alone in Christ alone gives
                                         assurance of abode in heaven.  God made the darkness                    
                                         just like He created the light. God Holy Spirit lives inside                     
                                         of the believers soul, there is no time that Trinity God is 
                                         not present. Other fears need to be conquered by studies 
                                         and knowing the specific subject because ignorance play            
                                         a major role in having many fears.  Let us get this up into 
                                         our mind. The yardstick for any belief is the word of God.
                                         
                                         For besetting fears that continually grip a person, you
                                         may need a counselor, a person you trust or a Christian
                                         psychologist and therapist to help you overcome and be               
                                         set free or not be controlled by it.  The help is still a process,
                                         some overcame fast, some slowly and some needs a day by 
                                                        day emotional support and stability.

                                                                                            
                                 2 Timothy 1:7  "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and of a
                                                                                                        sound mind." 
                                                


       :there are a lot of studies, just google the subject about fear, anxiety, phobia but 
       changing the way the mind thinks by believing and appropriating God's word is the      
                    most effective method to be released from unproductive fear...likewise 
                                                                  growing mature.

UGLY ANGER


                                  is a simple annoyance or an emotional rage present in every humankind.


                                > It destroys health, stability of mind & relationships of the enraged person.
                                > It stops the thinking process and leads to acts that are regretful in the end.
                                > It gives unnecessary stress and pressures to the person and people around
                                > It makes the person unreasonable, restless and sleepless.
                                > It gives the person wild, false and evil imaginations.
                                > It gives heaviness to the heart and pouting; erasing all the bright smiles.
                                > some become violent, suicidal and vindictive.

                                 Causes might be:


                                 > a discouragement or frustrations of self or from other source
                                 > did not get what he/she wanted most.
                                 > a way to communicate thus will finally be allowed of his/her desire.
                                 > an illness, feeling of pain and hurts, pms and ms for women
                                 > impatience, hatred or  just a dislike to others
                                 > unresolved problems, mistreatment, prejudice and self-pity
                                 > miscommunication, misunderstanding or had an ear on gossips
                                 > had became a habit or being enraged without any reason

                                                                                                                             
                                 These lists of causes and resulting effects can go on and on and on...


                                  The Righteous Indignation


                                   is an anger to the sinful act with a motive to restore the offender and
                                                                              not be destroyed by it.


                                   example: dealing with a person who has the habit of telling lies.
                                                    Your indignation is directed to his/her lies. You have
                                                    forgiven the person but his/her accountability is to earn
                                                    the lost trust by determining to be truthful again.


                                   Even during anger, let us all be objective to the sin or mistakes we are 
                                      angry at, always thinking of the subject's well being and restoration....
                                  


                                  Jesus Christ Himself was angry and cannot fellowship with sin!

                                                                            


                                                                                     
                               "Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger."- Ephesians 4:26
                                  

Friend of Friends

FRIENDSHIP                                   
                                   > Is Kindred in spirit

                                   > are emotions & attachment that grow in time    

                                        as both know each other intellectually

                                                                

The choice of a friend is very crucial to every individual being. Character is of utmost necessity.

                                     > some of us just want acceptance...

                                         people don't want to be told what's wrong

                                         and how bad the attitude is or his association 

                                    

                                     > some of us just want belongingness.

                                         nevermind the kind of trade or work

                                         where they engaged in,  even if it's

                                         not right.

                                      > some love to hear praise,

                                          recognition, flattery and only those

                                          that the ears want to hear.

                                      > some of us just want some 'shock

                                         absorber and trouble shooters'. People

                                         are remembered as friends if there are

                                         problems or want to ask some favors 

                                         like debts, borrow stuffs etc.

                                     >  but some are truly persuaded

                                         that corrections, rebukes and loving favor

                                         are ingredients in friendship.  Each desire the

                                         best life and right attitude for his/her friend.

                                                              

                         Intimacy  is developed if masks are removed and honesty

                         defines the friendship.  Material possession is not an element

                         in real friendship.  Things in common or being in 'one ship"

                         make friends stronger. Togetherness, communication,

                         understanding, respect, helpfulness, and correct motive

                         make a happier  and true lasting friendship.

               The Lord Himself spoke and taught about choosing our friends and companions.

                   Proverb 13:20 "He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion 

                                                              of fools will suffer harm.

                   Proverb 17:17 "A friend loves at all times and a brother is born for adversity."

                   Proverb 27:6a "Faithful are the wounds of a friend..."

                   James 4:4 "Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward 

                                                                                 God?

                  Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of

                                                  God. (world here is the sinful system)

                  Jesus Christ is the Real Friend Who knows exactly what we need.  We can tell

                  Him all our mind and can pour our feelings anytime.  We can be truly His friend

                                      if we keep His commandments.  He Is The Friend of friends!


I heartily dedicate this blog to my young friends Diana and Medeleine who are celebrating their birthday today.  Their friendship is truly a blessing to me.  I pray to God that she will be a good architect and she becomes a good
                                                                   business manager.  They are both godly!
Remembering also a super mom ofw, ms gha. I pray to God that your 2 daughters will finish their school... hB :D

LOVE

 Understanding Love                                

                                              


                           LOVE EXPLAINED


                                   
                            God Is the Model for 'love'
                            Love is one of His attributes.
                            Agape love respects freedom
                            God deals with the whole mankind with this love.


                            Phileo is brotherly love
                            God wants a personal relationship with every man.
                           Those who have faith in Him.
                            He loves them eternally.

                                                                                      
                            Love is the character of God.
                            Patient, kind, and does not rejoice in unrighteousness.
                            Is gentle, forgiving, able to suffer;
                            Rejoices with the truth and enduring.


                            This character love grows and abound.
                            When the persons know each other for real.
                            God absolutely knows those Who are His.
                            But how can we love God if we don't personally know Him?


                                   
  Most of mankind has is emotional love.
  An attraction waiting for reciprocation, 
  A feeling of endearment and closeness.
  An expression to friends or mates and  loved ones.


                            
 Love never ceases, not just an appreciation.
 Not just on outward appearance,
 It is an attitude of the heart.
  Love is respect that never quits.


                             
                                                                                                    
                          
                             




Love is obedience...

aMAZING gRACE

                         

                                                              

                                 Everything in creation is grace.

                                                   

                                                  

                                 Matchless grace, when the sun rises until its going down.

                                 The moment the night falls until the day appears.

                                  The unseen air, the fresh oxygen to breath;

                                  The daily provisions enjoyed for the body's needs.

                                            Abounding grace, when health sets in 'tis glad time.

                                            There comes the moment for pain, sorrow and tears.

                                            The joys along and the difficulties beside

                                            Grace mixed in experiences abide.

                                                              Abiding grace, in shadow or light,

                                                              The strong  joins the race with pride.

                                                              The weak walks even with stride.

                                                               Sustaining grace upholds  and guide.

                                                                                       Saving grace, free for all men.

                                                                                       God's gift from Heaven eternal.

                                                                                       God The Son left His glory home,

                                                                                       He came to earth and made it known.
