 I want a new Ferrari, new boat, and I want a new Iphone 7, because I have last years model. We must stop treating God as if He was a genie in a bottle. God never says He will provide for your wants, but He makes it clear that He will provide for the needs of His children. God knows what we need. Sometimes we think we need something, but in actuality we really don’t need it. God is faithful. Throughout Scripture we see the word ask. God is saying ask me I will provide for you. This whole time you have been distracted by your problems, but you haven’t come to me in prayer. Talk to me! I want you to trust me. People will go to the bank and ask for a loan, but won’t go to God to provide for their needs. Many people will have compassion for someone who is in need. How much more will God help and have compassion for those in the body of Christ. Even if you’re not going through trials, there is nothing wrong with asking for blessings. Sometimes we think I can’t ask because that is

Ladies this one is not just for you alone(Smiles) so relax a bit. "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.”  As a blogger, I intend to provide a different viewpoint "The way I see it!" From every angle. We have all heard the sayings, "walking a mile in someone else's shoes" or "You can't understand a person until you have walked a mile in their shoes," “Don’t judge someone until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes” and you really cannot.  You still see things from your own perspective.   It’s a reminder that we can NEVER know what it’s like to be that person.  When you hear, see or experience other people's lives our mind reacts, to try to put ourselves in their shoes and consider how we would deal with it.  It’s impossible, for us to actually do so from their true perspective. We would hear, see, and experience things differently and ou

In the process, a supreme truth is revealed unveiling the 'rights' and 'wrongs' of societal ideology. <em><strong>Talking to strangers.....</strong></em> Parents always tell their children to not talk to strangers. But, Is this something they should be telling them? or do the parents have to be less ambiguous? I know there are risks involved especially when they speak to the wrong people. "Are the dangers more than the advantages? I don't know, just asking!Also goes into my life experiences... My parents always tol

>Just Breathe... That was all Sam could do. <em>Breathe. As she lay sprawled on her </em>bed, her body feeling heavy and the suffocating island humidity surrounding her, the only thing she could do was <em>Breathe</em> and try to regain her composure. She wanted to think happy thoughts, but every time she tried, any positive images were invaded by a sinister onslaught of more menacing memories that made her heart thump painfully against her chest. So instead, she focused on her breathing. Suddenly, a dull thump coming from near her dorm room door startled her, inciting a frightened gasp from her and more painful heart thumping. <em>Could it be them? Was my husband sold out? God this can't be happening! The soldiers are supposed to be on watch! Isn't the barracks safe anymore? I thought there are no more insurgencies from the known terrorist group?  Frightened but resolute, Sam sprung up from her bed, walked across her small room and opened the

We need to  spend time looking for the many blessings God has put in our lives. We <strong><em>will </em></strong>find them, and the day we do will mark the first day in our lives that we are truly happy.  This however, does lead to an interesting question: If the "greener grass" mentality only leads us to discontentment and sin, and if this spirit of covetousness is at the root of all ev il, then why do we always seek the "greener grass" that we don't have? The answer is simple: It is

People with the most sensitive heart put on a monstrous face to the world outside, they hide their feelings and keep all their deep secrets and stories within. They act like they don't care, they deny their emotions and live secretly. Hiding the feelings that grow stronger  the time that we are apart feels even longer  the clock ticks and the cold breeze flows  as for me I know where my heart glows  covering the smile you cause me to make  it is this nervousness that I must break  these hidden feelings I must hide no more  as I walk up the path that leads to your door  ringing the bell hearing the chime  I'm not going to let you go this time  building the courage admitting how I feel  is this a dream or is this actually real  my heart is pounding, beating out of my chest  because you my love is life's big test... Am drowning in your love......
