Glory in tribulation

And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience Romans 5:3

In this life this principle of glorying in tribulations is widely accepted and proven but just not in bible terms. It is the exact thing that was translated to "no pain no gain", " pain of birth ", " taking pains ", all these secular principles run on the truth that you must go to pains enduring it if you must become better but the full truth of the principle is stated in the above passage by Paul. The whole truth is that us enduring the pain works patience (I.e. makes us better and brings us a reward)

As we go about our daily endeavors let us enjoy the rigours because they are pains that will bring about patience in us and make us better in the long run
God bless you

Finding Balance in Pursuing Your Dreams

 In the journey of pursuing our dreams, it is crucial to find a sense of balance. As we strive to become what our hearts desire, and as we work towards perfection, it is important to maintain balance in our relationships. Sometimes, even those who mean well may not fully comprehend the depth and significance of our dreams. However, it is vital to remember that their lack of understanding does not indicate a lack of care or support. Instead of attacking or shutting them out, we should approach these situations with empathy and understanding.

Our dreams, often deeply personal and unique to us, may not easily translate into words or concepts that can be fully comprehended by others. This does not diminish the value of our dreams or the significance they hold in our lives. Instead, it highlights the importance of finding a sense of balance and patience as w

Studying Rightly

Hello guys, 2Timothy 2:15 "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." Did you know that for years I have read this chapter and only related it to spiritual things?  I took it to mean that by studying God's word and the life of heroes of faith I do prove my love for God, and I was right.  It's just that this passage meant a lot more than just studying Spiritual stuff, the truth is that it applies to every part of our lives, spiritual, intellectual, academic, marital, psychological, and even physical aspects.  Putting it simply if people see that you have more knowledge or wisdom on all subject matters they respect you and admire you for it and they are already respecting and admiring God your maker indirectly.  They will try to find the source of your unique depth of knowledge, wisdom, charisma or whatever it is they find attractive about you at that point you can easily tell them it's all

I’d Rather Have Jesus

A little girl had been told many times by a childless couple that if she’d come live with them, they’d give her everything she wanted – a pony and cart, toys, a piano, and the likes of it. One day when the couple had been urgent, her father said “Don’t you think you had better go with them?” the little girl looked at him in alarm and cried “Why Daddy, don’t you want me?” “I do” he replied, “but I can’t give you very much and they will give you everything nice.” “But I wouldn’t have you!” she replied as she snuggled up to him. Ask yourself this question “If I was the little girl would I value my Lord above all the nice things the world can offer?” or would I justify my reasons for following the world. Even her father would have understood if she left. Even her father did not realize how much he meant to her; he didn’t realize that being with him was more valuable to her than having all the nice things “but I can’t give you very much he had said” he did not realize the value of fel
