4 BLESSED LOOKS OF GOD

Look back and thank GOD.
Look forward and trust GOD.
Look around and serve GOD.
Look within and find GOD!

I asked GOD, “How do I get the best out of life?”

This is GOD’s answer:

“Face your past without regrets.
Handle your present with confidence.
And prepare for the future without fear!”

Without GOD, our week is:
Mournday, Tearsday, Wasteday, Thirstday, Fightday, Shatterday and Sinday.
So, allow Him to be with you every day!

Life is short, so
Forgive quickly.
Believe slowly.
Love truly.
Laugh uncontrollably.
Never regret anything that makes you happy.
And have a wonderful journey!

JESUS IS WATCHING YOU

A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables. He picked up a CD player to place in his sack, when a strange, disembodied voice echoed from the dark saying, "Jesus is watching you."

He nearly jumped out of his kin, clicked his flashlight off, and froze.

When he heard nothing more after a while, he shook his head and continued. Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard, “Jesus is watching you."

Freaked out, he shined his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice. Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot.

"Did you say that?" he hissed at the parrot.

"Yep," the parrot confessed, and then squawked, "I'm just trying to warn you that he's watching you."

The burglar relaxed. "Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?"

"Moses," replied the bird.

"Moses?" the burglar laughed. "What kind of people would name a bird Moses?"

Moses replied, "The kind of people that would name a Rottweiler Jesus."

May be you have a good laugh after reading this joke, but brothers and sisters of Christ,

JESUS is watching you

You see
“Things you are supposed not to do, you do.” That’s sin!
“Things you are supposed to do, you don’t do.” That’s unrighteous!

Knowing that
JESUS is watching you
So

Things you are supposed not to do, you don’t do. “Thou shall not sin.”
Things you are supposed to do, you do. “Thou shall be righteous.”

Always remember that
JESUS is watching you
All the times

Don’t Quit! (The Bamboo Story)

The story as it was told to me:

One day I decided to quit.
I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality.
I wanted to quit my life.
I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.

"God", I said.
"Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"

His answer surprised me!

"Look around", He said.
"Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"

"Yes", I replied.

"When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo." He said.

"In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit. In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would not quit." He said.

"Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant... But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle." He said to me.

"Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots?"

"I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you."

"Don't compare yourself to others." He said.
"The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern. Yet they both make the forest beautiful."

"Your time will come", God said to me. "You will rise high"

"How high should I rise?" I asked.

"How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked in return.

"As high as it can?" I questioned

"Yes." He said, "Give me glory by rising as high as you can."

I left the forest and bring back this story.

I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you.
He will never give up on you.
Never regret a day in your life.

Good days give you happiness.
Bad days give you experiences.
Both are essential to life.

"I am too blessed to be stressed!"

The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor.

The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything.

Love and peace be with you forever, Amen.
