Do You Have A Healthy Heart?

June 5, 2014

It’s not only the type of food that you eat or lack of exercise that can make your heart unhealthy.

Your heart can be unhealthy, because it abhors or houses hate in it. If you love God, then you should love others as well. If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen (1 John 4:20).

I agree that people, including your own families, friends, or spouse can hurt and hate you in the worst way, but you do not have to return the compliment. You can show them the love of Christ, so that they know there is something different about you. Showing them love does not mean that you have to allow people to walk all over you, or that you have to be in a relationship of any sort with them, if that relationship is negative and toxic. However, you can still maintain peace and love when you see or talk to them.

Hate in one’s heart can cause a lot of different tension and stress. Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses (Proverbs 10:12). On the other hand, love makes your heart more healthier. Anyone who does not love, does not know God, because God is love (1 John 4:8).

By and large, try to maintain a healthy heart, by eliminating any hate that may be in there; because hate causes too much hurt in one’s heart.

Stop Crying Over Burnt Bridges!

Filed under: Inspirational — 4 Comments

May 17, 2014

There is a danger in starting a fire; you will never know how many bridges you will burn in the process. However, sometimes it isn’t a bad thing, as it may prevent you from going back to a place, where you should never have been at, to begin with.

Friends come and go, but real friends stay; chances are, if someone is in the past, that person deserves to stay there. You cry over friends you will never have back, people you once loved and bridges that have been burnt. Notwithstanding, there is a reason why these bridges have been burnt in the first place. The past is in the past. Therefore, you only have so much room in your life, so begin to save it for people who deserve it.

Proverbs 17:17 ( NIV)
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity

“Choose your friends carefully.”

Words of Wisdom

June 7, 2013

1] Prayer is not a “spare wheel” that you pull out when in trouble, but it is a “steering wheel” that directs the right path throughout life.

2] So, why is a car’s windshield so large and the rear view mirror so small? This is so, because our past is not as important as our future. So, look ahead and move on.

3]Friendship is like a book. It takes years to write, but only a few seconds to burn.

4] All things in life are temporary. If going well, enjoy it, it will not last forever. If going wrong, don’t worry, it can’t last long either.

5]Old friends are Gold! New friends are Diamonds! If you get a Diamond, don’t forget the Gold! Because to hold a Diamond, you always need a base of Gold!

6] Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, God smiles from above and says, “Relax, sweetheart, it’s just a bend, not the end!

7] When God solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities; when God doesn’t solve your problems, HE has faith in your abilities.

8] A blind person asked St. Anthony: “Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?” He replied: “Yes, losing your vision!”

9] When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them; and sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you.

10] Worrying does not take away tomorrow’s troubles, it takes away today’s peace.
