Love Means Sacrifice

All of us know what love is and all of us know how love move in mysterious ways. Love is an instrument made by God to make his people be one. love is one of the christian principle that we should have to follow even though you are on the other sides of the globe you should have this principle. We or you should have to love your mother, your father, and even your neighbor. You also have to love the poor not only the rich person.

It is true that love means to sacrifice, because in order for you to love one person you first have to sacrifice for him. You have to help him when he/she is down and need a friend that could lean on her/his problem. You have to help him no matter what happen. You can show your love through others by your action or in your word.

You May Be Forsaken By Men But You Never Be Forsaken By God

The sting of the present economy of this current world that carries heartaches and disappointment in days to days existence offers us heavy thoughts on despondency that God has forsaken us.

In truth and in fact, God has not forsaken us nor will he ever forsake us. Once he said: "if mother who carries the baby in her womb for nine months will never learn to forget her child, so do I will never forget you. I had purchased you so dearly and paid for you, with a high price of my most precious blood."

Fellow believers in christ, if the present happenings are a burden to our life, let us lift up our eyes towards heaven and sigh for the heavenly rewards that await those who bear all things in this world patiently and courageously till the end. After all God does not ask us, if we have coped with the latest model in dresses, hairdoes, in the latest attire. When we die, God will only ask one thing, that is: " How much we have love God through our fellowmen." This is the foremost and the most. God will never ask for anything else.

So let us not be preoccupied with other matters, so that we will not have those discouraging thoughts that God has forsaken us. God loves us, so much that he will never abandon us.

Blessed are They Who Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness for They Shall Be Satisfied

If we make holiness our goal, we will attain happiness. If we make happiness our goal, we will search a lifetime and never find it.This is implied in Jesus' words in the sermon on the mount. He said that the way to blessedness is through poverty of spirit, purity of heart, and a longing for righteousness.

Some people think happiness can be achieved by getting rid of restrictions. They reasonthis way: If rules and regulations are eliminated, the frustration of having to decided between right and wrong is removed, thereby, avoiding separation in human relationship. Some moral men say: it is more important to enjoy life and to be happy than to do righteous things. Being right and suffering is no fun. When this line of though is applied to absolute standards of morality, man is in deep trouble. He denies the reality of sin in his heart as the source of all his woes. He forgets that all lasting joys is rooted in separation - separation from evil unto God.

No one who hungers and thirst after righteousness will be disappointed, even thoguh he may encounter pain, misunderstandin, and loneliness. Holiness is the only pathb to true and enduring happiness.

Too Much Materialism Draws Us Away Form God

This always a very sad downfall of many persons who claim to be spiritually guided and yet remain mediocre. It is because of their too much craving for material things, for honors, glories, praises and pleasures of this world; that may come and go, and disappear form this world without leaving a shadow.

Many persons go to church, appearing devotedly pious, their lips speak of God and proclaim the word of God, and yet thee hearts are far, far away from God. Himself because they are the persons classified as hypocrites and full of pretentions. They speak of justice, goodness, compassion, and forgiveness; but, how are they in their helpers at home and to the people who are subordinate to them? Are they fair, just, full of pity and compassion? Perhaps, we start shaking our heads, realizing tghath ample gap between the principle spoken of and the practice being done.

Let us not be hypocrites! Let us be our selves! We remain what we are before God. Let us humble ourselves before the mighty throne of God and ask forgiveness for our enumerable misdeeds.
