FACING PROBLEMS

Problems. That's one topic a lot of people cannot stop talking about. Because that's one thing a lot of people face. But you know what? What you consider a problem depends on your outlook, your mentality. What you think is a problem may not be so for another person. Like they say, "One man's meat is another man's poison," or "Different strokes for different folks". But I'd like to define a problem as the difference between where you are and where you want to be, or the difference between what you have and what you need. That thing separating those two points is the problem. How do you combat or overcome it?

THE BEST FRIEND 2

I'd love to tell you about my best friend. You know Him. He's generally known as the Holy Spirit. That's right, He's my best friend. You know all those points I stated about love, companionship and all? He meets them all without defect; He's the PERFECT FRIEND. That's why I made Him my Best Friend.
Think about it. Do you know of anyone that could possibly beat Him? I don't think so.

THE BEST FRIEND 1

Do you have friends? I guess you do. Who are they? Why are they your friends? Did you choose them, or they chose you? Is there any in particular that you're really close to? One whom you could regard as your best friend?
I believe everyone needs a friend, a very close one. Don't you think so? A friend could really help make life easier.

PAY THE PRICE

If you're not ready to let go of something, then you're not ready to receive something else. A lot of us want to accumulate and just keep on accumulating. But we ought to know that there are times we need to make room for bigger things by letting go of some other things we already have. Usually to get something of value, you have to pay a price.

A CHRISTIAN, YET NOT 'IN CHURCH'

Being born again doesn't mean being perfect. It simply means you've been born a second time, this time not physically but spiritually. You've been baptized into Christ by acknowledging and accepting the sacrifice of Jesus and receiving His Spirit into you. You receive a new spirit as the former spirit dies, but your body and mind still remain the same, and if you're not careful, if you don't allow your new spirit from God to gain dominion over the rest of you, its possible you would keep on living like before as if you were never born again.

TRUSTING TO LIVE

Trusting God, having faith in Him is something you have to consciously do everyday and in every situation. Till you come to a point where it becomes a part of you, you just can't help but trust Him. Like the way you breathe in air everyday, without really thinking about it; and you just can't help but breathe, you need it to survive! And if you find yourself in contrary situations like a stuffy nose, or air - tight room, or under water etc, then you consciously strive at breathing, you fight for it, you know you just have to do it, or the end would be fatal. So it is with faith.
