- Always walk on the clouds....love, breathe and find a way to believe again...the storms of life are bound to come but that maybe even in those storms, in the loneliest times of all, you're never really alone. Love is the most powerful thing on earth, I've seen what it can do and it can do amazing things. Sometimes I imagine a world where everyone knows a love that's unconditional, and what a beautiful world it is... there truly is enough love to go around, all you have to do is share it.... What if God's love is like the sun, constant and unchanging; what if u woke up one day and realised NOTHING can take that away....

Forgiveness

Speak the truth! ''And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry...'' - 1 Samuel 15:22-23

I learnt a proverb at school it goes like this: ''Speak the truth and speak it ever, cost it what it will. He who hides the wrong he did, does the wrong thing still.'' It's the same thing when it comes to prayer, it's imperative that we be both open and honest with God in our prayers. For God who reads both the heart and motive will bring all secret things into the light and there is nothing that can be hidden from Him.

Fall on Christ The Rock and be broken; never be afraid to confess to Him your sins and shortcomings. Need help? This is a prayer I prayed when I was in a deep need of forgiveness:

I have sinned and done this great evil in your sight. I am unworthy; I am ungrateful of your mercies, I am unthankful and I've become undone, but Lord you've told me that you can make everything new (2nd Corinthians 5:17) and that your faithful and just and will forgive my sins and cleanse me from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). You said to me though my sins be as scarlet that you can make them as white as snow, and though they be red like crimson, you can make them as wool. If I come to You willing and obedient You will give me to eat of the good of the land. (Isaiah 1: 18-19) Just and true are Your ways, King of Saints, I am unworthy to be called your child but You came into this world and died for the ungodly like me (Romans 5:6) You bleed and died to take away my sins, You set me free ( John 8:36) and delivered me out of the house of bondage ( Exodus 20:2)  to bring me back to You, yet I still leave You and go my own way time and time again ( Isaiah 53:6) But You came to be the good Shepherd, to seek and save that which was lost, to bring me back into your fold ( Luke 19:10) So Father, thank You! Thank You for being who You are! Thank You for being so loving and so merciful to me. Father, thank You for not giving up on me, thank You for making everything new and thank You that my sins are forgiven, now blot them out to be remembered no more. Thank You for giving me a new life an a new start. In Jesus, Your Sons' name I pray, Amen.

“Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” 1 John 4:10 KJV

Happiness

Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances.
Benjamin Franklin

I find this quote to be very true. While taking Spanish classes, I'd found that the Spanish word for ''happy'' can be translated as ''contento'', ironic that the apostle Paul said in his book to the Philippians that he had found the secret to true happiness is contentment.

Paul says ''I have learned to be content no matter what happens to me I know what its like not to have what I need. I also know what its like to have more than I need. I have learned the secret of being content no matter what happens. I am content whether I am well fed or hungry. I am content whether I have more than enough or not enough. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.''-  Philippians 4:11-13

WHAT GOD HATH PROMISED

God hath not promised

Skies always blue.

Flower-strewn pathways

All our lives through;

God hath not promised

Sun without rain

Joy without sorrow,

Peace without pain.

But God hath promised

Strenghth for the day.

Rest for the labour,

Light for the way,

Grace for the trials,

Help from above,

Unfailing sympathy,

Undying love.

Take a Stand.

To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. -Revelation 3:21
  Jesus died to be a propitiation (sacrifice) for our sins ( 1 John 4:10) Jesus now lives to show us the way to eternal life.
In John 8:12 Jesus says: ''I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.'' Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and for those who know the truth the truth will set them free ( John 14:6 & 8:32)
  The problem that many of us face today, is that we only want to be partially surrendered to Christ, we're afraid to give our all in all; to totally surrender though be it the only way to have true peace, inner peace.

Walking on the straight path and choosing the narrow way is a lifelong commitment (with the best benefits), you have to truly want it; being on the fence won't save you. Revelation 3:15-16 says: ''I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.'' BUT Praise God who gives us grace -verse. 20 says ''Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.''
  So what's the answer? ''Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.'' ( Matt. 26:41) But just praying and watching alone is not going to be enough for ''we all like sheep have gone astray every man to his own way'' (Isa. 53:6) The God of all, grace who '' is able to keep you from falling'' (Jude 1:24) has made  for us a faithful promise; he says: ''My grace is sufficient for you: for my strength is made perfect in (your) weakness. Most gladly therefore will I (a sinner) rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.''
  I exort you my friends to listen to the words of the prophet Isaiah who said ''Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.'' (Isaiah 1:18-20)
