When you've trusted God and walked his way
When you've felt his hand lead you day by day
But your steps now take you another way ...
Start over.

When you've made your plans and they've gone awry
When you've tried your best and there's no more try
When you've failed yourself and you don't know why ...
Start over.

When you've told your friends what you plan to do
When you've trusted them and they didn't come through
And you're all alone and it's up to you ...
Start over.

When you've failed your kids and they're grown and gone
When you've done your best but it's turned out wrong
And now your grandchildren come along ...
Start over.

When you've prayed to God so you'll know his will
When you've prayed and prayed and you don't know still ...
When you want to stop cause you've had your fill ...
Start over.

When you think you're finished and want to quit
When you've bottomed out in life's deepest pit
When you've tried and tried to get out of it ...
Start over.

When the year has been long and successes few
When December comes and you're feeling blue
God gives a January just for you ...
Start over.

Starting over means "Victories Won"
Starting over means "A Race Well Run"
Starting over means "God's Will Done"
Don't just sit there ............ ..

START OVER

One day Satan and Jesus were having a conversation.
Satan went to visit Jesus in the Garden of Eden,
and Satan came all happy and boasting. (Lk 4: 1-12; Job 1: 6-12)




"Yes, Lord, now I have everybody captive,
well nearly everybody down there.
I set put traps, I used the baits of temptation,
I know well what each one of them can't resist.
I nearly caught them all!" (I Pet 5: 8-9; Eph 6: 10-17)






"What are you going to do with them?" Jesus asked.
and He was praying to God the Father.




Satan answered "Oh, I am going to have some fun with them!"




I'll make them divorce after they have married
so the foundation of humanity will never be able to be established
"the family" (Mt 19: 4-6; Mal 2: 16 )




I will make them hate each other and abuse each other,
make them fall into alcohol and drugs without control. (Rom 13: 12-14)




I will teach them to make weapons and bombs,
so they kill each other






"I am really going to have fun!"

"And when you are tired of playing with them, what will you do?"
Jesus asked. And continued praying




"Oh, I will kill them all and their souls will be mine forever"
ìLord by all respect, it¥s their decisionî (I Jn 3: 8-10)




"How much do you want for all of them?" Jesus asked.




"Oh, you can't want these people. They aren't anything good.
Why do you want them if they neither follow you nor love you?
Many hate you! I have seen many of them spitting on you, cursing you and even denying you."
"What's more, they love me a lot" (Mt 24: 10-13)

"You don't want these people!"




"How much?" Jesus asked again




Satan looked at him with a nasty face




"All your tears and all your blood,
all the pain of the entire world, all together" (Is 53: 4-10; I Pet 2: 24 )


Jesus said..."DONE"




"and He paid the price" (II Cor 5: 21 )

just read this from another site....and i found it sad but its worth to read...

"When you're down to nothing, God is up to something."

This is beautiful! Try not to cry.


She jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room She said: "How is my little boy ? Is he going to be all right ? When can I see him ?"

The surgeon said, "I'm sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn't make it."


Sally said, "Why do little children get cancer ? Doesn't God care any more ? Where were you, God, when my son needed you ?"

The surgeon asked, "Would you like some time alone with your son ? One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he's transported to the university."

Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good bye to son. S he ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair. "Would you like a lock of his hair ?" the nurse asked.


Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally.


The mother said, "It was Jimmy's idea to donate his body to the University for Study. He said it might help somebody else. "I said no at first, but Jimmy said, 'Mom, I won't be using it after I die. Maybe it will help some other little boy spend one more day with his Mom." She went on, "My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he could."

Sally walked out of Children's Mercy Hospital for the last time, after spending most of the last six months there. She put the bag with Jimmy's belongings on the seat beside her in the car.


The drive home was difficult. It was even harder to enter the empty house. She carried Jimmy's belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to her son's room.


She started placing the model cars and other personal things back in his room exactly where he had always kept them. She laid down across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep.


It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Laying beside her on the bed was a folded letter. The letter said :

"Dear Mom, I know you're going to miss me; but don't think that I will ever forget you, or stop loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to say "I Love You". I will always love you, Mom, even more with each day. Someday we will see each other again Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be so lonely, that's okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to play with. But, if you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't like the same things us boys do. You'll have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like, you know. Don't be sad thinking about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time to see everything. The angels are so cool. I love to watch them fly. &nb sp;And, you know what? Jesus doesn't look like any of his pictures. Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see GOD ! And guess what, Mom ? I got to sit on God's knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody important. That's when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you good bye and everything. But I already knew that wasn't allowed. Well, you know what Mom ? God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter. I think Gabriel is the name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to you. God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you asked Him 'Where was He when I needed him ?' "God said He was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children. Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see what I've written except you. To everyone els e this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool ? I have to give God His pen back now. He needs it to write some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I'm sure the food will be great.


Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don't hurt anymore. The cancer is all gone. I'm glad because I couldn't stand that pain anymore and God couldn't stand to see me hurt so much, either. That's when He sent The Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I was a Speci al Delivery ! How about that ?


Signed with Love from God, Jesus & Me.

Did Christ paid the price to all people?
Is the death of Christ or Blood of Christ paid all the sins of "all people"?
Even I don't obey or follow Christ will I be included in the payment?

quoted from ghost-rider:
One day Satan and Jesus were having a conversation.
Satan went to visit Jesus in the Garden of Eden,
and Satan came all happy and boasting. (Lk 4: 1-12; Job 1: 6-12)
Thus Luke 4:1-12 and Job 1:6-12 happened in Garden of Eden?
Was it Jesus Christ whom satan had conversation in JOb 1:6-12?


Peace!

[off^tangent]

Who heard these conversations? Humans? How did it come to print in books that were eventually included in the bible?
Ahhh! Divine inspiration, of course! Same inspirations that bring about confusion, havoc, division, fear, etc..., to the world.

Being Contented while Pursuing your Purpose

We are always aiming to achieve more. We believe that once we have reached a certain quota, we would have established the amount that would make us happy enough.

The truth is, if you cannot appreciate what you have in this moment, you won’t be able to appreciate anything else, because even if you have one million in your account, you will need two million to be happy. And on and on and on. Having a sense of direction is really having a goal. The difference is, our actions are more geared towards self expression as opposed to personal acquisition.

It is like being naturally driven as opposed to externally driven. Internally driven action (sense of direction) translates into “I am already perfect, whole and complete, I have plenty and I would like to share.” Externally driven action (goals) translate into “I need something to make me perfect, whole and complete.” This is a fear based action that will have you chasing something for the rest of your life because no matter what do you have or accomplish, there is always something more you need to have.

There is nothing wrong with having goals for they will provide you with what you want. It is just that the things we want may not necessarily be the best things for us. Yet, when we trust our inner guidance, we not only enjoy the things we are doing at every moment but we also seem to experience nonresistance or what some say, effortless accomplishments. This allows us to experience peace as opposed to the stress that comes as a result of trying to make things happen or forcing things to happen which in every case just creates more problems resulting in physical imbalances or diseases.

Contentment does not mean that you will not have that one or two million dollars for that matter. It simply means that you no longer need to chase all that because you can recognize all of it as a part of your divine nature. So instead of trying to make more, you simply experience more. And as a result of your experience, the physical world will provide you with the right amount for whatever is you desire. Because your desires are like suggestions from the Holly Spirit expressing His desires through you.

Learn to differentiate between goals that are internally driven as opposed to goals motivated by external acquisition. The ones that we seek externally are almost always dictated by our ego, our small self, the part of us that is never satisfied and can never be satisfied no matter what we do. Internally driven goals on the other hand, these come from a completely different space. They are usually aligned with a higher purpose.

It is fine to have financial goals as long as we understand that we use those finances to helps us live the live we deserve while at the same times allowing us to fulfill our mission. We don’t experience fulfillment as a result of “having more.” We experience fulfillment by fulfilling our life’s purpose. By expressing our talents and sharing our gifts with the rest of the world.

People aren’t motivated by money. People are motivated by purpose. A purpose beyond materialism, beyond benefits, beyond compensation, beyond any thing this world offers as a tangible good. People want to be a part of something greater than themselves. It doesn’t matter if it’s bettering the country, building dreams in the classroom, inspiring the world with your music, or presenting the gospel to every man, woman, and child. It doesn’t matter how you do it. It doesn’t matter. People want it. We crave it.

Somewhere deep within your being or soul, there is a degree of clarity about doing things that brings you joy. Take the action that brings you joy and let it be your compass. On the other hand, external goals leads to separation from your true source reinforcing the illusion that you have to chase things outside yourself in order to experience happiness and success. Remember the words of Jesus Christ, “Seek you first the kingdom of heaven and his righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.”

Seek that which resonates with your soul. Resonance shows you the path of least resistance because it sets your heart alight with enthusiasm and synchronizes you with the flow of life. The more you choose to pursue that which resonates your soul, the closer you get to superconductive existence. What vibrations you then emit impress themselves upon the environment, aligning the events you experience just as a resonating metal plate aligns the sand particles sprinkled upon it. The beautiful geometry that arises then manifests in the form of synchronicities and serendipitous opportunities.

The one who planted the seed in your awareness is also going to be there to complete it. When God presents you with an idea, trust that God will take care of all the resources necessary to bring that idea into manifestation, as long as you stay on purpose and not on outcome.

Remember that God’s ideas are not for the purpose of getting but for the purpose of serving. And the more you serve, the more you receive. Abundance is not about being able to pay your bills, ultimately, abundance is about having plenty to share.

When you take the present step, the next step shows up for you. This is very important to understand because most people want to have it all figure it out before they move in the direction of their ideas. That is why most give up before they even begin.

If you want to achieve a goal you’ve set, the most crucial part is to decide to manifest it. It doesn’t matter if you feel it’s outside your control to do so. It doesn’t matter if you can’t yet see how you’ll get from here to where you want to be. Most of the resources will come only after you’ve made the decision, not before.

The universe itself, can sense a lack of commitment to a goal. Who wants to waste their time on someone who isn’t committed? You even feel more energized and motivated yourself to contribute to the success of people who are very clearly committed to a goal that resonates with you and which is genuinely for the greatest good of all. This process works the same way within your own mind. If your consciousness is divided against itself, do you think it will commit all its internal resources to your goal? Will your subconscious give you all the energy and creativity it possibly could, or will it hold back?

The universe itself works on the principle of waste not, want not. It is the superconscious mind. When you’ve made a clear, committed decision, it will open the universal floodgates, bringing you all the resources you need, sometimes in seemingly mysterious or impossible ways. Whenever you want to set a new goal for yourself, start by setting it. Take the time to become clear about what you want and then decide it to be so.

We are better off making a decision and correcting later than not making a decision at all. By making a decision we are putting energy into motion. Now, here is the beauty of commitments. When you commit 100% not 90% or 99.9% but 100%, you bring clear energy into your desired result. You will begin to attract into your space all the necessary resources needed to help you attain your dream. A real decision is made when you cut off any possibility except what you’ve committed to do, when you will not look back, when you will not even consider the alternative of giving up.

When the synchronicities begin dropping you clues, you do not always understand how they’ll be part of the path to the goal. But invariably there’s an intelligence at work, and if you trust it, it will work just fine. The resources always show up. No matter what the external circumstances may look like, you are always provided and well taken care off. That is as long as you keep your awareness on God and not the external effects. Understanding how God and the universe works makes you feel contented and secure that you will always be provided, which gives you the confidence you need to pursue your purpose wholeheartedly.

Do what you love and the money will follow. Feel the sense of satisfaction that comes from completing your work. When you allow yourself to feel good about what you do, you resonate the vibrations that attract the best results into your life. Focus on the sense of fulfillment and satisfaction of having done well what you love doing. As long as you are pursuing that which makes you happy, that is all that matters.

thanks to you taga_ipil.........

Actually this is a more common knowledge that need to be re-said over time lest we forget. It is helpful to remember and be guided by, a wake up call so to speak. Thanks again. :mrgreen:
