WORDS OF HOPE

Some people trust in dogs to keep them safe. Others trust in heavy doors, whiles others believe in weapons. What do you trust in when it comes to your safety? Bullet proof vests, cars, windows, etc. All these are trusted in times of safety. The last plague of God took the lives of all firstborns in Egypt, the Israelites were safe as long as the blood of a lamb was in front of their doors. They placed their trust in the directions given to them. If a blood of a mere lamb could prevent the spirit of death from entering, what then; can't the blood of Jesus do? You could ask him to mark you with it. 

  Matthew 13: 44. "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Is it worth it to make such a sacrifice? The man sold all he had for the treasure because  of it's value. Obviously the treasure is more valuable than all he has. The kingdom of  God is more valuable than anything but if you ain't ready to make such a sacrifice, then you don't know the true value of being a child of God.

Music is a whole world on it's own. Everyone has that perfect  song for every moment, in times of sadness, pain, fear, anger, happiness or confusion.  I love my music, the words and rhythm soothes me and during those moments; nothing else matters. Saul was one man who's torture could be cured with music played with the harp. Each time Samuel played it for him, he felt relieved. I don't know the type of music you like but I recommend inspirational songs for you; it's a therapy. That's if you listen to the right song.

Do you have  that friend that would comfort you when you cry. Some friends would also cry, while others would sit by and watch you cry. These friends know you better so they know when to comfort you and when not to. I know of one man, whose friends sat by him for seven days and seven nights without talking to him, because they knew that their friend needed just their presence.  Job's friends didn't forsake him, they were present to give him the comfort he needed but in the end they gave him a bad advice. Do true friends still exist? I believe they do but the question is, what advice are they giving you?

Parents work hard because they want to amass properties for their children. Nobody wishes to die without living a good life, we all wish to be productive in life. Some parents live their kids with money, houses, works, cars, etc. Other parents also live such exemplary lives worth emulating. After Christ resurrected and ascended into heaven, he promised us something, He said that the Holy Spirit would come and guide us. God knows the essence of inheritance so he gave us a priceless gift; the Holy Spirit and Christ also lived an exemplary life worth emulating. These are inheritances which we are all entitled to. What would your children inherit from you?

Water takes the shape of it's container. Water wanders in any path that it creates or is created for it. Without something to hold water, it's just a flowing liquid. Nobody would know what's in your heart and it may not matter. Just like water, your outer body should be shaped by  what's inside your heart. We always say that God looks at the heart but how about the weak people who need others to look up to? If you are pure in heart, it should reflect on the outside; you may be the only Bible someone is reading. 

Are you the first to see people's faults? I know that you aren't proud of how some people are living their lives but, do you know what is going on in their lives? You certainly wouldn't know how tight a person's shoe is till you try it on. Maybe your life is perfect but that doesn't give you the ticket to be judgemental. Sometimes it's difficult to over look the mistakes of others but how would you feel if you are judged for every little thing you do? As much as you won't enjoy being judged all the time, don't judge others.
