Sin comes in all shapes and forms. But they all come out deceiving. For they may look attractive and appealing, only to find out how devastating it is in our lives. We are sinful in nature because we have inherited the sin of our ancestors. But because of the love of GOD for us, HE sent his Son JESUS to die on the cross for the redemption of our sins. Death should be our penalty, but we are saved by the blood of JESUS. BY HIS grace, we can overcome sin. We come out victorious, and death no longer has power over us. If sin creates the gap, jESUS bridges the gap. After we accept JESUS, we are now united with GOD.

Forgiveness is not a sign of weakness. But it is a sign of our spiritual growth. It speaks of how GOD's grace, love and mercy overflows in us, for we too have been forgiven of our sins. It is freeing yourself from being caught in bondage and enslavement of sin. We must learn to let go of all the hurts and pains, in order to live a peaceful life with CHRIST.

It is obvious, we choose love and not hate. We resist any kind of negativity. We want to free ourselves from the negatives. As we walk in CHRIST; we develop in ourselves, HIS kind of love. A love that is selfless, forgiving and faithful. It is for HIS great love for us, that we have been redeemed from the penalty of death. That kind of love is never comparable to anyone's. A beautiful kind of love, a love only from JESUS CHRIST. Thus, we also try to share this love with others and not hate.

We are all beautiful. As we pursue our walk in CHRIST, our transformation is becoming more real and evident. We experience a beautiful change in us taking place within. We become more Christlike. That beauty exudes and standout, and is incomparable. Our conviction with the help of the HOLY SPIRIT, is changing us and transforming us into a new creation.

Please stop talking, and take time to listen. It is not healthy if we do the talking all the time, we might miss GOD giving us instructions. We should have the heart to listen to others in need too, it is one way of showing them we respect and care for them. As we listen to them, in a way we share GOD's love to them. By being a good listener, we also gain more knowledge and wisdom. That is why, we allow ourselves to be quiet in a conversation and get the opportunity of hearing the opinion and the ideas the other person is sharing with you.

Ask the LORD in prayer in choosing the right partner for you. He may not be perfect but he will surely be the right fit for you. Being honest at the start of your relationship will help you to be more accepting and forgiving of each other. And putting JESUS at the center of your relationship will help you both in managing the challenges of your marriage. The LORD will always guide you, and will always help you deal with those changes you discover from your partner. Be willing to make some adjustments, and acknowledge that you have your own flaws too.

Love your pets just like how you love your family. They are GOD's creations, and they were created for a purpose. They can give you unconditional love, and they can add more years for you to live. They can also take away stress and tiredness. Truly, they are indeed GOD's gift to us. Love them and they will love you back a million times. Let us be kind to them. Let's be grateful for all GOD's creations.

As GOD's children, He disciplines us because he loves us dearly. Not wanting us to get into trouble and conflicts. He is showing HIS great love and concern for all of us, by trying to discipline us when we have done something wrong. Or wanting to give us a warning as preventive measures, not wanting us to be misled and misguided. It is not condemnation, but it is discipline accompanied by love and mercy. It is training for the benefit our spiritual growth.

GOD created families; to love, unite and live in harmony. But what if the relationship is broken? We seek GOD for help and for healing. We do not give up on family just like that, but we keep on praying and hoping that time will heal all wounds. Only the LORD can mend those broken pieces in our relationship, but we must entrust it fully to HIM. And to never doubt GOD's miracles.

Love is not based on attraction, affection and adoration, rather it is a choice and a decision. It is more deep and meaningful, so it stays. GOD has shown us a good example, for HE loved us even when we were still sinners. No condition and no reservation. May we be like JESUS, who gave us sacrificial love, not self serving and no personal gain. Only an honest and pure love. An act of will; a decision.
