What makes you laugh these days? I hope we still have many reasons to, despite our circumstances. I hope you don't take life too seriously, and instead allow the LORD to deal with it. You see the LORD wants us to be happy, that is why HE said, Rejoice! We normally feel sad if we encounter problems in life, it is okay to be sad as long as we do not allow it to control us. Let's keep trusting the LORD, and let laughter overtake our loneliness.

We have the responsibility to share the Gospel to the world. It is continuing what JESUS has started during His ministry here on earth. Sharing to them the free gift of Salvation, by repenting from sin and accepting JESUS to be their Lord and Savior. And to teach them His commandments and baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Not a loved one, a friend, work or great wealth can replace JESUS. Only HE can satisfy, only HE can never fail us. It's time we set our eyes on HIM, focusing on HIS love and grace. For only from HIM will we experience, unconditional love.

Money cannot be evil, but people who regard money as their GOD are evil. The love for money is evil. We are given this blessing in order for us to put it to good use, not to worship it. Let us not make it the basis of our happiness, for when it is gone there goes away our happiness too. Life is uncertain, only GOD is certain. Therefore, let us put our hope in HIM so we can be sure that we will never fail.

"It's time to wait", says the LORD. How do you react if GOD tells you to wait before you get an answer to your prayer? I know, I get different reactions. But be reminded that GOD is not letting us suffer while we wait, but it's more like teaching us lessons to better our character. HE is also increasing our faith as a result of this. And that will deepen our relationship with HIM, making it more solid and established.

Pride separates us from GOD. We cannot walk with GOD if we are prideful. It is not pleasing to HIM, knowing that we are only HIS creation. Thus, we should always acknowledge that apart from GOD, we are nothing.

Have you encountered being around a difficult person? How do you handle it? I suggest you pray for this person. And although it is quite challenging being around them, we should try our best to be patient with them. Understanding where they are coming from will help us manage the situation. Pray for GOD's love to overflow within you, that you may be compassionate towards them. And instead of hating them, we will learn to be more accepting and forgiving of them.

We have to keep in mind to always seek the will of GOD, in order not to walk in the wrong way. And it is not always safe to believe that what we love to do in life is what is best for us. Only GOD knows for sure what is best, and what can harm us. And so we must pray to GOD for guidance and protection. Because if we only follow the lead of JESUS, then we can be sure that we are on the right track.

Crying can be our best way to release the burden inside us. It is our coping mechanism. It is a way of unloading the pains and hurts we feel inside. And the Bible tells us that it is okay to cry to GOD in prayer. We are not discouraged from doing that, and it is clearly not a sign of weakness. Our GOD always listens, and HE always cares.

Pain can signal and warn us that something is going wrong inside us. And although it may seem negative, we can still consider it a blessing because we can make an action right away. Thus, we can avoid permanent damage in the future. GOD allows it to happen in our lives because He has a purpose. And what is required of us, is to trust him completely.
