It is in fact a privileged to give than to receive. For we not only get the chance to show GOD's love to others, but we also get to experience a connection to them. Sharing GOD's blessings to those who are in need, is expected from us. The blessings we received must be passed on to those who are lacking. It is not meant for us to enjoy ourselves alone. It also benefits us more than we can ever imagine, that is why let us all have the heart to give and share. For what we get from it, is something that we can always enjoy for free.

As we live in this never ending changing world, we are enticed to desire many things in life. And sadly, some of those are leading to our self-destruction. But thank GOD, for if we are closer to HIM we develop the character of godly contentment. We improve into having a Christ-like character. And this is all by HIS grace and mercy upon us HIS children.

We can never conceal the truth, no matter how it hurts. Truth will always come out. And if it does, it is always for the good of all. It is best not to cover up or simply hide it because the more we try to, the bigger the damage it gets. We stick to the truth for GOD appreciates those who does, and hate those who spread lies. So even if it hurts, accepting it will lessen the pain in the long run.

GOD always responds on time, for He knows when it is best to. We should never doubt His timing. We should always remain prayerful and trustful to Him. Believing that it is for our own best interest that He is always after. When He says, "wait", it doesn't mean His late. But He's only giving us time to be patient and to be steadfast. And when He says "no", it definitely means that what we ask of Him is not going to be good for us at all.

We can be selfish most of the time, and often neglectful of others. But this is not the kind of example, JESUS has shown us. HE demonstrated selflessness, and choose to follow the will of HIS Father even if it means HIS own death. As we hear today's podcast may we realized about giving importance to loving GOD above all and others as well.

Parents are God's gift to children. They are to guide them and teach them the core values of life. And the best way to be a good parent is to make God your partner, and raise your children with His teachings. The foundation should be according to God's Words.

Wanting more than what we need is a pure sign of greed. And we may be guilty of being one, for such an attitude can be unnoticeable. But the Holy Spirit in us will help us to see and discern it, that way we can ask forgiveness to GOD. And by our change of heart, we will be released from that slavery of sin. And we will forever enjoy GOD's peace and faithfulness.

May we always remember the reason for our existence here on earth. And that is seeking GOD's purpose. For by doing so, we will not only enjoy the many blessings HE has for us but we will be able to live an accomplished life. A life full of meaning and direction. A life worth living for. Only by obeying GOD, and walking in the path where HE is leading us can we be so sure that we will never go wrong.

May we be reminded of HIS incomparable and unconditional love for us. And that we will forever be grateful for HIS ultimate sacrifice. As we reciprocate that love, we in turn worship and honor HIM and put HIM first above all else.

We are blessed to be given special friends that not only love us for who we are but supports us in whatever we do. They are GOD's gift to us.
