State Of Mind With Jb

The world can reject you and sometimes the world won't recognize you but the Lord will never call you an outcast in his book. An outcast is a person who has been rejected by their society, family, or at a school. As I have said before the world is very judgemental and the world is not afraid to take the duties of the Lord of judging others, this is why the world is not afraid to make you feel like a outcast. Sometimes people are made to feel like outcasts when they lose one or both of their parents. Instead of your relative take care of you it is them you that fuels the world to see you as an outcast as if you chose to lose one or both of your parents. The relatives come to the funeral and say we will take of the children, but they become difficult for you as their make your life a living hell. Sometimes when you are different from the rest of the people the world will sometimes reject to accept and the world will make feel alone. The book of Romans chapter 8 verses 31-39 comforts the people who feel like a outcast. The book says, "31. In view of all this, what we say? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32. Certainly not God, who did not even keep back his own Son, but offered him for us all! He gave us his Son - will he not also freely give us all things? 33. Who will accuse God's chosen people? God himself declares them not guilty! 34. Who, then, will condemn them? Not Christ Jesus, who died, or rather, who was raised of life and is at the right side of God, pleading with him for us! 35. Who, then, can separate us from the love of Christ? Can trouble do it, or hardships or persecution or hunger or poverty or danger or death? 36. As the scripture says, "For your sake we are in danger of death at all times; we are treated like sheep that are going to be slaughtered." 37. No, in all these things we have complete victory through him who loved us! 38. For I am certain that nothing can separate us from his love: neither death nor life, neither angels nor other heavenly rulers or powers, neither the present nor the future, 39. neither the world above nor the world below - there is nothing in creation that will ever be able to separate us from the love of God which is ours through Christ Jesus our Lord."

It is easy to find a beautiful or handsome person to love but it is very difficult to find a person who has a beautiful heart and willing to live in a hard life with you. There are a lot beautiful ladies and handsome guys out there but are only a few in hundred who have a beautiful heart. Why a beautiful heart because love is to understand that when you are in love with someone it is like that person has given you their heart for to take of it and always know that when you do something it will always affect the other person because being in means that you are connected to the person who are in love with. So it becomes a perfect picture when you find a person who has a beautiful heart because not everyone has a beautiful heart in this world when it comes to love. A person who has a beautiful heart will always have you in their mind, the person will always want make sure that everything is going well in your life each day. The fun thing is that most of the time people with beautiful hearts are single, that is we find people crying with their relationships saying that love is a pandemic on its own, love is not a pandemic but love needs to be natured, built from scratch and love needs patience. When you are in love it is like you are planting a tree plant as you will make sure that you water the plant with the right amount of water each day and you will be patient as the plant grows.

We face situations where we are left wounded and weak in life. We question if God can see us and what we are going through in life, I think that God sees us but we mi remember that life on earth is moving faster nowadays and God's will needs you to be patient. Let's see what the book of Psalm chapter 18 verses 1-29 is saying when you are weak and how does it comfort you. Psalm 18 verses 1-29 says, "1. How do I love you, Lord! You are my defender. 2. The Lord is my protector; he is my strong fortress. My God is my protection, and with him I am safe. He protects me like a shield; he defends me and keeps me safe. 3. I call to the Lord, and he saves me from my enemies. Praise the Lord. 4. The danger of death was all around me, the waves of destruction rolled over me. 5. The danger of death was all around me, and the grave yard set its trap for me. 6. In my trouble I called to the Lord; I called to my God for help. In his temple he heard my voice; he listened to my cry for help. 7. Then the earth trembled and shook; the foundations of the mountains rocked and quivered, because God was angry. 8. Smoke poured out of nostrils, a consuming flame and burning coals from his mouth. 9. He tore the sky open and came down with a dark cloud under his feet. 10. He flew swiftly on his winged creature, he traveled on the wings of the wind. 11. He covered himself with darkness; thick clouds, full of water, surrounded him. 12. Hailstones and flashes of fire came from the lightning before him and broke through the dark clouds. 13. Then the Lord thundered from the sky; and the voice of the Most High was heard. 14. He shot his arrows and scattered his enemies; with flashes of lightning sent them running. 15. The floor of the ocean was laid bare, the foundations of the earth were uncovered, when you rebuked your enemies, Lord, and roared at them in anger. 16. The Lord reached down from above and took hold of me; he pulled me out of the deep waters. 17. He rescued me from my powerful enemies and from all those who hate me - they were too strong for me. 18. When I was in trouble, they attacked me, but the Lord protected me. 19. He helped me out of danger; he saved me because he was pleased with me. 20. The Lord rewards me because I do what is right; he blesses me because I am innocent. 21. I have obeyed the law of the Lord; I have not turned away from my God. 22. I observed all his laws; I have not disobeyed his commands. 23. He knows that I am faultless, that I have kept myself from doing wrong. 24. And so he rewards me because I do what is right, because he knows that I am innocent. 25. O Lord, you are faithful to those who are faithful to you; completely good to those who are perfect. 26. You are pure to those who are pure, but hostile to who are wicked. 27. You save those who are humble, but you humble to those who are proud. 28. O Lord, you give me light; you dispel my darkness. 29. You give me strength to attack my enemies and power to overcome their defenses. " Just like King David we can all call for help from God because God will hear us and he will respond by coming to our aid.

In all corners of the world life is becoming more expensive. The cost of living is seriously becoming too expensive and difficult. I sometimes wish I could have lived in the times that my parents were growing up because back than the cost of living was cheaper to be honest because I really use to enjoy when I was told that life was cheaper and jobs were at a larger pool available, because if we look at how things are currently going life will forever be expansive. As a child you will never understand when your parents are saying use things wisely because things are super expensive, I fell in love with what I used to be told that money is picked from trees because I can see that life is expensive and it will forever be expensive.

God is not judgemental but God is love. It is people who will judge you not the Lord, for example if I use to steal money from the banks and from people if I change and to the place of worship they will judge instead of welcoming me as the God would have done so. Even if I go for five years without stealing they still not believe that I have changed. If God wants you to be part of people who worship God he will come to you directly and you will but they will judge. Let us look at the book Acts chapter 9 verses 1-31, "1. In the meantime Saul kept up his violent threats of murder against the follower of the Lord. He went to the High Priest 2. and asked for letters of introduction to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he should find there any followers of the Way of the Lord, he would be able to arrest them, both m and women, and bring them back to Jerusalem. 3. As Saul was coming near the city of Damascus, suddenly a light from the sky flashed around him. 4. He fell to the ground and heard a voice sayin to him, "Saul, Saul! Why do you persecute me?" 5. "Who are you, Lord?" he asked. "I am Jesus, whom you persecute," the voice said. 6."But get up and go into the city, where you will be told what you must do." 7. The men who were traveling with Saul had stopped, not saying a word; they heard the voice but could not see anyone. 8. Saul got up from the ground and opened his eyes, but could not see a thing. So they took him by hand and led him into Damascus. 9. For three days he was not able to see, and during the that time he did not eat or drink anything. 10. There was a believer in Damascus named Ananias. He had a vision, in which the Lord said to him, "Ananias!" "Here I am, Lord," he answered. 11. The Lord said to him, "Get ready and go to Straight Street, and at the house of Judas ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul. He is praying, 12. and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come in and place his hands on him so that he might see again." 13. Ananias answered, "Lord, many people have told me about this man and about all the terrible things he has done to your people in Jerusalem. 14. And he has come to Damascus with authority from the chief priests to arrest all worship you." 15. The Lord said to him, "Go because I have chosen him to serve me, to make my name known to Gentiles and kings and the people of Israel. 16. And I myself will show him all that he must suffer for my sake." 17. So Ananias went, entered the house where Saul was, and placed his hands on him."Brother Saul," he said, "the Lord sent me - Jesus himself, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here. He sent me so that you might see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit." 18. At once something like fish scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he was able to see again. He stood up and was baptismed; 19. and after he had eaten, his strength came back. Saul stayed for a few days with the believers in Damascus. 20. He went straight to the synagogues and began to preach that Jesus was the Son of God. 21. All who heard were amazed and asked, "Isn't he the one who in Jerusalem was killing those who worship Jesus? And didn't come here for the very purpose of arresting those people and taking them back to the chief priests.?" 22. But Saul's preaching became even more powerful, and his proofs that Jesus the Messiah were so convincing that the Jews who lived in Damascus could not answer. 23. After many days had gone by, the Jews met together and made plans to kill Saul, 24. but he was told of their plans. Day and night they watched the city gates in order to kill him. 25. But one night Saul's followers took him and let him down through an opening in the wall, lowering him in a basket." Please continue listening to the episode as I ran out of the word count.

People are always falling from success due to their own actions. We all want to climbe the ladder of or to have made it in life but staying there is not easy. I ask myself why do people fall from the top after they worked so hard to reach the top as it does not make sense how people fail to stay at top and being successful. There are two things that I have noticed causes the downfall for most people and they things are too much pride and ego. I am not saying that you must have pride in your own success but too much pride will be your downfall from the top. Too much pride can cost you everything because a person with too much pride cannot learn anything. A proud person is always looking down on things and other people, and it is obvious that as long as you are looking down you can't see what's above you and the only thing that will happen is to fall from the top. Pride is a spiritual cancer, it eats up the very possibility of love, contentment and even common sense. Too much pride always invites ego, ego will you think that everything is about you and no one likes to work with such a person with a big ego and is driven by too much pride. People with too much pride and a big ego always make others feel like they are worth nothing in because he or she is doing well in their life. Believe me if a lot of people are crying about you just know that your days are number of being at the top because people's tears always make a painful ending for the person they are crying about. The key to staying on the is to be humble and show humanity towards other people because in life we are all connected you will need help from others in life.

We need courage to do everything in life. Without courage we cannot do anything as I said before we face a lot crisis in our everyday lives if you lack courage it is also a crisis because things are going to be difficult. Just like Moses did not have courage when God told him that he must go to Egypt and rescue the children of Israel from Phora. Even Jeremiah did not have courage when God sent him to speak to people who were older than him as he thought that they were not going to listen to him because he was still a child. God gave Moses and Jeremiah the courage after he spoke to them. After Moses passed away courage was highly needed because the children of Israel were in disbelief that Moses was no more. Let us look at the book of Joshua 1 as God gave Joshua courage to take over from Moses, Joshua 1, "1. After the death of the Lord's servant Moses, the Lord spoke to Moses's helper, Joshua son of Nun. 2. He said,"My servant Moses is dead. Get ready now, you and all the people of Israel, and cross the Jordan River into the land that I am giving them. 3. As I told Moses, I have given you and all my people the entire land that you will be marching over. 4. Your borders will reach from the desert in the south to the Lebanon Mountains in the north; from the great Euphrates River in the east, though the Hittite country, to the Mediterranean Sea in the west. 5. Joshua, no one will be able to defeat you as long as you live. I will always be with you;I will never abandon you. 6. Be determined and confident, for you will be the leader of these people as they occupy this land which I promised their ancestors. 7. Just be determined, be confident; and make sure that you obey the whole Law that my servant Moses gave you. Do not neglect any part of it and you will succeed wherever you go. 8. Be sure that the book of the Law is always read in your worship. Study it day and night, and make sure that you obey everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9. Remember that I have commanded you to be determined and confident! Do not be afraid or discouraged, for I, the Lord your God, am with you wherever you go. " 10. Then Joshua ordered the leaders to 11. go through the camp and say to the people,"Get some food ready, because in three days you are going to cross the Jordan River to occupy the land that your God is giving you." 12. Joshua said to the tribes of Reuben and Gad and to half the tribe of Manasseh, 13. "Remember how the Lord's servant Moses told you that the Lord your God would give you this land on the east of the Jordan as your home. 14. Your wives, your children, and your livestock stay here, but your soldiers, armed for battle, will cross over ahead of the other Israelites in order to help them 15. until they have occupied the land west of the Jordan that the Lord has given them. When he has given safety to all the tribes of Israel, then you may come back and settle here in your own land east of the Jordan, which Moses, the Lord's servant, gave to you." 16. They answered Joshua,"We will do everything you have told us and will go anywhere you send us. 17. We will obey you, just as we always obeyed Moses, and may the Lord your God be with you as he was with Moses! 18. Whoever questions your authority or disobeys any of your orders will be put to death. Be determined and confident."

We are human beings and we are going through different things in life sometimes everything seems to be be perfect but sometimes we face our crisis and we should not forget God. It can be a external crisis or it can be a internal crisis tell God about your crisis. The book of Psalm 121 trys to inspire people when they are facing a crisis. Psalm 121,"1. I look to the mountains;where my help will come from? 2. My help will come from the Lord, who made the heaven and earth. 3. He will not let you fall, your protector is always awake. 4. The protector of Israel never dozes or sleeps. 5. The Lord will guard you; he is by your side to protect you. 6. The sun will not hurt you during the day, nor the moon during the night. 7. The Lord will protect you from all danger, he will keep you safe. 8. He will protect you as you come and go, now and forever." Talk to him about everything that is happening in your life weather good or bad tell him.

Life is made up of common things and rare things where life is dominated with common things which it difficult for us to see the rare elements of life. There are things that are found everywhere which makes easy for us to fail to see rare things in life. From my point of view these are the rare elements of life the truth, trust, respect, true love, true friends, patience and happiness in intelligent people. The truth is a rare element because a lot of people are happy with telling you lies instead of the truth. The second rare element of life is trust, trust is rare in this world, you will meet a lot of people in the world but you will only trust a few out of the every 100 of people you meet. The 3rd rare element is respect, respect is earned not just given out for free. The 4th rare elements of life is true love, we all want to have someone who is go to love us for who we are,but remember not everyone who you fall in love with is going to give you true love. The 5th rare element of life is true friends, true friends are like diamonds, precious and rare to find, while false friends are like leaves, found everywhere. The 6th rare element of life is patience, people just often think that life moves fastly but good things take time so you must have patience with life. The last rare elementof life is happiness in intelligent people, intelligent people are always busy and they forget that they have live life to the full.

Why is it hard to appreciate what a person has done in his or her life when he or she is still alive? Life is surrounded by people who judge us day in and day out. They will talk about us when we succeed and laugh when we fail. They can make us or break us. But the secret is to live a humble life that pleases the Lord not people. For he will exalt you in his perfect timing. Most of the time a person gets highly appropriate when they pass on in life. When a person is still alive he or she gets little appreciation if he or she is lucky enough because a lot of people get zero appreciation for what they are doing when they are still alive. Instead of getting appreciation you will get people compete with you for whatever reason that makes them happy to compete with you.
