State Of Mind With Jb

We all need guidance at some point in our lives as we get lost in life. We sometimes need rules in life as we face huge challenges as we lose hope in ourselves. The Bible should become our best friend as the Bible has everything we need to survive in life for us to live in the best way possible in our lives. The Bible offers guidance in the book of Romans Chapter 12 from the beginning to the last verse which verse 21. Let's go through the guidance of the Bible in the book of Romans chapter 12,"1. So then, my friends, because of God's greet mercy to us I appeal to you : Offer yourselves as a living sacrifice to God, dedicated to his service and pleasing to him. This is the true worship that you should offer. 2. Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know the will of God - what is good and is pleasing to him and is perfect. 3. And because of God's gracious gift to me I say to every one of you : Do not think of yourself more highly than you should. Instead, be modest in your thinking, and judge yourself according to the amount of faith God has given you. 4. We have many parts in the one body, and all these parts have different functions. 5. In the same way, though we are many, we are one body in union with Christ, and we are joined to each other as different parts of one body. 6. So we are our different gifts in accordance with the grace that God has given us. If our gift is to speak God's message, we should do it according to the faith that we have. 7. If it is to serve, we should serve, if it is to teach, we should teach. 8. If it is to encourage others, we should do so. Whoever shares with others should do it generously; whoever has authority should work hard; whoever shows kindness to others should do it cheerfully. 9. Love must be completely sincere. Hate what is evil, hold on to what is good. 10. Love one another warmly as Christians, and be eager to show respect for one another. 11. Work hard and do not be lazy. Serve the Lord with a heart full of devotion. 12. Let your hope keep you joyful, be patient in your troubles, and pray at all times. 13. Share your belongings with your needy fellow Christians, and open your homes to strangers. 14. Ask God to bless those who persecute you - yes ask him to bless them, not curse. 15. Be happy with those who are happy, weep with those who weep. 16. Have the same concern for everyone. Do not be proud, but accept humble duties. Do not think of yourselves as wise. 17. If someone has done you wrong, do not repay him with a wrong. Try to do what every one considers to be good. 18. Do everything possible on your part to live in peace with everybody. 19. Never take revenge, my friends, but instead let God's anger do it. For the scripture says, "I will take revenge, I will pay back, says the Lord." 20. Instead, as the scripture says, "if your enemies are hungry, feed them, if they are thirsty, give them a drink, for by doing this you will make them burn with shame." 21. Do not let evil defeat you; instead, conquer evil with good. "

Our efforts will determine how long it will take take for each of us to reach our destinies in life. Some people live their dreams while others let destiny pass they by, telling me that there is no hope in life. We should always remember that nothing stays the same in life it all depends on the amount of effort you are willing to put in to reach your destiny in life. All of us are moving towards our destinies which is driven by our efforts to move forward in life. Sometimes life moves faster for some people to reach their destinies at a young age while life moves slowly for other people where they sometimes feel like giving up but at the end they will reach their destinies if they keep on going in life. Someone may take a lot of years in university just to find a job the minute after the person graduates, while someone may graduate early in university just to find a job after a few years. Someone may get married at a young age in their 20s and find a true soul mate while it may take me a long time to get a true soul mate in life. Life is a journey where you do not have to rush the events of life and allow life to unfold itself to you.

Why do you have to swim in depression alone when you know that the Lord said that I will never abandon you, I will never leave you. We all go through the route of being depressed in life. Depress means that you are at a state of unhappiness which the world is currently going through at the moment. I would like to invite you to open the book of Psalm 27 and comfort your depression. Psalm 27, 1. The Lord is my light and my salvation, I will fear no one. The Lord protects me from all danger, I will never be afraid. 2. When evil people attack me and try to kill me, they will stumble and fall. 3. Even if a whole army surrounds me, I will not be afraid even if enemies attack me, I will still trust God. 4. I have asked the Lord for one thing; one thing only do I want : to live in the Lord's house all my life, to marvel there at his goodness, and to ask for his guidance. 5. In times of trouble he will shelter me; he will keep me safe in his Temple and make me secure on a high rock. 6. So I will triumph over my enemies around me. With shouts of joy I will offer sacrifices in his Temple ; I will sing, I will praise the Lord. 7. Hear me Lord, when I call you! Be merciful and answer me! 8. When you said, "Come worship me," I answered, "I will come, Lord." 9. Don't hide yourself from me! Don't be angry with me; don't turn your servant away. You have been my help; don't leave me, don't abandon me, O God, my savior. 10. My father and mother may abandon me, but the Lord will take care of me. 11. Teach me, Lord, what you want me to do, and lead me along a safe path, because I have many enemies. 12. Don't abandon me to my enemies, who attack me with lies and threats. 13. I know that I will live to see the Lord's goodness in this present life. 14. Trust in the Lord, do not despair. Trust in the Lord.

It's sad when you realize you are not as important to someone as you thought you were. Feeling neglected is one of the most disheartening feelings in the world. In many cases it is even worse than being disliked because it is simply a person's passive response to your existence. When someone is being neglected it may feel like the person who is neglecting you is saying, "You are not important enough to me to waste my time and energy on." Many of us are used to saying that states that, "treat other people the way you wish to be treated." But sometimes in life you don't get what you want, you can treat a person in a better manner, and pour out your heart for a person just to get half of the treatment you give that person. At this point it will be obvious that you are going to be drowning in emotions like sadness and depression by the ill treatment you will be receiving. You will also feel your efforts are being underrated by the other person because a relationship requires two people putting in the same efforts on the table for the relationship to run like a well oiled machine.

God is the best ally as God never changes. This is seen in the book of the Hebrews chapter 13 verse 8 which says, "Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever." and even if we look verses 5 and 6 of this chapter which solidify that God is a true ally, verse 5 says,' Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be satisfied with what you have. For God has said"I will never you ;I will never abandon you"' verse 6 says that, 'Let's be told, then and say, "The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?"' So in God we have a true ally as God never changes even in this time when there is a lot of uncertainty in the world where we have ask, O God can you see our troubles are just climbing up each day as death is just the normal order of the day, where our brothers and sisters are losing their jobs as the economies are crumbling, we must ally our with God our true alliance who will never disappoint us not even one day. The problem with us is that we want to take issues into our hands and solve our problems as we forget God our true ally. If we decide to deal with our problems without inviting God those problems will definitely over power us and we won't be happy anymore as those problems will be our stress which we wake up with for breakfast and we go to bed with our dinner. We should say those which were said in the book of Hebrews 13 verse 6 which says that, "The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me."

How you treat people comes from your mindset. We treat people according to our mindset because what we tell our minds our minds will believe it. What you feed your mind plays a big role in how you are going to treat others. I seen this when people treat others differently because of their mindset and this is wrong because sometimes what you tell your mind is not supported by facts which makes it to be pointless. Let us treat each other the same we want to be treated in.

No one will offer you unconditional love like your parents. Our parents always want to see us happy even if we let them down their love for us never changes throughout our life time. Let us see what our scripture reading says as our scripture comes from Luke 15 verses 11-32: 11)Jesus went on to say, "There was once a man who had two sons." 12)The younger son said to him,'Father, give me my share of the property now.' So the father divided his property between his two sons. 13) After a few days the younger son sold his part of the property and left home with the money. He went to a country far away, where he wasted his money in reckless living. 14) He spent everything he had. Then a severe famine spread over that country, and he was left without a thing. 15) So he went to work for one of the citizens of that country, who sent him out to his farm to take care of the pigs. 16) He wished he could fill himself with the bean pods the pigs ate, but no one gave him anything to eat. 17) At last he came to his senses and said, ' All my father's hired workers have more than they can eat, and here I am about to starve!' 18) I will get up and go to my father and say, 'Father, I have sinned against God and against you. 19) I am no longer fit to be called your;treat me as of your hired workers.' 20) So he got up and started started going back to his father. He was still a long way from home when father saw him, his heart was filled with pity, and he ran, threw his arms around his son, and kissed him. 21)'Father,' the son said, 'I have sinned against God and against you. I no longer fit to be called your son.' 22) But the father called to his servants, 'Hurry!' he said, 'Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and shoes on his feet. 23) Then go and get the prize calf and kill it and let us celebrate with a feast! 24) For this son of mine was dead, but now he has been found.' And so the feasting began. 25) In the meantime the older son was out in the field. On his way back, when he came close to the house, he heard the music and dancing. 26) So he called one servants and asked him,' What's going on?' 27)'Your brother is back home.' the servant answered, 'and your father has killed the prize calf, because he got him back safe and sound.' 28)The older brother was so angry that he would not into the house, so his father came out and begged him to come in. 29)But he spoke back his father, 'Look, all these years I have worked for you like a slave, and I have never disobeyed your orders. What have you given me? Not even a goat for me to have a feast with my friends! 30) But this son of yours wasted all your property on prostitutes, and when he comes back, you killed the prize calf for him!' 31)' My son' the father answered, 'you are always here with me, and everything I have is yours. 32) But we had to celebrate and be happy, because your brother was dead, but now he is alive, he was lost but now he has been found.' "

In life we struggle from birth until we close our eyes for the last time. We all have a different meaning to the word struggle, as we all have our own different types of struggles in life. In general the meaning of the word struggle refers to make forceful efforts to get free of restraint. When it comes to life the meaning of struggle it differs from person to person, sometimes you might think that you are facing a up hill struggle while you don't know that the person next to you is facing 5 times your struggle but person is able to put a smile on each day. Life is a journey full of struggles day-in and day-out, we all face our own struggles, my struggles will never be the same as yours because we are coming from different worlds and we have different ambitious in life but sometimes you might find that you your struggle is similar to the next person because in life we are connected to one another in many ways. We should not be ashamed of our struggles in life as one day we will look back and say yes my struggles were worth it or my struggles were really my down fall. Some people grow from their struggles while others die from their struggles in life.

Life is built in God's hands as he knows our ups and downs in life. Good days, bad days, and just OK days they are all part of life. God is always there to offer us support, he sees the decision we make each, he sees our tribulations and he sees our celebrations that are all part of our everyday lives. Your faith plays a vital role in your life. Ephesians 5 verses 15-16 says, "Be very careful, then, how you live - not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every every opportunity, because the days are evil." This tells that we should take advantage of new opportunities to strengthen your faith and create meaning in your everyday life. Proverbs 27 verse 29 says," As water reflects the face, one's life reflects the heart." Remember that your life is a reflection of the ideals and faith you hold in your heart.
