There's a father in whom love prevails, always. We could argue today that the more we strayed away from the father, the closer he came. He searches for us, nurses us to health from sickness, prevents the devil from taking undue advantage of us, clothes us, gives rain and sun for food. All the while, working out his plan to restore us to our original position of authority and dominion.

If I may ask, are you ever completely in control of the story of your life? Do you have full knowledge of what will happen and why they should happen to you? Can you say with absolute certainty that you know everything about yourself? How about all the other characters your story have within them? It is safe to say that the uncertainties we face in our lives, rule us out as being the ultimate story-tellers of our lives. Check this out, we do not even decide where or how we are born, and birth, as we all know, is where our story begins. Someone else must definitely be telling the stories of our lives! Thankfully, we know who that person is!

Finding The Constant In A Changing World

... the question I want to address in this post is: How do you find a constant in this constantly changing times? I'll try to show you that though the waters may look murky all around and the spaces occupied by quicksand keeps expanding around us, there is still a safety net, a solid rock, that is accessible to all. There's still a reason to be hopeful and expectant in times when the situations around us dictate the opposite response of giving up or losing hope is better.

God Wants You On His Level And This Is How To Get There

I think deep down in all of us, we feel seriously flawed in one way or the other. Like a defective product, we don't know if we were born that way or it was something that was just deposited and grew as we grew up. If you're being honest, you've probably realized this and noticed that no matter what you do, it doesn't seem to go away. This flaw seems to draw certain mistakes out of you and it feels like a pile of unpaid debt keeps accumulating. One that you don't know exactly how to pay, but believe can be paid nonetheless.

Three Things To Know About Philippians 4:13

We are all born for a purpose and while we may waste time on irrelevant things, our purpose doesn't just vanish. It waits behind the scenes, and every once in a while we get clues to them. Once you step into your purpose, you immediately activate something divine about your life because the origin of all human purpose is God.

How To Win When Nothing Seems To Work

Constantly meeting obstacles or facing challenges when trying to achieve something can be a drain on morale. It can cause sleepless nights and excessive stress. If you've ever dealt with serial disappointments, then you know the associated tears can be a serious drain on your energy, and even though you may want to move on, sometimes the helplessness is paralyzing. How about when you have labored so hard and put in a lot of sweat only to be told NO in the end?

3 Reasons Why Democracy And Communism Are Doomed to Fail

By Ferdinand October 28, 2020clarity, communism, community, confidence, connection, crazy world, deceitful, decisions, democracy, depression, despair, faith, follow the Lord, full life, God, government, Hope, hopeless, I am sane, intervention, Jeremiah 17:9, King of the universe, life, life is difficult, life is hard, lifestyle, lost, love God, master, peace, Proverbs 1:7, sad, society, the heart is wicked, trust, Wisdom, wise, worry, Young, Youth

Everybody wants what they want and nobody sacrifices for the other. Therefore, placing trust in people and expecting them to be absolutely moral and selfless in their decisions with regards to others, is a difficult and untenable road. This is more so in the case of democracy where representation is prevalent. In the case of communism, I imagine everybody would have to genuinely care about everyone else which is almost impractical given human nature.
