FAITH PRODUCES PATIENCE

" Count it all joy when you fall into various trials knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience"- JAMES 1:2-3

from: www.kozzi.com

           In life, this is very true that obstacles in various forms come into play one way or the other. No matter what our status in life, whether one is rich or poor,  white or black, big or small, yet trials still come along the way. Wealth is never an assurance that one will be fully blessed in life. At times, even those who seemed so deprived prove to be more contented in life compared to those who are more privileged. 

          In short, life would always be coupled with trials and it depends on one's ability to handle them that will measure how far or near they can go with those trials. From the moment that one wakes up up to the point that he goes to bed, so many experiences exist along the way. One could not just evade situations that bring challenges and hardships. Neither that he can just turns away from them. The best possible way to handle them is to welcome and consider them as possible resources of growing up and developing more one's patience in life.

          On the other hand, being patient will enable each one to deal with various situations and people. However when one is faced with a difficult situation, it is then that this patience is put into test.  Various ways to deal with a difficult situations come in expectedly and unexpectedly. Some of the ways to deal with such situations are:

1. Don't let any trial to rule over one's life.

2. Step back and look at the whole picture objectively.

3. Recognize all points both positive vs negative.

4. Enumerate components at hand that can be of immediate assistance.

5. Enumerate other components outside of oneself and check if they can be made available at hand.

6. Pray for God's guidance before implementing concrete steps to deal with the difficult situation.

7. Accept responsibility for all outcome.

          How do you deal with your own trial in life? Feel free to share them here and let us all learn from each other.

SHARING THE GIFT OF LIFE

          Today as my loved one celebrates her birthday, I am with her as she embraces her creator's goodness in bringing another chapter to her life. Indeed, life is the most precious gift that we all received from God. 

               Everyday we are endowed with situations in which we can share this gift of life with others. It is not just on birthdays that we must realize life's value....we need to inculcate in our minds that everyday is always a reminder for us to treasure and get hold of this gift.

Moreover, I salute those who are seemed to be deprived in life in terms of capabilities, those who are differently abled, those who are denied of certain senses like that of seeing and hearing, yet in the midst of their predicaments they are still projecting how precious life is. Even if many are feeling hurt and helpless in those situations yet there are many also who emerge triumphant of such deprivation and they are the ones who serve as models for all to strive the more.

          On the other hand, we are surrounded by people, events, situations and others that will aid us in holding on to what is ideal in life. We have different goals and directions, we own separate ways, we carry different burdens yet we are on the same journey that is towards the fulfillment of our life. We all aim for happiness and contentment. Yet many instances in our life can tell us that it is not all joy that we experience everyday. As life goes on, we continue to struggle and fall down yet what counts the most is that we continue to get up and survive each day believing that  we can get over the situation and emerge as better persons.

          To reiterate, I celebrate the joy of my beloved on her memorable moment this day and I am with her in extending gratitude to our Divine Creator for all goodness shared day by day most notably the gift of LIFE. 

  

A GUEST POST: LIFE

Life

                Life is the most precious gift one human being can have. What we always wish is to spend it in a peaceful and safe community. Around the world we often see life as a threatening thing to be. We can never tell what will happen next. It could be natural disasters , wars, civil disturbance and sometimes sickness. Few people are just being killed without any provocation or reason. Other killings are done out of mental disturbance.

                 We meet people by chance for they meant to cross our path. Experience wise, I have witnessed life as a gift that needs to be taken good care of. Sometimes, life seems so unfair especially when we lose someone whom we have offered love and trust.

                  Facing the challenges now is but a game to be won, but accepting the fact that a loved one is about to lose a life because of a certain sickness is more tragic. You feel being betrayed and helpless for your dreams are shattered. 

                  On the other hand, you want to spend your life with a person whom you have loved tremendously. And then suddenly, someone will tell you he`s about to leave you soon. How can someone take such sad news of a loved one who will be giving up life so soon? Seems so traumatic to accept it in an instant. Giving all the sacrifices  to fulfill a dream and then you suddenly realize that it will never be yours forever.

                  One can definitely believe that having and giving life is such a pleasure... GOD has all the reasons to  what is happening around us and He is always there to protect us. Don't ever lose faith and always ask for His guidance in everything that you will do to your LIFE.

A BEAUTIFUL DAY

  Disclosure: "This post contains affiliate links- if you buy I earn a commission at no extra cost to you."

        What a beautiful day for me today----everything became a sort of a blessing.... From the moment I woke up, shared the early morning breakfast with my wife, and even at work, everything was on its proper place. My mates were mostly energetic as well hence I also received that positive vibes from them. That's my personal experience- that when I and those people around me are  showing positive vibrations, tasks and relationships tend to become light.

          Its is true that when we radiate positive aura to others, we will also receive positive aura in return. More over I believe that being positive goes along with one's ability to stay focus in all things to be fulfilled.

                           

          Being constantly focus in everything we do is not an easy thing. It entails a rich resources of patience and stability. Patience in the sense that as human as we are we tend to overdo things- we like to accomplish multiple tasks at the same time. I'm not saying that it is wrong or it is not possible. many gifted and trained people are able to accomplish such task yet  a large number also including myself are at times lost since the sense of being focus is absent. Can you recall concretely any event in your life wherein you are trying so hard to fulfill a certain task when suddenly a separate and unrelated thing popped up? Or you are at the verge of making it to the finish line of your work when suddenly your mind wanders so very far away? These are frustrating moments in our life yet they are also very true to you and me.

     

          Thus, it is with such gratitude that I thank my God for allowing me to stay focus today in my tasks and my relationships. And may this be my prayer that I will continue to be focused on one thing at a time so that I can also achieve quality in my tasks and relationships.

SWEET JOURNEY: START THE JOURNEY WITH GOD

Thanks for the art of life!

Have you ever thought of the first sound, word, phrase, or sentence that you've made?

We can't really tell the things that we have been doing when we were still at the womb of our dearest mother..

They would probably tell us..we could create gurgling sounds, kicking sounds, so and so...

Well, those sounds weigh more than a thousand word, It's the sound of life!

It signifies that we are ready to face the world...

Have you ever count the number of sounds that you've made from the moment you were born?

Try to imagine the sound of breathing, the sound of your heartbeat...

Have you thank God for that?

Life is a journey that we have to survive step by step...

Let me share some sounds in my life that you can reflect with my next blogs.

Let us all be grateful that God has given all these opportunities to live with and discover the purpose of LIFE...

I'm blessed to have a friend who invited me to express my journey on this page that he has made.

This is such a great opportunity to create a sound, shout, word, phrase, sentence and blog that is worthful; by spreading the word of God.

...And realize that everything starts with GOD.

So let's continue our journey with HIM...
