Strength For the Journey

Religion is man made. Now faith comes from the Father God and through that faith we believe.

And so many fall into the trap of the man made, religion being
one of mans most damaging creations, so many are led astray
following blindly never realising their fate, never meeting with
God, missing out on the most important relationship they will
ever have, never hearing the true teachings of Christ, His
Love for us, nor do they experience a life lived out in accordance with
His ways, which are ultimately better than anything Man has in
store for us, and will end with us re united by His side, the other
path, the one of religion will only ever end in complete failure and
an eternity not spent in Heaven, that’s a long time to suffer just because
you didn’t seek out God and ditch the religion, sad to see it unfold.

That is very true, it’s easy for a Christian to come out and tell someone
they see doing wrong about it, it’s easy because a Christian does so without
judging, as we understand we will all be judged by our Heavenly Father, but
to the non believer it must come across as if we are judging when we question
or point out a wrong doing, their perspective lacks that which is obvious to the
Christian, that being there is only one Judge over us all, and we are not in fact
Judging, but merely pointing out something that is wrong according to
word, the word that was given to help us understand and guide us through life.
And when enough wrongs are pointed out, then hatred towards the messenger
can creep in, that’s why it’s important to share our views about wrong doing in
the best way possible in order to Glorify God with our efforts.

If I'm asked - How do you get... can be many things in life - everything takes work in one way or another. Even doing nothing is work sometimes... This is my reply.

Focused persistence with a planned and expected outcome.

The outcome is sometimes different but usually better or completely different which gives a new perception.

Here is a favorite of mine:

"Begin With the End in Mind!"

A wise man who I used to work with used to end every company meeting with:

"If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you always got"

The only thing worse than waiting on God...is wishing you had.

 

[pbillyi69]

the other one that i like that is always true if you are paying attention. "be careful what you wish for, you might just get it." my experience is that I often get what i wish for but wasnt specific enough. i tell people to be real specific when wishing for things because in some way or form you will get exactly what you wish for.
