Yes, I have felt that way my whole life.

I can relate, I have been in a state of "wilderness" for a while myself. At first I was so angry and so frustrated at God and everyone else around me. To be honest, I feel that feeling of anger trying to creep back on me still. I started talking wit…

Loving God,
we thank you for the love of the mothers you have given us,
whose love is so precious that it can never be measured,
whose patience seems to have no end.
May we see your loving hand behind them and guiding them.
We pray for those mothers who fear they will run out of love
or time, or patience.
We ask you to bless them with your own special love.
We ask this in the name of Jesus,Amen.

onlyjesus said… - Six keys to personal Success!
The true success is the achievement of the very best way of life, one that results from the application of God standards and that harmonizes with his purpose for us. A person who leads such a life, the bible says, will “become like a tree planted by streams of water, that gives its own fruit in its season and the foliage does not wither, and everything he does he does will succeed” Psalm 1:3.
Everyone is imperfect and makes mistakes, our lives as a whole can be resounding success. The following six bible principles can help us to reach our aim.
1. keep money in its place
The love of money is the root of all sorts of evil, and by reaching by this love some have……stabbed themselves all over with many pains" 1Timothy 6:10 .Note that the issue is not money itself which we all need to care for ourselves and our families But the love of money. In reality, love makes one’s master or God. People who avidly chase after riches as a key to success are, in fact pursuing a mirage. Besides inviting disappointment, they invite many pains. When people pursue money they can even sacrifice relationship and family and friends. If not because of work, because of anxiety or worry (Ecclesiastes 5:12).Money is not a just a cruel master but a deceitful one as well (Mark 4:19). The man who loves money will never have enough (Ecclesiastes 5:10).More closely linked to happiness and success are generosity, a forgiving attitude, moral cleanness, love, and spirituality
2. Cultivate a generous disposition
There is more happiness in giving that receiving (Acts 20:35).While occasional, giving can produce moment of happiness; a generous disposition can bring a state of happiness. One of the best ways, and often the most appreciated, is given oneself (Roman 12:1-2).Those who give generously according to their means do not suffer lost because of it (proverbs 11:25).God loves a cheerful giver (2corinthians 9:7, Hebrews 13:16).please we should not have poverty mentality, but the little that we have we must give, for GOD BLESS THE SOWER. In Africa, If one is teaching about giving, most people say, “I don’t have” If you have in mind that you don’t have, you will never get anything from the Lord, the little that you have will be taking away from you.
3. Forgive freely
Forgive one another freely if anyone has a course of complaint against another, even God freely forgive us, so do we also. (Colossians 3:13).Forgiveness brings healing. Forgiving attitude is not just a good social lubricant but also god medicine!
4. Comply with God’s standards
The commandment of God is clean, making the eye shine (psalm 19:8).To be simple, God’s standard is good for us, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Among other things they shield us from such harmful practices as drug abuse, drunkenness, sexual misconduct, and viewing pornography. (2 Corinthians 7:1; Colossians 3:5).
On the positive side, those who comply with God’s standards foster wholesome, secure relationship, as well as self-respect and inner peace (Isaiah 48:17, 18).
5. Show unselfish Love
Love build up (1corithians 8:1). Can you imagine a life without love? What a hallow, unhappy existence that will be! If I do not have love for others I am nothing, I am not profited at all. Apostle Paul wrote this under divine inspiration (1 corinthins13:2-3). The form of Love mentioned here is not the sexual kind, which of course has it place. Rather, it is richer, more, lasting governed by Godly principle (Matthew 22:37-39).Moreover, is not passive, in the sense of receiving it, but active, in the sense of showing it. Please you may read more on love from the bible about relationship and love of the truth (1 Corinthians 13:4-8; Ephesians 5:33, 6:4, Colossians 3:20, John 17:17, Mark 10:9).
6. Be conscious of your spiritual need!!!
Happy are those conscious of their spiritual needs (Matthew 5:3). Unlike animals, humans have capacity to appreciate spiritual things. Hence we ask the question as, what is the purpose of Life. Is there a creator? What does the future holds? Worldwide, million of people believe that the bible answered those questions above correctly. God has purpose for mankind, and what is that purpose? It is for us to inherent the Garden of Eden Again. That is why he send His only begotten son that who ever believes in him and do his will, will never perish like our fore fathers (Adam and Ewe). Clearly, our creator wants more for us than temporary success for a few days on earth. He want us to be successful forver.So now is the time for us to learn about our creator.

“That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.”- Romans 10:9-10

felixpadua said… - hello, here's a joke to welcome you!
Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her mother, "Why is the bride dressed in white?''
The mother replied, "Because white is the color of happiness, and today is the happiest day of her life."
The child thought about this for a moment then said, "So why is the groom wearing black?"
