Words Of Wisdom:

:: No weapon formed against me will prosper :: With God all things are possible :: Nothing is impossible to those that BELIEVE! :: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. :: Galatians 5:22-23 :: Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. (NIV) :: rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. (KJV) :: [LOVE] does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. (NASB) :: 1 Corinthians 13:6-7 :: Commentary :: Love does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth. The godly love described in this chapter has nothing to do with evil, but has everything to do with what is right and true. It believes all things and hopes all things. This does not mean that love is blind or naive. When we love, we may recognize problems and failures in people, but we do not lose faith in the possibilities of what people might become. Love never gives up, knowing that God can change lives for the better. Finally, love endures all things. Love accepts any hardship or rejection, and continues unabated to build up and encourage. The love described by Paul in this "love chapter" means determining what is best for another person and then doing it. This is the kind of love that God shows to us. :: Radmacher, E. D., Allen, R. B., & House, H. W. (1997). The Nelson study Bible : New King James Version. Includes index. (1 Co 13:8). Nashville: T. Nelson Publishers. :: www.thedailybibleverse.org :: We've got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn't matter with me now. Because I've been to the mountain top. And I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people will get to the promised land. And I'm happy, tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord. :: ~Martin Luther King Jr - Last Speech :: Without a doubt, Blacks are no more criminal than anyone else in this society. Yet, for as long as this country has existed, Blacks have gone through this nation’s criminal justice system and have always been found wanting. Of course, poverty impacts on criminality, but there is more to the large proportion of Blacks in the criminal justice and prison systems of America than poverty. The system is untoward toward African Americans primarily and other ethnic minorities generally.This negativity toward Blacks is because of the individuals who administer the systems and the assumptions, biases, and cultural prejudices they bring to justice. It does not matter what system one lives under: if it is contaminated by bias, prejudices, and preconceived notions, that system cannot function fairly. :: ~Mother Jones online :: You are worthy! :: "A person's worth is contingent upon who he is, not upon what he does, or how much he has. The worth of a person, or a thing, or an idea, is in being, not in doing, not in having." :: ~Alice Mary Hilton :: As a human being, as spirit manifested in form, you are innately worthy. Your worthiness does not have to be strengthened or improved. However, you may not PERCEIVE yourself to be worthy. :: If you doubt your self-worth, consciously or unconsciously, you will limit the good things you will allow into your life. :: Do you consider yourself worthy? It may help to answer these questions: - Do you find it easier to give than to receive? - Do you have as much money as you would like? - Do you feel driven to improve yourself? - Do you value other people's time more highly than your own? - How would you feel if someone offered to pay you a salary of $1 million/year? :: If you find you lack self-worth, don't despair. Just being aware of your self-worth issues will help you let them go. :: "Every achiever that I have ever met says, 'My life turned around when I began to believe in me.'" :: ~Dr. Robert H. Schuller :: "We cannot achieve more in life than what we believe in our heart of hearts we deserve to have." :: ~James R. Ball :: Explore with questions :: "The word 'question' is derived from the Latin 'quarrier' (to seek) which is also the root of 'quest.' A creative life is a continued quest, and good questions can be very useful guides. Most useful are open-ended questions; they allow for fresh unanticipated answers to reveal themselves." :: ~Source Unknown :: Questions hold the power to draw out answers that surprise us. If we are on an inner journey to greater self-knowledge, we must seek to understand unfamiliar parts of ourselves. The most enlightening answers are released by our subconscious minds or by our intuition. Use questions frequently to go exploring. :: Try these out: - What qualities do you find most attractive in others? How do you exhibit those same qualities? - What is your greatest fear? Why do you fear that? - What message is your body trying to get through to you? :: "If we would have new knowledge, we must get a whole world of new questions." :: ~Susanne K. Langer :: Apply what you know :: "Knowledge of any kind ... brings about a change in awareness from where it is possible to create new realities." :: ~Deepak Chopra :: As we evolve, we handle knowledge in different ways. We tend to move through these stages: - We are unaware. - We become aware of facts, data, information. - We comprehend meaning from the facts. - We can personally apply the information in our lives. - We have wisdom - enlightened, we can lovingly apply our knowledge to world affairs. - We live in truth. :: How have you personally experienced a shifting of applying knowledge from one level to the next? :: "More important than finding the teacher is finding and following the truth of the teaching...." :: ~Sogyal Rinpoche :: "There can be no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of a truth, yet until we have felt its force, it is not ours. To the cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul." :: ~Arnold Bennett :: "You don't want a million answers as much as you want a few forever questions." :: ~Richard Bach :: "We don't always know what makes us happy. We know, instead, what we think SHOULD. We are baffled and confused when our attempts at happiness fail :: We are mute when it comes to naming accurately our own preferences, delights, gifts, talents. The voice of our original self is often muffled, overwhelmed, even strangled, by the voices of other people's expectations. The tongue of the original self is the language of the heart." :: ~Julie Cameron :: We are each unique beings with a unique path in life. If we wish to be fulfilled, we need to go to our own hearts for direction. We might regularly ask ourselves: "What do I really want to do?" :: "What brings me greatest happiness?" :: "How can I bring more of these into my life?" :: Life wants us to go for what brings us most joy and meaning. "It doesn't interest me what you do for a living..I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing." :: ~Oriah Mountain Dreamer :: "Let me listen to me and not to them." :: ~Gertrude Stein :: "What you must dare is to be yourself." :: ~Dag Hammarskjold :: In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths :: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness :: Be Someone :: Be someone who listens, and you will be heard. Be someone who cares, and you will be loved. Be someone who gives, and you will be blessed. Be someone who comforts, and you will know peace. Be someone who genuinely seeks to understand, and you will be wise. Be someone kind, someone considerate, and you will be admired. Be someone who values truth, and you will be respected. Be someone who takes action, and you will move life forward. Be someone who lifts others higher, and your life will be rich. Be someone filled with gratitude, and there will be no end to the things for which you'll be thankful. Be someone who lives with joy, with purpose, as your own light brightly shines. Be, in every moment, the special someone you are truly meant to be. :: ~Ralph Marston :: The measure of man's humanity is the extent and intensity of his Love for mankind. :: ~Ashley Montagu :: While a good education can be helpful, too much schooling tends to stifle creativity. If you think you have to get some degree or certification before you can pursue a big dream, think again: most likely, all you need is the gumption to forge your own path to success and fulfillment. :: "Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the Ark. Professionals built the Titanic." :: ~author unknown :: People are like stained glass windows: they sparkle and shine when the sun's out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is light within. :: ~Elizabeth Kubler-Ross :: :: An invisible thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break. :: ~An ancient Chinese belief :: We go through what we go through to help others go through what we went through. :: You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. :: ~ Max Ehrmann - Desiderata :: The longest journey of any person is the journey inward. :: ~Unknown :: Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away. :: ~Unknown :: One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a long time. :: ~Unknown :: Stop telling God how big your storm is - Instead tell your storm how big your GOD is. :: ~unknown :: Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. :: ~Ralph Waldo Emerson :: If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading. :: ~ Lao-Tzu :: The Bible :: For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, .....The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me. :: ~Matthew 25:35,40 :: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find;knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. :: ~Matthew 7:7-8 :: God sets the lonely in families. :: Psalms 68:6 :: Religion that God our Father Accepts as pure and faultless is this:to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. :: ~James 1:27 :: Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. I will say to the north, ..Give them up!' and to the south, ..Do not hold them back.' Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth. :: ~Isaiah 43: 5-6 :: And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me. :: ~Matthew 18:5 :: Like cold water to a weary soul, is good news from a distant land. :: ~Proverbs 25:25 :: The man whispered, "God, speak to me" and a Chickadee sang. But, the man did not hear. So the man yelled "God, speak to me!" And, the thunder rolled across the sky.But, the man did not listen.The man looked around and said, "God let me see you." And a star shined brightly.But the man did not notice. And, the man shouted, "God show me a miracle!" And, a life was born. But, the man did not know. So, the man cried out in despair, "Touch me God, and let me know you are here!" Whereupon, God reached down and touched the man. But, the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on. Don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way that you expect. :: For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But here was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that this was my life. This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness Is the way. :: ~Dr. Alfred D Souza :: Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved. :: ~William J. Bryan :: Praise to thee, Oh Lord, for all creation,Give us thankful hearts that we may see, All the gifts we share and every blessing, All things, come of thee :: ~Jon Rutter :: Look at the World I asked God, "How much time do I have before I die?" He replied, "Enough to make a difference"..... :: ~Unknown :: Silence, they say, is the voice of complicity, but silence is impossible. Silence screams. Silence is a message. Just as doing nothing is an act. Let who you are ring out and resonate in every word and every deed. Yes, become who you are. There's no sidestepping your own being or your own responsibility. What you do is who you are. You are your own comeuppance. You become your own message. You are the message. ~ In the Spirit of Crazy Horse ~ Leonard Peltier ::
