"Some people have a lot of faith in God and are serving God and their lives aren't lining up with what God has planned for them.You are not to just learn scripture. You are to live scripture.Your life is a gift and your body is a temple of God. Until we value ourselves, we violate ourselves. This doesn't just mean in the flesh but in the spirit.

Life...Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away, that they were meant to be there... to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be but when you lock eyes with them, you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way. And sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection, you realize that without overcoming those obstacles, you would have never realized your potential, strength, will power, or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity, all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless. The people you meet affect your life. The successes and downfalls that you experience, can create who you are and the bad experiences, can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them because they have helped you learn

A wonderful Message by George Carlin:The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildingsbut shorter tempers,wider freeways,but narrower viewpoints. We spend more,but have less,we buy more, but enjoy less.We have bigger houses and smaller families,more conveniences,but less time.We have more degreesbut less sense,more knowledge, but less judgment,more experts,yet more problems,more medicine,but less wellness.We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly,laugh too little, drive too fast,get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired,read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.We have multiplied our possessions,but reduced our values.We talk too much, love too seldom,and hate too often.We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.We've added years to life not life to years.We've been all the way to the moon and back,but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor.We conquered outer space but not inner space.We've done larger things, but not better things.We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.We write more, but learn less.We plan more, but accomplish less.We've learned to rush, but not to wait.We build more computers to hold more information,to produce more copies than ever,but we communicate less and less.These are the times of fast foods and slowdigestion, big men and small character, steepprofits and shallow relationships.These are the days of two incomes but more divorce,fancier houses, but broken homes.These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers,throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies,and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.It is time when there is much in the showroom window andnothing in the stockroom.A time when technology can bring this letter to you,and a time when you can choose either to share this insight,or to just hit delete.Remember, spend some time with your loved ones,because they are not going to be around forever.Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up toyou in awe, because that little person soon willgrow up and leave your side.Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you,because that is the only treasure you can give withyour heart and it doesn't cost a cent.Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner andyour loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss andan embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment forsomeday that person will not be there again.Give time to love, give time to speak, and give timeto share the precious thoughts in your mind.AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:Life is not measured by the number of breaths wetake, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Glitter Graphics - GlitterLive.com BELOVED, LET US LOVE ONE ANOTHER, FOR LOVE IS OF GOD; AND EVERYONE WHO LOVES IS BORN OF GOD AND KNOWS GOD.HE WHO DOES NOT LOVE DOES NOT KNOW GOD, FOR GOD IS LOVE.~1 JOHN 4:7-8
BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO ENDURES TEMPTATION; FOR WHEN HE HAS BEEN APPROVED, HE WILL RECEIVE THE CROWN OF LIFE WHICH THE LORD HAS PROMISED TO THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.LET NO ONE SAY WHEN HE IS TEMPTED, " I AM TEMPTED BY GOD"; FOR GOD CANNOT BE TEMPTED BY EVIL, NOR DOES HE HIMSELF TEMPT ANYONE.BUT EACH ONE IS TEMPTED WHEN HE IS DRAWN AWAY BY HIS OWN DESIRES AND ENTICED.THEN, WHEN DESIRE HAS CONCEIVED, IT GIVES BIRTH TO SIN: AND SIN, WHEN IT IS FULL-GROWN, BRINGS FORTH DEATH.DO NOT BE DECEIVED, MY BELOVED BRETHREN.EVERY GOOD GIFT AND EVERY PERFECT GIFT IS FROM ABOVE, AND COMES DOWN FROM THE FATHER OF LIGHTS, WITH WHOM THERE IS NO VARIATION OR SHADOW OF TURNING.OF HIS OWN WILL HE BROUGHT US FORTH BY THE WORD OF TRUTH, THAT WE MIGHT BE A KIND OF FIRSTFRUITS OF HIS CREATURES.SO THEN, MY BELOVED BRETHREN, LET EVERY MAN BE SWIFT TO HEAR, SLOW TO SPEAK, SLOW TO WRATH;FOR THE WRATH OF MAN DOES NOT PRODUCE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD.THEREFORE LAY ASIDE ALL FILTHINESS AND OVERFLOW OF WICKEDNESS, AND RECEIVE WITH MEEKNESS THE IMPLANTED WORD, WHICH IS ABLE TO SAVE YOUR SOULS.BUT BE DOERS OF THE WORD, AND NOT HEARERS ONLY, DECEIVING YOURSELVES.FOR IF ANYONE IS A HEARER OF THE WORD AND NOT A DOER, HE IS LIKE A MAN OBSERVING HIS NATURAL FACE IN A MIRROR;FOR HE OBSERVES HIMSELF, GOES AWAY, AND IMMEDIATELY FORGETS WHAT KIND OF MAN HE WAS.BUT HE WHO LOOKS INTO THE PERFECT LAW OF LIBERTY AND CONTINUES IN IT, AND IS NOT A FORGETFUL HEARER BUT A DOER OF THE WORK, THIS ONE WILL BLESSED IN WHAT HE DOES.IF ANYONE AMONG YOU THINKS HE IS RELIGIOUS, AND DOES NOT BRIDLE HIS TONGUE BUT DECEIVES HIS OWN HEART, THIS ONE'S RELIGION IS USELESS.PURE AND UNDEFINED RELIGION BEFORE GOD AND THE FATHER IS THIS: TO VISIT ORPHANS AND WIDOWS IN THEIR TROUBLE, AND TO KEEP ONESELF UNSPOTTED FROM THE WORLD.~JAMES 1:12-27~JAMES 1:
So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. ~1 Corinthians 10:12-13
