Everything Happens for a Reason
Jun/0951
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 figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be but 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 never realize your potential, strength, will power or heart.
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. Illness, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test 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 whom 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 about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart.
If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but also because they are teaching you to love and open your heart and eyes to little things. Make every day count. Appreciate everything that you possibly can, for you may never experience it again.
Talk to people whom you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to.
Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you. Create your own life and then go out and live it.
Share this with anyone whom you believe
has made a difference in your life!

If everything were perfection, how would you know happiness ??? What would you compare it to ???
Of course I don’t like pain, unhappiness, and rejection, but I know that JESUS is always waiting for me to turn to Him for answers and comfort. I really think it does make you stronger in your faith. Don’t you???
May GOD bless you, always reader… Blessings, Elizabeth W.

As Jesus Christ said so long ago, so I now repeat to you: “BY THIS SHALL ALL MEN KNOW THAT YE ARE MY DISCIPLES THAT YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER.”
“He who forgets the law and injects into CHURCH the least element of discord, is no longer my disciple in Spirit and in Love. He is simply a disobedient child. All of you have my unstinted Love & Blessing and I hope that the Law of Love shall be your Supreme Law and your guiding principle. Remember, that one man’s opinion is of no importance whatsoever when set over against the principle of Love & Harmony.
A kindergarten teacher has decided to let her class play a game.
The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag containing a few potatoes. Each potato will be given a name of a person that the child hates, so the number of potatoes that a child will put in his/her plastic bag will depend on the number of people he/she hates.
So when the day came, every child brought some potatoes with the name of the people he/she hated. Some had 2 potatoes; some 3 while some up to 5 potatoes.
The teacher then told the children to carry with them the potatoes in the plastic bag wherever they go (even to the toilet) for 1 week.
Days after days passed by, and the children started to complain due to the unpleasant smell let out by the rotten potatoes.
Besides, those having 5 potatoes also had to carry heavier bags. After 1 week, the children were relieved because the game had finally ended.
The teacher asked: “How did you feel while carrying the potatoes with you for 1 week?”
The children let out their frustrations and started complaining of the trouble that they had to go through having to carry the heavy and smelly potatoes wherever they go.
Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the game. The teacher said: “This is exactly the situation when you carry your hatred for somebody inside your heart.
The stench of hatred will contaminate your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go. If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten potatoes for just 1 week, can you imagine what is it like to have the stench of hatred in your heart for your lifetime?”
**********
Moral of the Hatred (Human Vices) story:
Throw away any hatred for anyone from your heart so that you will not carry sins for a lifetime. Forgiving others is the best attitude to take. “Learn to Forgive and Forget.”
IT’S TIME TO ‘ATTONE’ FOR SINS OF ‘REACTING’ TO BROTHER’S ATTACK…..
NOBODY(EVEN THE POPE) CAN MAKE YOU FEEL INFERIOR WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT…ACCEPT EVERYTHING THAT OUR FATHER SENDS TO US …EVEN IF WE KICK AND SCREAM OUR FATHER IS THE ONLY PERSON WHO WILL GIVE US JUST ‘ONE CHANCE’ TO GROW UP AGAIN…ALLOW US TO SEE THE SUNSHINE,RAIN,
GIVING US THE CHANCE TO GROW UP AGAIN.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT :
NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT ‘HIS PERMISSION’
8:28 am on June 16th, 2010
Meaningful message to read and think about!
8:45 am on June 16th, 2010
I’m way far far far far away from PERFECT but read a lot and quite
‘INTUNE’ with Christ’s teachings in THEORY alone.
Yes. I firmly believe that ‘NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION’
And if people are finding it difficult to understand this simple statement, deal
With them(the masses) via a Church meeting or before the sermon advise/educate
These people accordingly. REFRAIN from ‘shooting the messenger’, if at all possible.
Mom says that there is so much depth in these 3 words ‘SILENCE IS GOLDEN’.
I MUST try and give this ‘SILENCE …SHUT UP PROJECT’ a go with immediate effect. In this way
I won’t get abused for other people’s grievances against the new appointment.
We ae just ‘GUESTS’ in your Church and don’t have expectation/complaints
Against Your changes. On behalf of ‘Slepi Hallow I thank You guys for allowing us to attaend Church
In Your district. Nothing else is required. Mom also allocated a name to suggest in my place, so don’t stress,
I’m gone for good, Dearest Sunshine Angel.

Provoking Grace
He asked Father ‘How can we provoke Grace?
Father Replied:
You must learn to forgive others, then You can provoke the Grace of the Father to
Forgive you for what you have done to others. Otherwise your prayers
Will NOT be accepted. FORGIVENESS and REPENTANCE are the same thing. There is NO difference at all.
The Peril of Justice
Don’t know the exact words but Christ said ‘Judge as ye will be judged’
And He said to Father : ‘ Does this mean that the Father will return judgement for this sin?
And Father replied:
What He said was, ‘Judge not, lest ye be judged’. If you want justice
Then you expose yourself to justice.
Christ says: ‘Don’t ask for justice, because then you will be judged yourself, just forgive him.
He says that if you want justice you will have to come back to this world again.
Say’we don’t want justice, we want forgiveness and we want to forgive’.
The Lord is there to forgive ALL of us. We are all struggling souls, and knocking at the same
Door. He will NOT be lagging behind in FORGIVING us, if we are good beggars.
We have nothing to be proud about anyway…ha ha ha
Well, Father concluded.
Love one another
I am happy when my children are smiling , thankful for everything eg. Waking up to the rays of the sun etc,
Most importantly, don’t engage in ‘sinning against the holy ghost’.
The Lord’s name, color, creed, country etc is Love. God is Love and Love is GOD.
God is beyond our comprehension.

the reasons are unknown all is up to god of the universe,, sometimes we try to change the inevitable,,, and run against a brick wall.. as we allow the universe to unfold as it should,,, we learn all these important facts of living , how to love how to forgive and how to pull up our socks and go on ,, to a lovlier life.. as we giv we are given to,,time teaches us the spirit of individuality and personal success we will all learn through pain heartache kindness and happiness to ,, persevere and we WILL be that which we are ment to be…i truely enjoy and embrace this message

Soniye: What a meaningful story about the smart teacher and her students. I enjoyed
it and it was a good lesson… Thanks…
To anyone: If by chance you cannot get the music, hum to yourself a little song…
it works… Have fun… off tune or not, it doesn’t matter… just hummmm.
“Everything happens for a reason.” Sometimes I just don’t understand why things
happen, but GOD knows…

Father just MELTS when I HUM and does NOT is sad when anyone
chooses ‘crocodile tears’ instead of Humming. He said to me:
I’m proud of You Soniye and appreciate it when You say that everything
Is between the disciple and the Father. You must realize that You are
Destined to be a Gospel Singer so come HOME and practice. Your
Love for me captivates my very being.But Father, I said I know NOTHING
About voice control, raags etc, me is not an expert and Qualified. Father replied:
You just require Love..ma Degree in Love and Trust Your Father, Dear…HE
DOES NOT CALL THE QUALIFIED, HE QUALIFIES THE CALLED.
Thank You Father. One more thing Soniye. Do You remember the quote
About Christ saying that He will go out and fetch the sheep that went ‘ASTRAY’.
I said Oh Yeah. Christ is soooo mercifully Cool. He even gives His other cheek for slapping.
Halleluyah! Well Soniye, I want to to share this secret with everyone. I said ‘Yes Father’
‘NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION’. Just between You and I, when
People are straying and making themselves nuinsances to peoples loved ones etc, they
Need some ‘music in their lives’ so don’t judge them. What did I do, Father?
You did NOT do anything Beta, You just need to Trust Your Father, that’s all. Remember’amidst the
Chaos is a Divine Order’. Yeah! Tell me sumthin new, Father. He was amused
But just said sometimes it appears that someone is ‘favoured’ so to speak but in actual
Fact that person requires support of the spiritual family because they need serious help
Although they are the qualified in advising others. Their lives have fallen apart and Jesus will make them wole
Again as Your Father in not Biased to anyone, right. So this person needs the Church work much more than
Your shhattered friend does. I am NOT angry, Soniye. You guys are all fighting to work for me.
I have NO option to shed ‘buckets of tears’ so don’t forget this is a ‘blessing in disguise’.
I love all my children, Soniye but I have a ‘soft spot’ for You so make Father proud
And work side by side with Your Dad in His many ventures. Don’t forget that we are the A TEAM.
Take care Murdoch! I said , Right on…Captain Hanibel…MWAH!
