Helping People grow!
The tears stop falling when we accomplish the calling of our heart!
“The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours — it is an amazing journey — and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.” – Bob Moawad.
I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. – Elie Wiesel.
There is a clear message here.

These wise scriptures from the past are about love (God is love), not personal gain, not status in the world, not money, not self satisfaction, just love and following God with all our hearts and souls and commitment, and act the ways of God in all that we think, say and do..
○
1 John Chapter 2, verse 15:
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
○

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
○
1 John Chapter 4, verse 16-18:
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
○
1 John Chapter 4, verse 20:
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
○
1 John Chapter 5, verse 3:
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

The wise learn from tragedy,
The foolish merely repeat it!
– Michael Novak.

Each and every person is a miracle in their own way.
Each one “touches” other people in good and bad ways, but spiritually touch them they do.
We learn from one another, we reach one another.
We teach one another and we are not a teacher, just by living and interacting with our fellow persons we teach, guide, and even learn ourselves.
We can learn from the youngest to the oldest.

Punishment and discipline sometimes feel the same to one on the receiving end! But the sharp difference can be seen in both the attitude and the goal of the one doing it. The attitude behind punishment is anger and indignation, and its goal is justice; the attitude behind discipline is love, and its goal is the benefit and development of the person. – Bob George.
An amazing thing happens when you get honest with yourself and start doing what you love, what makes you happy. You stop wishing for the weekend. You stop merely looking forward to special events. You begin to live in each moment and you start feeling like a human being. You just ride the wave that is life, with this feeling of contentment and joy. You move fluidly, steadily, calm and grateful. A veil is lifted, and a whole new perspective is born. – Author Unknown.

Say what you need to say, do what you need to do, be who you need to be, and live the way you need to live for you.
A Lot Of Problems In The World Would Disappear If We Would Talk To Each Other And Not About Each Other – Author Unknown.

I also learned that when I did growl at someone for a mistake they would at some future time witness me doing something foolish and wrong, and then I would have to deal with shame etc, and possibly a toxic comment from them as well.
I discovered that if I was nice to people from the start when they made a mistake then they would learn from the mistake due to my help, advice, encouragement and understanding, and I would never have them judge me later on when I did the same sort of mistake myself. We are all winners if we think, live and act like this.
⚪
We are all works in progress, none are perfect, none will ever be perfect, but as human beings we are all worthy, and we deserve just as much as everyone else.
The secret is to help each other out so that we won’t make the same mistake twice, that would be nice, but it takes humble souls to do this and people who genuinely want to see a better world.

You can do or be whatever you want on your own life.
Nothing can stop you, except your own fears.
Don’t blame anyone else…you have the power to make the decision. Just do it!
– Nola Diamantopoulos.
I see it as a learning thing and how we react to it. If we don’t react then it comes back and we can take all sorts of steps to avoid it, and we can try very hard to do something else and pretend that it isn’t happening (denial), we can fake our caring about it by pretending that we don’t care, that it isn’t there and that it is not important to our own life, but back it comes.
It can be a person who we wronged in the past and over and over again we see that person over the years, obvious we need to get right with that person and right the wrongs.
It can be a person who has wronged us and who we see often because they are stuck in this loop that they refuse to deal with and prefer to get on with life hoping that you will just go away, I guess they think that they are so great and important that they need you gone (so they feel guilty no longer) and you can just be miserable the rest of your life.
It could be someone we are in love with but for whatever reasons we went away, bit we constantly see that person over and over again – I guess feelings need to be sorted out and explantation made because someone is still hurting.
I would imagine that lack of communication is the main cause of such things, and also doing some one wrong and not fixing that up.
You want confidence and courage, and you can have it once you do what it is that you have been running from.

People say that they believe in God, yet they don’t live a straight and narrow good decent life. God wants to see them in their best character, but they cannot be so if they have done someone harm and then refuse to fix up what they have done wrong. Pretending that we did right, that we are not guilty of anything changes nothing. Getting right, facing the past, who we did wrong to, and fixing it up will obviously be the only thing that will set things right.
People pray, say, “Let me be a great follower of you, let me be a wonderful soul, give me grace, show me the way.” and when God does they run. If we want to be all these good things then we got to face the truths, do the hard miles, do what is needed and walk in love. No one said that doing what is right was easy, but it still needs to be done.

“What we call chaos is just patterns we haven’t recognized.
What we call random is just patterns we can’t decipher.”
– Chuck Palahniuk.

Everybody is worth something, and everyone was born for a purpose.
A rough life, some words of discouragement and over time we can come to believe that we are trash, worthless. With that belief we can live as if we don’t count, and will never really amount to anything, we can even find false reasons to deny ourselves real caring love, and instead taking what we can get.
If we believe we are trash then we don’t expect anything of ourselves, we let ourselves down.
But we can find ourselves again when we learn about God, forgiveness, being humble and life. We also learn that we have a purpose and with that discovery we can grow towards that purpose and mature spiritually.

Any negative feelings towards someone will get in the way of a good relationship.
