Helping People grow!
The point is that no one is alive who was a slave, thus they don’t deserve anything. Some people want millions of dollars because someone in their family a century or so back was a slave, but was that slave a millionaire, nope, so since today’s people were not ripped off of millions of dollars of inheritance they shouldn’t get paid out in money, but guess what, today they are free, so they should be grateful for that and leave it at that.

You may not feel that you deserve much,
but be assured that it is human nature to look forward to better things.
♦
It should be a comforting thought to know that things could be better, and that we could be better people.
We should want to be respected and loved.
We like to love and enjoy peoples company.
We like to experiment, to discover and explore.
It is natural to want to be closer to God.
Desiring a peaceful life that has meaning is normal.
Wanting a happy marriage and a good family is a natural thing to want.
Self correction is normal.
Adjusting from one situation to another is natural.
Wanting to be a better person is normal too.
It is natural to make mistakes. A mature person will make mistakes and feel happy that they have eliminated one attempt to try something, now they will try something else.
Mature stable people see mistakes as a part of learning. Immature people laugh at peoples mistakes.
If we have a hard life and bad upbringing then we often don’t know how to use our natural skills, we don’t believe in ourselves, and because of this we fail ourselves.
If you want to be a more pleasant humble person then continue on that path. Desire to fill the soul with new learning that will bring you closer to God.
Believe that you deserve better. You deserve as much as anyone else. Be sure of that.
Believe God. He says that you are forgiven, now act like you are gratefully forgiven and improve you and your life. Accept God’s blessings always. If God says that you deserve it then you do.

Are we turning down good friendships because our current crowd frown on it yet we connect with that person so well?
True friends and caring family back us up, and support our choices for furthering our circle and because they know we must experience life our own way. They back us up even if the choices we make are not what they agree to or would make.
○
We have become a world of people who are shepherded by the opinions of others. Many people have said that they were married because it seemed right at the time and “everyone thought that it was a good idea” and it ended in divorce because they found out in the end that they didn’t really love each other.
○
Once in the habit of people pleasing and fearing that we may disappoint other people’s opinions we can just go with the flow for our entire life. But that will never make us happy, it just makes other people happy. There should always come a time in peoples lives when they should break away and take some risks and do what they have wanted to do or what they think is a right choice for them and not the choice of the crowd, family etc. If we don’t do this we will never truly be happy.
⚪
And the only way to not be a people pleaser and to bow down to peer pressure is to do what the others say we shouldn’t do, and do it because we wanted to do it but feared others opinions.

Some people may ask,
“Why doesn’t God change the world today?”
🔸
⚪
If we want a better world then it is people that must change, because we are currently our own worse enemy.

Character Assassination is so common these days and a very successful way of destroying lives that more investigation is needed to weed the liars out from the people telling the truth and trying to defend their rights and reputation.
A fair system would have it that it did not matter how rich, titled or educated the accuser is they should still be investigated along with the accused, and the accused should be listened to with just as much respect and belief as the accuser.
⚪
And even if the law considers the accuser as an honest upright citizen he or she should still be investigated, possibly by a person who does not know that person, because the law should be that “all people” are not guilty until proven so. All people rich or poor should be treated with complete respect and given a fair chance and a fair trial before the authorities gather to support the wealthy, titled or educated accuser/s.
Democracy was supposed to be designed on fairness, people’s rights, and that we all get a fair trial as each other.

Psalm 23, verses 1 – 6:
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Sure enough, there was the dog. Just sitting there howling in pain. He knocked on the front door and when his neighbor appeared he asked, “Is that your dog?”
The neighbor said, “Yes he’s mine.”
The man asked, “Why’s he howling?”
The neighbor replied, “Because he is sitting on a nail.”
The man asked, “Well why doesn’t he just move?!”
The neighbor replied, “Because it obviously doesn’t hurt enough.”
So the question I put to you is, Are you in discomfort?
– Author Unknown.
Just how must discomfort do you have to be in before you will finally move?
And like the dog if he had moved earlier he wouldn’t now be in any discomfort, so whats holding you back from making that life choice that will take away the discomfort in your life and bring comfort back.
Pain is a warning that something is wrong with your physical body. Discomfort is the same thing. It may not be intense pain but it is still pain that is warning you that things are not going to get better. So move. Do what you have to do. Make that change and get away from that discomfort. That long term discomfort that has been bothering you is not going to help you. It is uncomfortable because it has always failed you.
This isn’t about running from responsibilities, this is about something bothering you physically or spiritually, and it bothers you enough to give you spiritual discomfort. And that is a warning that things are not going to get better for you unless you do something about it.
A thing about things getting better is that we may have to face a small amount of discomfort (fear, worries etc) to get off the nail that is causing us stress and never ending worries etc. We have to be brave, get out of our comfort zone and do what needs doing.
There comes a time when we need to “wake up” and be brave. Trust God to lead you through it.

Friendships begun in this world can be taken up again in heaven , never to be broken off. – Francis de Sales.
Blessed are they who tenderly seek to comfort another and never run out of compassion and grace. –
Janet L Weaver Smith.
When God gives a friend. He is entrusting us with the care of another’s heart. It is a chance to…be a Life giver. – Stadium Eldredge.

As long as the person wasn’t a direct threat to the community (violent etc) then crime will be of a nature that a community can afford (like theft) and a concentrated effort based on unconditional love and compassion this person can be shown the light.
Love is the answer that changes people from deep within one person to another.
If the community really cares about one another they will want with all their hearts to see dishonest people become honest people and they will go out of their way to help bring about honest change in these troubled souls.
It does not matter who the person is, where they come from, or what their past was, love will find a way when people genuinely want to see people helped and they really care for others.

The happy ending is that she finds out that she got it all wrong and poor Eddie was going crazy trying to let her know that he loves her.
People, please don’t let other people interfere. Love is between two people not family, friends and relatives, its just two people.
So much peace would be on the planet if people wouldn’t interfere and they would just let love find its way in every heart and fill the souls with what they need, a forever partner in marriage.
