MAIL FROM GOD


When you got up this morning,  I observed you, and I hoped you would talk to me. No matter if they were only few words, asking my opinion or just giving thanks for something that happened to you yesterday. But I noticed that you were very busy  looking for the appropriate clothes  to wear and to go to work.
I continued hoping, While you were doing things in a hurry,
I knew that there were still some minutes for you to stop for a moment and tell me “Hello!”, But you were too much busy. This is why I lighted the sky for you, I filled it with colors and beautiful songs of birds . To see if you would hear me
But you did not notice  this
I observed you while going to work . And I waited patiently the whole day. With all your activities I suppose you were too much busy to tell me something. While you were coming back I noticed your tiredness and I wanted to shower upon you some water to take away your stress, I wanted to make you a favor so that you would think of me,
But you got angry and offended my name.
I really wished you would talk to me… there was still enough time. Later on you turned on the televisión. I waited patiently while you were watching it and having your supper,
But you forgot again to talk to me. I noticed that you were tired and I understood your silence, so I darkened the clarity of the sky, But I did not leave you in darkness, I just changed it with a small light,
it was really beautiful, but you were not interested in seeing it . At the time of sleeping, I think you were already exhausted. After saying good night to your family, you lay on your bed and fell asleep almost instantly, I accompanied your sleep with music, my night animals did very well,  No problem, because you might  not realize that I am always there for you.
I have more patience than what you can imagine.
I would like to teach you also  how to be patient with others. I LOVE YOU so much that I wait every day  for a prayer. The landscape that I make  is only for you … Well, you are getting up again  . And I hope again, just out of my love for you
May you have a nice day !!!!
Your friend God
P.S. Will you have time to share this to another person  ???

OBSTACLES ARE FOR OVERCOMING

                                                   OBSTACLES ARE FOR OVERCOMING
Life is born of struggle.   To enter this world, a baby must leave the comfort and security of the womb and make a difficult and perilous passage through the narrow birth canal. Before an eagle can soar to the heavens, it must push and peck its way out of the egg. Before a butterfly can delight us with its colors and grace, it must escape from its cocoon.

Why Does God allow Troubles
Well, there are many reasons, but they can best be summed up in one word: benefits.

He sees the benefits!
Tests and trials strengthen and shape our character. They make us better people and better Christians.
If you ever feel like the tests, trials and battles are more than you can bear and you just can’t make it, remember, the Lord is greater than they are!   Take them to Him! -- DAVID BRANDT BERG
When going through a rough time, it helps to put your troubles in perspective by considering what some others have gone through. While we may expect God to put an end to our problems right now. He may know that later is a better time. God’s timing is impeccable Trust Him!
Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. -- HELEN KELLER (deaf and blind her whole life)

In sickness let me not so much say, “Am I getting better of my pain?” as, “Am I getting better for it?”-- WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Reflect upon your blessings – of which every man has many – not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some. -- CHARLES DICKENS
“All things work together for good!” Romans 8:28
Helen Keller was both deaf and blind, yet she learned to write and even speak, and has encouraged and inspired hundreds of millions – “handicapped” and “whole” alike. “I thank God for my handicaps,” she said, “for through them I have found myself, my work, and my God.”
John Milton was blind when he wrote England’s greatest epic poem, Paradise Lost. So was Fanny Crosby when she wrote more than 6,000 hymns. Beethoven was deaf when he wrote some of his greatest symphonies.

We shouldn’t run from troubles, or cower when they loom ahead. We should ask God to lift us above them on the wings of prayer. Many things that seem to us to be curses are in fact gifts from God, oddly packaged. If God is working in your life to bring out a special quality, the process may take some time.
Lumps of coal aren’t turned to diamonds overnight; so it is with our lives.
When you think you’ve reached the end of your rope, just hold on a little longer. Patience is often the key that opens the door to God’s blessings, sometimes we must be content to wait for His answer.
Tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope.” Romans 5:3-4
Difficult times deepen us. They help us move from the shallow plane of daily routines and the mad rush called modern living into the deeper realm of the spirit. And we experience God’s power to pull us through the difficult times, it gives us faith and hope that He will take care of us through whatever storms may come our way.
Our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory… Things don’t just happen to children of God; they’re part of a wonderful plan. The troubles, reverses, the sorrows, the rod are strokes of the Great Sculptor’s hand.

If we suffer, we shall also reign.” (2 Corinthians 4:17; Timothy 2:12There is One who sees and understands exactly what you’re going through. He cares for you more deeply than you will ever know in this life, and He wants to help you lead a full, happy, productive life that touches and enriches the lives of many others.

If you haven’t yet, you can ask Him to come into your heart by praying the following:
“Dear Jesus, I want the gifts of eternal life, love, and purpose that You offer. I open my life and heart to you now, and accept you as my Savior. Please forgive me for all the wrongs I’ve done, give me a fresh start, and help me get to know you and your love. Amen

LIFE IS LIKE A TRAIN RIDE

                                                              
 LIFE IS LIKE A TRAIN RIDE

Life is like a train ride. We get on. We ride. We get off. We get back on and ride some more. There are accidents and there are delays. At certain stops there are surprises. Some of these will translate into great moments of joy, some will result in profound sorrow.

When we are born and we first board the train, we meet people whom we think will be with us for the entire journey. Those people are our parents. Sadly, this is far from the truth. Our parents are with us for as long as we absolutely need them. They too have journeys they must complete. We live on with the memories of their love, affection, friendship, guidance and their ever presence.

There are others who board the train and who eventually become very important to us, in turn.These people are our brothers, sisters, friends and acquaintances, whom we will learn to love, and cherish
Some people consider their journey like a jaunty tour. They will just go merrily along .Others, will encounter many upsets, tears, losses on their journey. Others still, will linger on to offer a helping hand to anyone in need. Some people on the train will leave an everlasting impression when they get off. Some will get on and get off the train so quickly, they will scarcely leave a sign that they ever traveled along with you  or ever crossed your path.

We will sometimes be upset that some passengers whom we love, will choose to sit in another compartment and leave us to travel on our own. Then again, there’s nothing that says we can’t seek  them out anyway. Nevertheless, once sought out and found,  we may not even be able to sit next to them because that  seat will already be taken.

That’s okay everyone’s journey will be filled with hopes, dreams, challenges, setbacks and goodbyes. We must strive to make the best of it no matter what. We must constantly strive to understand our travel companions and  look for the best in everyone.
Remember that at any moment during our journey, any one of our travel companions can have a weak moment and be in need of our help.  We too may vacillate or hesitate, even trip… hopefully we can count on someone being there to be supportive and understanding.

The bigger mystery of our journey is that we don’t know when our last stop will come.  Neither do we know when our travel companions will make their last stop. Not even those sitting in the seat next to us. Personally, I know I’ll be sad to make my final stop. I’m sure of it!

My separation from all those friends and acquaintances I made during the train ride will be painful. Leaving all those I’m close to will be a sad thing. But then again, I’m certain that one day I’ll get to the main station only to meet up with everyone else. They’ll all be carrying their baggage… most of which they didn’t have when they first got on this train.

I’ll be glad to see them again. I’ll also be glad to have contributed to their baggage… and to have enriched their lives, just as much as they will have contributed to my baggage and enriched my life.

We’re all on this train ride together. Above all, we should all try to strive to make the ride as pleasant and memorable as we can, right up until we each make the final stop and leave the train for the last time.

All aboard!
Safe journey!!
BON VOYAGE!
