Being The Lord's Servant

Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.

Colossians 3:23-24 (New Living Translation)

Friends / Friendship

it has been a very long time since i have last wrote something due to my laziness and my busy life.. now, i have come out with something which is very important in our lives..

what is it?? it is our friends..

we all realize that we can't stand alone when the dark clouds roll in, we all need someone beside us.. the first thing we need is God for God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not parish but have eternal life. John 3:16

we realize that we need help-we need others.. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 explains that two are better than one, and three may be even better than that. There is strength that we gain and give to one another. Tasks are easier and our attitudes are more positive. We are grateful for someone who guards our back.

to be a friend, do not suck up, provoke or back stab Ur friends.. we have to be open-minded and positive in every relationships that we are in.. we must have faith, hope and love for our friends.. let me share something here, b4 this i don't trust my friend, I've asked him something and he said he don't have it.. when he is around I've acted like I'm trusting him but when he is not around, i searched for the thing and it is true that he don't have it.. i feel so disappointed of myself during that time.. from that day onwards, i keep reminding myself to trust my friends.. so you too should have done that if you have not..

A friend is a treasure. If we want friends, we must be friendly. Humans are social creatures—that is how God made us. Joy and fulfillment are found in the company of others. Giving, sharing and helping have rewards that go beyond dollars. If you have a friend, treasure him or her; if you are a friend, be a good one.

I'm writing this because i know that it is not too late to change and God wants us to change.. so be a friend to others..

dear Lord, thank you for all you've done for us here.. we thank for our friends.. forgive us for our sin and our mistakes b4 this o God.. help us to change and live a better life.. change us and use us o God.. we surrender everything into your hands, in Jesus name i pray, Amen.
