Need two feet to balance right? Here are some examples of what we need balance in our lives to prevent a slite tilt. o0O(cheesy)
work and play right and wrong
alert and fatigued forgiving and relentless
cultured and deprived alright and fantastic
cool and loser lazy and motivated
slow and fast shy and outgoing
ugly and sexy goofy and serious
smile and frown pessimist and optimist
content and disatisfied happy and sad
educated and expereinced manipulation and anticipation
fat and skinny friendly and beastily
flaw and perfection poor and rich
social and isolated passionate and emotionless
sick and healthy juvenile and mature
crazy and sane brave and cowardly
polite and rude graceful and clumsy
organized and sloppy trustworthy and deviant
greedy and giving independent and leech
quiet and loud original and unimaginative
strong and fragile enduring and impatient
groomed and grungy chaste and poser
cold and hot sinful and godly...
if you are experienced in these contrasts: you have no right to judge
would be more understanding
execute the concept of mindfulness
make better decisions
except yours and others imperfections
be more considerate
act more compassionate
(some of these concepts are repetitive to amplify the point)
it is said that we are one or the other but by choice we can experience both making life steady

Linked to Faith
God does what it takes to get our attention (Gentle Thunder-Max Lucado)
Faults become mistakes, mistakes become chaos, chaos becomes tragedies. It unfortunately takes a tragedy sometimes for one to want to redeem their existing strategizing. These phases/trials that lead up to suffering can be prevented whether it is recognized during the fault or mistake phase. A trial does not have to end in tragedy. You have to pay attention to the Lords signs for he is directing you to the righteous path. It can be hard to recognize a bad situatuon when you're in the core of the experience. It is wise to have counselors, confidants and accountability partners to be your enhanced senses radar For they are your Guardian Angels. They will foresee Gods signs if the person or situaion are worth your time. Confide in them about hardships, aspirations, ideas, frustrations for we are here for one another. Allowing others you trust to be a part of your decision procedure does not have to make it confusing for in the end you make the final choice. The others are there for support and encouragement as well as their insight on the matter shared. We all have different views and during the decision process the other's concepts given are just seeds do with them what you will in the end. Their ideas are not always the answer nor wrong either. Maybe you didn't use the other person's strategy but it may become useful for another situation. Weigh out the input you recieved with what you came up, pray about it and your final decision you choose should be what you believe is the Lords will for you.
"In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths"- Proverbs 3:6

Gods Gifts
To whom does God offer his gift? To the brightest, the most beautiful or charming? no his gift is for us all... .. He wants us so badly he'll take us in any condition...
(No Wonder they call him Savior-Max Lucado)
Hebrews 12:5-7 n 11 Have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that adresses you as children? it says .. do not make light of the Lord's discipline and do not lose heart when he rebukes you 6because the Lord disciplines those he loves and he chastens everyone he accepts as his children. 7 Endure hardship as discipline...
11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time but painful. Later on how ever it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
The Lord is a fair and glorious enity. He may seem like an enemy during trials and tragedies but really well just look above (Hebrews 12:5-7 n 11) study it reflect on the reading. It is not the Lord who truly disciplines or punishes us we scorn ourselves by the choices we choose upon free will...

Faith n Spirtuality
Faith
What do you have that matters?
I have my faith. It's all I have
but it's all I need. I have kept the faith.
(Apostle Paul): When God Whispers your Name -Max Lucado
Continue to have faith and do what is right. Some people have rejected this and their faith has been shipwrecked- 1 Timothy 1:19
Faith is a higher level of spirtuality (more important then religion) as imagination is more important then knowledge- Albert Einstein or as I like to say wisdom is a higher level of a learning process then knowledge.
Faith all you need is a relationship with God where as religion is systematic to be worthy.. Not to be divisive but for those of you out there that are curious of what the difference between the two, right there is the facts. To have faith you believe in what you can't see.The Lord loves us all whether you have faith, religion or don't believe at all.

Control over Outcome
Control over outcome
... you can choose like many to chain yourself to your hurt or you can choose like some to put away your hurts before they become hates.
How does God deal with your bitter heart?
He reminds you that what you have is more important than what you don't have
- (He still Moves Stones Max Lucado)
for we also have had the good news proclaimed to us just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them because they did not share the faith of those who obeyed
- Hebrews 4:2
Hate like any other test or challenge is a process in which we can either prevent from becoming a disaster or prolonging the trial only to summon upon yourself the worst case scenario at the end. Hate is a secondary feeling. Theres elements that lead up to it: Miss communication, distrust, discouragement... the sooner one recognizes the core of what could become hate the better chance of the fuse to snuff out descolating to normality becoming at ease. Come to terms and learn from that which is upsetting you then let it go.
We are in control of the final out come of the trials we experience.

God's Control of Revenge
"it is mine to avenge; I will repay"+ God declared- Hebrews 10:30
this is the covenant I will make with them... I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds- Hebrew 10:16-17 ... 17 their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more
If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have recieved the knowledge of the truth no sacrifice for sins is left but only a fearful expectation of judgement... Hebrew 10:26-27
...I will look to see what he will say to me, and what answer I am to give to this complaint- Habakkuk 2:1
(once I have said my prayer I will listen for the answer of Gods will for me; best reaction is to carry out and obey his response-LS)
Hebrews 10:30 is my reference from the bible that relates to "it is not I to seek revenge" (from JCR- Jesus Christ Reigns which I made up)
The Lord puts his laws in our hearts and writes them in our mind to include free will giving us the privelege to make our own choice of the path we want to follow as referenced in Hebrews 10:16
bible study this please and thank you
