Minds Thoughts Feelings & Reality

MAN: let’s look at the foundation of man. The salt of this earth, which is considered to be a preservative of life and gives an appearance of value to be accompaniment to what God, has created. The dust, even though the earth is mans foundation; God is the author and creator of his life. “ The earth is the Lords and the fullness there of.” Mans life can sometimes be like the waves on the sea tossed and driven by the decisions he makes in his everydayness. When the wind blows the dust from the ground, where willeth it be gathered up and then laid down again? Do we know? Man must lean and depend on the creator for everything. Everyone and everything has a purpose in life and on this earth. What is our purpose? God gave life unto everybody and everything He created for the purpose of his glory. Reading Genesis, chapter 1 vs. 9-28, God begun to place life into His creation, from the earth bearing grass to man reproducing after His own kind. Our souls purpose should be our reason to live and serve God. There should be no difference in the life we live unto the life that God gives. Unfortunately there is a great difference. It’s only when we have doubt that the minds of people bring about differences (changes) for our purpose. I guess we really don’t get that!

. There are three things that will endure-Faith, Hope and Love- the greatest of these is love. (1^st Corinthians 13: 4-7 and 13:13) Let’s define Faith, Hope, and Love. Faith is belief and trust. Faith in Jesus Christ is essential for salvation. Faith is always active: it is a commitment of both mind and heart. It is when everything looks impossible that faith and courage are put to the test. Many Christians are afraid to admit that they have doubts about their faith. They think others will think less of them or God will punish them if they expressed their true feelings. Many great heroes of the Bible honestly expressed their doubts to God. Even though they had many unanswered questions about their faith. God still used them to do great things. We as children of God should learn to measure our faith. Matthew, chapter 9 according to your faith be it unto you. We must learn to increase our faith through daily blessings. Faith is like prayer to the human mind. Prayer will keep us, but it never seems to satisfy us. Faith through prayer will change the worst to the best in any ones life. A great passage from the foretold of Abraham in the book of Hebrews tells us of a great deal of faith. Abraham would show a great standard of faith. It is not so much a definition of what faith is, as a description of what faith does. Faith provides substance, an assurance to salvation. Faith also provides evidence that results in conviction; conviction is faith relating to the present. This brings me to Hope. “Hope!” Hope is faith relating to the future. We all desire hope. Hope is the lesser demand of faith it drives on the basic of an individual wanting something to happen in their life. Hope is the expectation of good. Genuine hope is not wishful thinking, but a firm assurance about things that are unseen and still in the future, divine certainty. As some look and seeks hope they have to see it through the heart of someone whom are going through and don’t know how to pray, through the heart of someone who has been hurt or never happy but desire to be loved, through the mind of that someone whom never had a chance to experience friendship but have a lot of themselves to offer. These are those whom live with hope needing confident and trust with the expectation of fulfillments. Hope places people with great desires in a level of motivation whereas a comfort zone will develop and they began to love themselves for whom they really are. Faith convicts us, Hope sustains us, but Love will give us everlasting life. Love is deep. Enduring concerns for others’ welfare; affections, and friendship.

MEN OF HONOR

When a man thinks on honors

He should start with God, His creator

The one who has given him life

And made him charge over all that he has created

When a man thinks on honors

He should give thanks unto the Son of God

Jesus, who was sent as a friend and Savior

One who would lay down his life

For the freedom of eternal life

When a man thinks on honors

He should think of his earthly father

One who should set forth standards

Of being a role model to exemplify true mentorship

And guidance as to become a true man, husband, and father
