When People Disappoint You!

It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God.  Have you ever had friends you thought would always be there for you, but at the first sight of tragedy they vacated the premises?  One day they’re right beside you, but the very next day they’re no where to be found.  One day you’re sitting around planning your futures, but the next day their plans exclude you.  Have you ever shared your personal life stories with a family member or friend only to later hear your business all over the church, the job, the neighborhood and/or the beauty shop (barber shop)?  You specifically asked that no one tell this information to anyone else.  Now you are in a position where everyone knows your inner feelings.  Have you ever been there?  Are you there now?
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you.  My friend, what do you do When People Disappoint You?  How do you handle the times when the people you trusted the most turn their back on you?  How do you recover from bruises and scars left by people you would give your life to defend?  The Bible declares in Psalms 118:8 - It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.  There are times in our lives when family members and friends, we love and adore so much, will break our hearts.  Whether intentional or not, there are times when you find yourself “all by yourself!”  Not because you chose to make it this way, but because of the disappointments you experienced while dealing with people.  You must understand man makes a lot of promises, which sound good, but the fulfillment of them are never kept.  Be careful not to place your trust in people who have the same potential to fall as you do.
My brother, my sister, what do you do When People Disappoint You?  How do you handle knowing your closest friend has been spreading nasty rumors about you?  How do you handle being rejected by people you try so hard to help?  How do you handle these matters?  The Bible declares in Proverbs 18:24 - A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.  Beloved, there will never be a friend as faithful, loyal and loving as the Lord Jesus Christ.  While many people may argue this point, I know it to be true.  Jesus is the only friend you can tell your deepest, darkest secrets to and know one ever finds out about them.  He is the only one able to handle whatever mood you are in, matter you are facing and mountain you need moved.  Prayer for Today: Father, help me to know You are a friend that will never disappoint me.  In the name of Jesus … Amen!
Scripture Reading for Today: John 15:15-16
May God Bless you at Your point of need!
AMEN.

GOD VS. FORNICATORS @SEX + NO MARRIAGE #fornication #fornicating #fornicated

IT'S TIME FOR US TO LEARN THE SEX LAWS OF GOD ALMIGHTY.  Is God going to forgive those who refuse his laws and rules about sexuality? Or will He punish them?  God already told us (read below). And we thank GOD that there is forgiveness of sins and mistakes available to us, before it's too late.... "Fornication" is defined as "voluntary sexual intercourse between two unmarried persons or two persons not married to each other." "fornicari, ‘to commit fornication,’ from which is derived fornicatio, ‘whoredom, fornication.’" How does God Almighty define a marriage? Jesus Christ teaches: " Have ye not read, that he  [GOD ALMIGHTY]  which made them at the beginning   made them  male  and  female , And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother ,  and shall  cleave  to his  wife : and  they twain shall be  one   flesh ? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore  ...

Reflections on the Love of God. Pt2

1. Point of all this - Romantic love not from Hallmark, Hollywood, etc. a. In fact they usually distort it b. True love, even romantic love, not of this world 2. Romantic love, and every other kind of true love, comes from God a. Need to discard the idea that romantic love is worldly b. Romantic love is of God too 3. Christians are not frigid prudes that do not know what romance is a. Christians are passionate people full of life from the giver of life b. So remember this at anniversaries, birthdays, valentines, every day... c. We serve a God full of passionate love d. Nothing is more godly that displaying God's passionate love to the one whom your soul loves 4. Want to conclude with a story from the newspapers a few years ago a. Early in 2005, John Phipps got called to work early. He boarded a train to work and went to sleep. He was jerked awake and saw smashed bits of train all over the place and a mist falling on his face. It dawned in ...

8 Mindset Shifts To Help You Tap Into A Sense Of Purpose Any Time, Anywhere.

Jim Collins wrote, "It is impossible to have a great life unless it is a meaningful life. And it is very difficult to have a meaningful life without meaningful work." If you’re in the doldrums, craving more meaning in your work life, these mindset shifts will get you on the path to a greater sense of purpose: 1 . Focus on your values. When your main focus is on all the ways your job is lacking, you can lose sight of the many ways that your job may actually be fulfilling. To get more in touch with the ways your job is meaningful, take some time to consider your   core values . To do this, simply write down your top five values, then reflect on how your job aligns with them. For example, if being of service is important to you, consider the ways your job allows you to serve others. If you discover that there’s too much of a disconnect, it might be time to move on.  2. Take small steps. Although it sounds. romantic to abandon everything, move to Bali, and write your...
