Signs God Wants You with Someone

Everyone wants to love and be loved. In short, love is one of the ultimate needs that each human has to meet. Unfortunately, however, many people searching for true love end up being broken-hearted because the person they chose was not the right one for them. For devoted Christians, relying on God’s wisdom is necessary to help them find the right person. They have faith that if they marry a person according to God’s will for them, they are more likely to have a successful and fruitful marriage.

1. You Feel Comfortable And At Peace When That Someone Is Around. Another sign that you and your partner are meant to be is the peace you feel in your heart. It means that you are comfortable enough to be yourself around that person. Also, you have no inhibitions, and you feel sure that you want to marry that individual. 2. The Two Of You Have A Proven And Tested Friendship Even Before The Relationship. One good sign that God has fated you to be together is your solid friendship. If you and your partner have started being good friends, you are so blessed. Most successful relationships and marriages start with friendship. It allows the couple to get to know each other well before committing to love each other. Thank God if your partner is your best friend. 3. You Know There Is True Love Between You. God would never want you to be stuck in a relationship without true love. Is your love for each other unconditional, selfless, and goes beyond physical attraction and intimacy? If yes, then it is the real thing. 4. The Two Of You Aim To Put God At The Center Of Your Lives And Relationship. God is indeed pleased with your relationship if you strive to make Him its center. Be assured that you have His favor if you both are doing your best to live godly lives. Of course, this will include keeping your relationship pure and a blessing to God and others.

Keep Asking For Wisdom These are all signs, and not all may be present in your relationship. However, you should not immediately conclude that you and your partner are not meant to be. Do not be entirely hopeless that the person you love is really the one for you. James 1:5 says, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” Until God’s answer becomes clear to you, do not give up asking for wisdom. The verse promised that the Lord would generously give wisdom to everyone who asks. Also, ask Him to help you and your partner become better Christians and use your relationship to give glory to Him.

Love and Sex

Sexual connection is a vital aspect of most romantic relationships, but it’s not always as central as people may think. Partners have sex for self-interested reasons—it feels good and can boost self-esteem; and for relationship-focused reasons—it enhances closeness and pleases someone they love. Over the long term, most couples will face sexual challenges, as bodies change with age and individuals’ desire for sex waxes and. Research consistently shows that most couples struggle to talk about sex honestly, but that when they do, it brings them closer together.

Love also brings people together, but it takes more than love to stay together. Many of us know couples that broke up despite believing that they were in love with each other, because of one partner’s infidelity or because of distance or circumstance. But even in long-term stable relationships, partners who feel that they are in love may grow apart, if one believes that they are not emotionally safe in the relationship, or that it lacks passion or intimacy.

Fall In Love

When we fall in love we generally believe it’s until death do us part. What we feel is a grand rapture. My mother used to tell me that love is the feeling you feel when you’re about to feel a feeling that you never felt before. Not very helpful for a teenager trying to understand her emotions, but most of us recognize what my mom was trying to tell me: romantic love is special, unique, like nothing else we’ve experienced.

There’s no question that the early stages of a relationship can be confusing. You might puzzle over your own feelings, and wonder what the person you’re dating really thinks of you. Your own emotions may be difficult to fully decipher, and trying to categorize them as falling in love or as just a passing attraction can be tricky. Falling in love is a uniquely intense period of time for anyone. But we need to sort out a lot of other questions during a falling-in-love phase: Beyond clear attraction, is this person someone who will support you, respect you, understand you, and be compassionate with you? And does this person share your values and priorities?

If you're lucky, putting in the time and effort during this initial period will pay off, and your mutual attraction can transition into a more stable and long-term relationship.

How to Know Whom You Can Trust

Before our trust can be lost, we first have to give it out. For some people, we make them earn our trust, but for others, we freely give it away. “Trust is both an emotional and logical act.” On one hand, it is a feeling. If we have some familiarity with a person, that is if they share something meaningful with us such as culture, values, or even community, we are more likely to give them our trust without expecting them to earn it first. According to author Simon Sinek, “When we’re surrounded by people who believe what we believe, something remarkable happens, trust emerges.” On the other hand, before we are willing to do business with a stranger, we want some assurance that they will provide what is expected.

It’s not surprising that dysregulated eaters, who often have little self-trust, also have difficulty with knowing whether or not to trust others. Knowing who to trust is a learned ability, a skill. One way to assess trust is through verification. Another is by recognizing what people do when they feel guilty. The motivation behind trust is to find someone who cares enough about us that we can rely on them. But, that desire involves risk. When we trust someone, we make ourselves vulnerable to that person. We give that person the power to hurt us. Do you know if the person you want to trust cares about you? If not, then you might want to make them prove their trustworthiness first.

Family Love Is One Of The Best Things In The World

It's easy to say, "I love my family," but family love is about more than these simple words. Family love is a special type of love that comes with its unique feelings, behaviors, challenges, and rewards. Once you understand what it truly is, you can learn how to build family relationships by genuine love and care.

What Is Family? A family isn't necessarily about blood relations-it's a group of people that function as a unit. Often, but not always, this includes parents and children. Family can also mean all the descendants of a common ancestor. Some people consider their friends like family. However, when we speak of family love, the love you have with your friends might or might not fit, depending on what type of relationship you have. What Is Love? Love is a word that's been used in so many ways, it's nearly lost its meaning. We may say we love ice cream or skiing when what we mean is that we enjoy it. Love is of course commonly used to describe romantic or sexual feelings and behaviors. In the context of family love, the term refers to bonds characterized by deep affection, respect, loyalty, and healthy attachment. Family relationships are different from other types of bonds. The following characteristics of family love set it apart from other types of love relationships.

How to Calm a Fussy Baby

As cute and loveable as they are, babies can be extremely difficult to deal with when they’re fussy, especially if you’re by yourself and there is nobody around to help you.
The first thing you should know are some reasons why babies cry. If you can identify the source of your baby’s discomfort, then you’ll be more able to come up with a solution to calm them down.

Why do babies cry?

• They are too warm or too cold
• They’re hungry
• They have a dirty diaper
• They’re tired or restless
• They have allergies
• They have an illness (cough, cold, flu, etc.)
• They want comfort from being held or pacifying
• Breastfed babies can have a reaction to mom eating certain foods

• Here are some suggestions you can try to help calm your fussy baby.

  Music – Play a calming lullaby cd for your baby.
  Wind Chimes – Hang some wind chimes in your house and let your baby play with them.
  Infant Massage – This method is becoming more and more popular. Massaging your baby is proven to help calm him and create a new bonding experience.
  Fart – No, not you! Get your baby to pass gas. A common cause of fussiness is a gassy tummy. Try bending their legs to help ease their stomach pains.
  White Noise – A fan or static on a radio can create a soothing sound for babies because it mimics the sounds of the womb.
  Nursing – If you breastfeed your baby, this can be one of the best ways of calming her down.
  Hold your baby – Despite what many people say, you won’t spoil your baby by holding him. By comforting him when he needs you, you are building trust.
  Get some air – If your baby is a little older, he may enjoy going outside for a walk in the stroller. Many interesting things are waiting to be seen outdoors.
  Put on a video – Baby Einstein is great for bored babies. They love the music and colors. This is a great opportunity for you to sit with your baby and help them learn by pointing out objects and naming them as they see them.
  Swaddle – Most newborns like to be swaddled because it makes them feel like they are back in your tummy.
  Dance – Turn on some tunes and dance with your baby. This can also be a great bonding experience.
  Sleep – Lay down with your baby and see if they fall asleep. They may just want to rest but want to stay close to you.
  Mirror – Sit your baby in front of an unbreakable mirror. Babies love to see their own reflection.
  Time out – Take your baby to a quiet place. Their fussiness could be caused by overstimulation. They may just need some time to settle down.
  Swing – Buy a baby swing or sit in your own garden swing. The rocking motion mimics the motion of being inside the womb and is great for calming baby.
  Drive - Many parents resort to taking their baby for a car ride. Be sure not to use this method too much as your baby may start to depend on it for going to sleep.
  Your voice – Try holding your baby to your chest and talk to her or someone else. The sound of your calm voice can be soothing to your fussy baby.
  If all else fails, gently put your baby in the crib and close the door. Go to a quiet room and take a few deep breaths. If you’re alone, ask a neighbor or a close family member or friend to come over and help you out.
  
  
  

JESUS IS LORD

A week later His disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them.  Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!”  Then He said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands.  Reach out your hand and put it into my side.  Stop doubting and believe.”

            Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

          Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed”  (John 20:26-29).  An angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.”  (Jesus was conceived in Mary, not by a man but by the Holy Spirit of God.)  “She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name JESUS, because he will save his people from their sin.”

Indebted Through Prayer

This is a study of who and how God calls upon us to pray. Jesus gave direction in Mark 6:9-10 "This then, is how you should pray: ' Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven…" Christ also said in John 17:8-9 "…I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours". Also in John 17:20-21 "My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me."

Clearly the Lord does not ask we pray for Saint and Demon in the same way, nor obey the authority of God and the authority of Satan in the same way, yet those obedient in the Lord must submit themselves to the Office or Position of authority God establishes. Understand it is the spiritual realm in which God speaks of in Offices and Authorities, regarding authorities in this realm there are those within the will of God, and those in rebellion to the will of God- yet fulfills His purpose. At the same time before all authorities, if given a word by God, we are to speak boldly as in Matt 10:27-28 "What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the rooftops. Do not be afraid of those who can kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body."

It is true we are commanded to love our enemies, as in Luke 6:35-36 " But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful." But how does God tell us to pray in relation to our enemy, again there is clue in 2Thess 3:1-3 "And pray that we may be delivered from the wicked and evil men, for not everyone has faith. But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil one." Another clue may be found in the teaching Christ gave in 1John 5:16-17 "If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is sin that leads to death. I am not saying that he should pray about that. All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death."

Would you be astounded to learn and know if a persons sin is that which leads to death, if so then you are unfamiliar with Gods word. This very wisdom and knowledge is needed for those who are mature. Does it make any difference if we know the sin that leads to death, this is not a foolish question, apparently many teacher preparing Gods people are unaware of the answer. The answer of course is that from constant use of Gods word, we learn to distinguish good from evil. Would you like to know when the anti-Christ and false prophets or teachers are leading you astray, then pray for Gods wisdom and knowledge, seek the true church that is being brought into unity and maturity. Prayer from beginning to everlasting is our communion with the Lord, it is the Lord who gives good gifts to men.

From this we know as shown in 1Thess 5:15-16 "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." We also know in Rom 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Grace is freely given to those who seek in repentance, revealed in Luke 3:2-3 "…preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins." Now then sin remains for the unrepentant, for to reject the Savior who came to forgive sin, is to remain in sin. Then it is in error to pray for a persons sin and the rejection of Grace, pray instead to bind and reveal the evil that has trapped a person in sin, so they might see the truth and come to repentance.

God cannot accept sin, nor will God further the ways of evil, then why do some say we must pray for those who are neither repentant of their sin, but instead reject Christ Jesus. Be aware in this matter the word of God teaches of two different and opposite authorities, one over those in His will, the other over those in rebellion. Of the beneficial authorities we are told in Heb 13:17 "Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you." Of the authority for the rebellious told in Matt 20:25-28 "Jesus called them together and said, you know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave- just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Always concerning authority remember what Christ said to the one of rebellion in Matt 4:10 "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'"

What remains is to pray for the brother who has sinned, the sin that does not lead to death. We are to pray for one another who are obedient in the Lord, also for the kingdom of God which are those yet living in sin as described above who will repentant and come to Christ Jesus. If God will have no part in furthering evil, neither should we in Christ. Then I submit, we must be careful to that which we become indebted through prayer, for furthering the evil ways of this world is indeed a debt. I would also submit that when the Lord commands we pray (for) our leaders, this does not suggest we offer prayers for Satan, nor the servants of Satan. As Christ did not pray for those of the world, neither do I pray for the unrepentant in the world who reject Christ. With this said, it is our Lord who establishes all offices and positions, it is clear we are to have (proper) respect and pray for these. Most diligently those with discernment must pray for brothers and sisters in the Lord who cannot tell the difference between true and false servants, the servants of light that preserves, and the servants of darkness that destroy.

Christ gave us warning that our true service would be known by the fruit of our works. We are warned not to be yoked with the unrighteous, 2 Cor 6:14 "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?" We are warned about the unrighteous, Matt 24:4-14 Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."        Amen.

Thanksgiving

As I have shared in previous posts, I love Thanksgiving day!  I love the time of year, I love the meaning of Thanksgiving, the reminder that it gives us of how we should stop, take some time to reflect on what we do have, instead of the constant dwelling on what we don’t have!

As with every holiday, there is always some way that the commercial world would like to “cash in on” the occasion to help stimulate the economy.  This can be a good thing, but on the other had, it can be a real distraction to the true meaning and spirit of the occasion.  This year the traditional “Black Friday” has been planned to take place earlier than ever and it has caused no end of debate.  I would tend to agree with all those who might oppose it for the simple fact that, Thanksgiving is a time for the average to pull away for the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy each other’s company.

With this, I wish you all a wonderful and relaxed Thanksgiving day with your loved ones and family!  What are your thoughts?

Take The Time

We live in a pretty demanding world full of a million distractions and things to keep us pretty busy.  Some of the things are important and demand our attention, others are less important, and then there are the time wasters that suck the life out of you should you allow them to.

This gadget happy, materialistic environment that calls out to  us continually to occupy our minds with thoughts and things that are “nice” and “handy” can tend to distract us from the pure simple and natural joys of living, that for some have gone all but lost in the shuffle.  All of these great, new and wonderful commodities are useful tools that can help us accomplish more.  They can bring us temporary fulfillment and happiness because they make our life easier.  But they will never bring us the lasting happiness that  feeds our inner soul and brings us back to the simple childlike joys of yesteryear.  I was thinking about this

the other day as I took some off-time from the frantic busy life-style that I now call my “normal”.  This day  I took the time to enjoy the beauty of a flower, watch the sunset and gaze at the stars in the sky brought me feelings of appreciation for my family and loved ones as I remembered moments that I had spent with each one.  That is a joy that lasts on forever.

If you hope to have a great time, put aside all of the distractions, be it work, play gadgets or toys and take the time to feel that inner-peace and joy you experienced as a child. Learn to be happy with the moment, don’t allow yourself to be dependent on “things”.  They are but tools that we can use, just don’t allow them to use you!

Do you take the time?

The Beauty of a Relation

Every Relation does not need a name, sometimes nameless relation is pure and beautiful like Flower and Bumblebee!  They're always living together whether they don't know what the relation they have.

Just like that some relationship does not need a name to continue. It just goes with the flow....Being with each other make them feel alive! They just enjoy each other's presence and maybe feel out of the world without knowing there is future or not!

And that's the "BEAUTY OF RELATIONSHIP."

Feelings are enough for few while some believe in togetherness.

Things To Remember

Always be thankful. Life could be worse. Never stop trying. Never stop believing. Never give up.

You are only going to be as good as the people you surround yourself with, so be brave enough to let fo og those who keep weighing you down.

Count your blessings, not your troubles.

Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don't belong.

Until you're broken, you don't know what you're made of. It gives you the ability to build yourself all over again, but stronger than ever.

A Smile Is A Gift Worth Giving

I'd never really thought about giving a smile as a gift until this morning. Sometimes a smile is the best gift you can give someone.

Yesterday I was in the grocery store. I saw an older man standing with a sad look on his face. I walked by and gave him a big smile. Immediately, his eyes brightened and he smiled back. I don't know why he looked so sad, but for that moment in time he smiled.

People are in a rush and many are stressed this time of the year. Why not give a gift of your smile to everyone you meet. Give the gift of your smile! You never know how much of a difference you could be making in their life at that moment.

Always remember that a smile is a gift worth giving!

Pain

What is pain? Pain is a reminder. It reminds us our mistakes. pain is an alarm of upcoming beautiful days. There are two types of pain in the world. First is physical pain like tooth ache, body ache, back pain, neck pain etc and second is heart pain. This pain has not any medicine yet. This pain only reduced by bearing it. Rumi says "The cure for pain is in the pain."

When we forget God and run after world and pain enters into our life because all the worldly things are painful. "Put God first put God's work first then the other things will be yours as well" (Mathew 6:33). Where there is God no question arises of pain because God is our higher self and higher self itself is a biggest happiness. We need to explore ourself and start getting rid of pain.

Pain is the only one thing which brings us close to God. In pain we never remember mom or dad or any friend. We just look at the sky and start praying. God is the only one who understands us and support us throughout the bad time. Every relation in the world remains because of some selfishness and our relation with God is only remains because of love.

In hard days we always feel loneliness and this loneliness brings ourself closer to our higher self. We get to know our talents and good and bad qualities which you cannot know in the crowd. Some people do solitude just because to know themselves because they know the value of their existence. Some do meditations.

Pain changes your life. It will increase your conscience. For the first time when you face the pain you feel like going mad. You cry a lot, try a lot and after that you will pray and now you are on the right path. God has the solutions of every situation.

Everything created by God is for our benefits so do as with pain. Pain is necessary. It opens our heart and mind. It makes balance in our life. Pain is a result of mistakes.

Have Faith in God

For leading a happy life one needs faith in God. Having faith in God means being tension free. It is difficult but not impossible. You need first to be friendly with God. How can we be friendly with God? By sharing everything in heart like a baby sharing his everything with his mom. He shows his hunger by crying, happiness by laughing.

Life shows every type of time. Good and bad, short and long, illness and healthy days. Everything is happening in God's consent and everything happens for our betterment. Always trust him and never complaint. He is our father, well wisher and he is the only one who loves us selflessly.

You can give many names to the FAITH in God. Some people believe everything good will be going to happened with me because God is with me. Some people accept their life as it comes because they believe whatever is happening with us is for our good by God's grace. Some belive that God never disappoint us he fullfill our all desires. Some take risks with the faith in God.

Sometimes the road of life seems to be difficult. Our all efforts are seems to be wasted. On that time leave everything in God's hand and be patient and keep on saying what is happening in God's consent and he is doing everything for my betterment. Positive affirmations on God not only give you strength but trust as well. Time will pass, All your problems will sort out and at the end you will find yourself the winner.

Life is an illusion and some illusions are made by God only to test our faith. Remember one thing God only blesses us.

Your Message in Story

Everyone has a history or a beginning, but the message in it makes you a different person. Everyone has a story about how life wasn't fair. When it all seems dark,when opportunity seems faraway, when our status could only point to flaws and Pity...when no impact is made...my message is that, no one will care to tell a tale about you if your story has no message of a zero to hero, a grass to grace, a nothing to something, a nobody to somebody very important. The only message in your story is when you stand tall against all odds and limitation. Modify your story today, people are waiting to learn from your message.

Respect the Perception

My life offered me changes. I grabbed them and every time I felt oh no I again ruined it up!! This was my last chance and again I choosed the wrong way and thought maybe I have no other chance left so I have to deal with whatever it is now! As I am romantic person, all I wanted was a wonderful relationship and a happy life. I felt like I have full right to be happy! When time pass by I was not satisfied with whatever the life gave me and I felt miserable at times. With passing by I learnt lots of things. On process I learnt that I was being dependent on other to get happy! Every time I let my heart fall over with romantic talk, a kind word and appreciation! Then I realized that every time it was other who was making me happy and it was on their hand to control over my life. I just think now that there are many such offering that we have to offer to ourself! A talk to ourself and appreciate our own effort! Wants are never ending and more wants in life make you more !

Dependent so I think whatever we are going through are the result of what we want and what we expected! Now I look the world through my perception and also know that my perception values only for me!! People out there have their own way of living their life! I respect everyone perception! I realized there is no such thing that differentiate between right and wrong! These are made and universally we know nothing! Whatever makes me ease not necessarily ease other person! So live the way you are as who know it might be the perfect! Happiness is a habit and adopt that. Don't let any other control over your life!

Keep Fighting

Don’t allow the negative things in your life to discount the positive ones. Don’t let a bad day or month or year make you feel like you have a bad life. Instead of focusing on everything that’s going wrong, start holding onto all of the things that are going right. You may be struggling, but there is still so much to keep fighting for — there is still so much more to life than this pain. And if you keep picking yourself back up and pushing forward, no matter how difficult things are, you will discover it.

Maybe not tomorrow or next week or a year from now, but someday soon, things will get better. Someday soon, you will find freedom from this darkness. And when you do, you’ll look back on these days and wonder how you could have doubted your resilience. You’ll look back and marvel at how something as small as refusing to give up could transform your life in such a substantial way.

Real Friendship

Are you being a true friend to someone who needs you? This is the type of person we should all strive to be.

Real friends are the ones who are there to support you during the hard times.

A Mother’s Love is Priceless

There is always a person in your life that you know you can count on. That person is the one that gave you life and loves you unconditionally. A mother’s love is priceless and will always exist. Their care and love is like a beautiful rose, but a rose that is unable to die. Nothing overpowers the warmth that isolates you when a mother’s hug is received. They are there in your happy moments, but most importantly in your saddest to give sunshine to your rainy eyes…

My mother is the strongest person I know. She has been through so much, yet she was able to raise and educate her children as well as she did. Working hard and making sure that none of her children were missing anything was her number one priority. The stress of being a single mother made her love for us much stronger.

I believe that the separation gave my mother more hope and confidence. She knew how much my siblings and I were suffering, but she cured us with her love. She is the one who keeps the house running and under control. Even though it may seem to her that we take her love for granted, I can assure her that it can’t be… a mother’s love is priceless.
