God's Grace


God has promised us that His Grace is sufficient for us. 

God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 

Ephesians 2:8

Power Thought of The Day


The happiness of one's own heart alone cannot satisfy the soul; one must try to include, as necessary to one's own happiness, the happiness of others.

Power Thought of The Day

 

 Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.

A Little Insight


When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look into the reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or our family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and arguments. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, AND THE SITUATION WILL CHANGE.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Very wise words, this has been my personal experience too. Sometimes, we all just need to understand our loved ones and friends, or be understood by them. Love goes a far way. May this little gem be useful to you.

Peace and Love,

Positive Thought for Today

People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong....why not try and see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom?

Positive Thought for Today

The Eternal looked upon me for a moment with His eye of power, and annihilated me in His being, and become manifest to me in His essence. I saw I existed through Him.
