Only One Life

Life without God is a meaningless life. We are just a pilgrim in this world. We are just passing through. Our life is so short that we need to live the most of it, for others and most of all for God. The word of God tells us that the moment we receive Christ as our Savior and Lord, we have eternal life... and that means we are eternal being.. and eternal being are suppose to spend their time and effort for eternal things.. and eternal things according to the word of God are the things which are not seen... things we do for God.. things that really matters and last for eternity. So... let us be careful on where we are spending our time and effort.. We have ONLY ONE LIFE...

ONLY ONE LIFE

It matters so little how much you may own.

The places you've been or the people you've known.
For it all comes to nothing, when placed at His feet.
It's nothing to Jesus, just memories to keep.

Only one life so soon it will pass.
Only what's done for Christ will last
Only one chance to do his will.
So give to Jesus all your days
Its the only life that pays.
When you recall, you have
but one life.

You may take all the treasures, from far away land.
Take all the riches you can hold in your hand.
And take all the pleasures, your money can buy.
But what will you have, when its your time to die.

The days pass so swiftly. The months come and go.
The years melt away like a new fallen snow.
Spring turns to summer and summer to fall.
Atumn brings winter then death comes to call.

Afraid to die?

How do you define death? Is it the end of everything? Or just the end of our life here on earth? Some say they are not certain what will happen after they die. Others believe that death is the is the end of everything. On the other hand, the word of God says that there is heaven and hell waiting for us after death. Heaven, as defined in the bible, is the place where we spend our eternal life with God. And of course eternal life is for those who trusted, accepted and believed on Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord (John 3:16, Ephesians 2:8-9, John 14:6, See article below(The archer's faith) ). Hell, of course is the opposite of heaven. It's the place of torment and suffering. This is eternal death as what the bible is telling us.

My question is: Are you 100% sure that your soul will go to heaven after you die? I mean 100%... really sure? If yes, then good.. but if not, i think your'e really in trouble. Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God", Romans 6:23 "For the wages(price/payment) of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord". All of us are ought to die because all have sinned. There are two kinds of death, the physical and spiritual death. In Romans 6:23, since all of us sinned, all of us will die (physical and spiritual). But there is a hope prepared for us. God said, but the Gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus . We need to accept that gift... but how? Click here .

That's the reason why am not afraid to die. Because i have the assurance of salvation. I'm sure of that because God promised it, that when I receive Him as my Savior and Lord, eternal life is waiting for me. God loves us.

Money Problems?

Here's the answer...

Heb 13:5 "Keep your life free from the love of money, and be content with what you have."

Ps 37:7,16 "Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way... Better is the little of the righteous than the abundance of many wicked."

Prov 23:4-5 "Do not wear yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show restraint. Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle."

Usually the cause of our worries and problems is money. Without money, we usually think we are the least on this world. We study hard to find a good job and earn a big salary someday, we work hard for money, we spend our time looking for money instead of having time for our family. Is life all about finding money? Why do we worry so much about it. Did God not promise to supply our needs? God said, "I will supply all your needs according to my riches and glory". In Matthew 6:33 - "But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all this things shall be added unto you". I am not trying to suggest that one will just sit and wait for the money to fall from heaven. My point is, do not worry so much. Just do your part. Balance life and seek first the kingdom of God. Psalm 37:4 "Delight yourself upon the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. " then everything follows..

Phil 4:11-13 ...For I have learned to be content, whatever the circumstances may be. I know now how to live when things are difficult and I know how to live when things are prosperous. In general and in particular I have learned the secret of eating well or going hungry--of facing either plenty of poverty. I am ready for anything through the strength of the One who lives within me.

May God bless you readers...

He is God

He is the First and Last,
The Beginning and the End!

He is the keeper of Creation and the Creator of all!
He is the Architect of the universe and the Manager of all times.
He always was, He always is, and He always will be ...
unmoved, Unchanged, Undefeated, and never Undone!

He was bruised and brought healing!
He was pierced and eased pain!
He was persecuted and brought freedom!
He was dead and brought life!
He is risen and brings power!

He is goodness, Kindness, Gentleness, and God.
He is Holy, Righteous, mighty, powerful, and pure.

His ways are right,
His word is eternal,

He is my Joy,
He is my comfort,
He is my Lord, and He rules my life!

I serve Him because His bond is love,
His burden is light, and His goal for me is abundant life.

I follow Him because He is the wisdom of the wise,
the power of the powerful,
the ancient of days, the ruler of rulers, the leader of leaders, the overseer of the overcomers, and is to come. And if that seems impressive to you, try this for size.

His goal is a relationship with ME!
He will never leave me,
never forsake me,
never mislead me,
never forget me,
never overlook me and
never cancel my appointment in His appointment book!

When I fall, He lifts me up!
When I fail, He forgives!
When I am weak, He is strong!
When I am lost, He is the way!
When I am afraid, He is my courage!
When I stumble, He steadies me!
When I am hurt, He heals me!
When I am broken, He mends me!
When I am blind, He leads me!
When I am hungry, He feeds me!
When I face trials, He is with me!
When I face persecution, He shields me!
When I face problems, He comforts me!
When I face loss, He provides for me!
When I face Death, He carries me Home!

He is everything for everybody everywhere, every time, and every way.
He is God, He is faithful. I am His, and He is mine!

My Father in heaven can whip the father of this world.
So, if you're wondering why I feel so secure, understand this...

He said it and that settles it.
God is in control, I am on His side,
and that means all is well with my soul.

Everyday is a blessing for GOD Is!
