AFTER LIFE

"I will put my Spirit in you and you will live" Ezekiel 37:14

IN WORD The world is full of death. Despite the fact that billions of people live in this planet, few of them really live on this planet. Spiritually severed from the God who loves them - from the Living One - people live transient lives in painfully mortal flesh. We walk among human graveyards waiting to happen.

That sounds pretty stark, doesn't it? it certainly doesn't fit the mood of our generation, which believes that all people are basically good and everything's okay. It does, however, fit the Biblical assessment of human fallenness. Paul wrote that we, in our natural condition, are "dead in [our] transgressions and sins" (Ephesians 2:1), and Ezekiels's vision of dry bones does nothing to contradict that truth. God had even spelled it out long ago in the Garden: "When you eat of it [forbidden tree] you will surely die" (Genesis 2:17). In a fallen world, death reigns.

Christians should appear dramatically different from the world around us. We should seem strangely "alive" compared to the walking dead of creation. When non-believers observed Christian believers, they should see a spark of life, evidence of a new creation that comes from beyond fallen flesh. The evidence of joy, purpose, and gratitude among people who have those blessings should speak volumes to those who don't have them. in a desolate world, Christian should flourish.

IN DEED Are you flourishing? Does life overflow from your heart? If not, There's some sort of disconnect or obstacle between you and the Living One. That doesn't mean that Christians should put on happy masks for the world around us; we must be authentic. It does, however, mean that a chronic lack of joy and peace and life indicates a problem. If that's the case, ask God to breath new life into you daily. Invite His Spirit to be as alive in you as He was in the bones of Ezekiel's vision. Let Him restore and resurrect you with the kind of life a dead world needs to see.

Silent mode after those wasted years!

Have you ever noticed that as you grow older, the more you are serious about life? I just wonder those years that you wasted for making your life as of today. Time is really a gold thing. We cannot turn back time. The things we've done that we think wasted are those things that never even gives us lessons on how we handle the spices of life. Like a flower that blooms every day, specifically on the picture below the "morning glory flower" in only blooms in the morning and you only can behold its beauty on that time. And when the sun starts to set it became damp. Just like our lives, in time that we are still able to do the things that could give us a so-called life was wasted with nonsense things the world offered. I could say that as we grow old, we starts to mellow down and taking life now seriously. Being a quiet individual and a sincere heart in dealing with others. It is an instinct as we grow older, more lessons learned and it is our time to pass the lessons we learned to those behind us who are still at their young age.

Never Give Up!

Giving up is a sign of defeat. It is difficult to wait for another opportunity to come along with the road we tarry towards life. Go for what we really want for at the end of the day, we alone could savor the hardship, perseverance we've gone through to reach what we really wanted. 

Life is a constant change. Embrace the changes and figure out how we can surpass those things that challenged us. We are the one who were by any means determine our destiny from the available resources and opportunities that comes along our way. Regretting is the saddest thing if we did not do our best and starts to quit. As the famous proverb says "Quitters never win and Winners never quit" Feel that you are a winner in any circumstance. It could really help to boost your self-confidence from the challenges that need not to give up. 

God gave us freewill to do what we want but make sure it is not against God's will for our lives. Our ultimate dream would propel us to do the best and not so complacent with mediocrity. Live a life that never gives up. For at the end of the day, you will surely never regret!

The real You!

Each in everyone of us was born unique. That is why there is diversity. One has its own identity and no one could ever paint her or his life with what color he or she will be. The greatest thing to know that the life we live in depends on how we master our own life. The twist is, not everyone deserves the information to know who you really are. There are boundaries that only the deserving individual around you could have that information about you. Closeness, affinity, and trust would be all the factors to be considered in order for you to share who you are. Anyway, why others wanted to know you more? Maybe because they were inspired on how you deal with your own life, or d

they are so intrigue of the lifestyle you are living or maybe they just wanted to know you more. But not all deserved to know that. Respect on the individuality and opinion is the right thing to do. Learn to patiently understand those people who does not know you but has the story to tell about your life, he or she even did not know your past and your struggles in life. we have our own separate lives to live in. Let us learn to focus on what is good and what can we do to make our life a meaningful one.

Fabulous 50's Cafe Review

T'was a fine day in the Crown Regency Hotel. Though I will be turning 40 this year but i tried to be in the Cafe intended for 50's.... the lounge is quite cool garnished with old sea ornaments and antiques. There's a baywatch bouy, an old sea watches, old flipper and some sea treasures.
