Oh LORD,  You are  my shepherd, I lack nothing. You make me lie down in green pastures, and  lead me beside quiet waters, You refreshes my soul and  guides me along the right paths for Your  name sake.   As Your child  holy and beloved, I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.  Help me to put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, and long-suffering so others will see you in me.  Without You Lord I am nothing and apart from You I am nothing. I love You LORD and I thank You for your Blessings, Thank you Lord for Your grace and mercy. Because Your love and mercy endures forever. In You I  live and breathe, and find peace. To you I give my life. Amen.  Psalm 23:1-3;  Colossians 3:12; Psalm 139:14; John 15:5; Psalm 100:5; Psalm...

Counsel to Children Perform the Home Duties Cheerfully—Children and youth should be missionaries at home by doing those things that need to be done and that someone must do….You can prove by faithful performance of the little things that seem to you unimportant that you have a true missionary spirit. It is the willingness to do the duties that lie in your path, to relieve your overburdened mother that will prove you worthy of being entrusted with larger responsibilities. You do not think that washing dishes is pleasant work, yet you would not like to be denied the privilege of eating food that has been placed on those dishes. Do you think that it is more pleasant work for your mother to do those things than it is for you? Are you willing to leave what you consider a disagreeable task for your careworn mother to do, while you play the lady? There is sweeping to be done, there are rugs to take up and shake, and the rooms are to be put in order; and while you are neglecting to do these things, is it consistent for you to desire larger responsibilities? Have you considered how many times mother has to attend to all these household duties while you are excused to attend school or amuse yourself? Excerpt from Adventist Home by Ellen G. White p. 300 ‘[Counsel to...

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch out Your hand Against the wrath of my enemies, And Your right hand will save me. 8 The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands. Psalm 138: 7-8                                          Psalm 138 Entire...

Trifling With Hearts— Relationships ”To trifle with hearts is a crime of no small magnitude in the sight of a holy God. And yet some will show preference for young ladies and call out their affections, and then go their way and forget all about the words they have spoken and their effect. A new face attracts them, and they repeat the same words, devote to another the same attentions. .This disposition will reveal itself in the married life. The marriage relation does not always make the fickle mind firm, the wavering steadfast and true to principle. They tire of constancy, and unholy thoughts will manifest themselves  in unholy actions. How essential it is, then, that the youth so gird up the loins of their mind and guard their conduct that Satan cannot beguile them from the path of uprightness”~~~~. (E. G. White Adventist Home p. 57) The Lord said to Job, ”Now prepare yourself  like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer Me.”‘ Job 38:3)...

Bible teaching about personal relationships produce great benefits, and shows us how we can  avoid, minimize, and resolve conflicts. Relationship is fragile and really requires love, understanding, respect, trust, prayer, communication, managing emotions, encouragement, solving conflicts, and accepting responsibility. Love: Love is an emotion of strong affection and personal attachment. Love is also a virtue  representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection; and “the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another” Love may also be described as actions towards others (or oneself) based on compassion, or as actions towards others based on affection. (Wikipedia dictionary) ”Love is a precious gift, which we receive from Jesus. Pure and holy affection is not a feeling, but a principle. Those who are actuated by true love are neither unreasonable nor blind here is but little real, genuine, devoted, pure love. This precious article is very rare. Passion is termed love. True love is a high and holy principle, altogether different in character from that love which is awakened by impulse, and which suddenly dies when severely tested.” Ellen G. White) Love: The definition  found in the Bible 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 KJV  In any relationship we should exhibit the love of Christ the agape love. John 3:16.) We should practice all of the above mentioned in meaning of love, among each other and live them out daily,  ”’Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vain glory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.” Philippians 2:2-4)   Jesus said that we are to ” love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13: 34-35)  God is love so let us live out these in our life; agape, unconditional love in our actions,deeds and words.   1 Corinthians 13:4-8) 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.” Some Biblical Ways to Build healthy relationships. Prayer  is very important in life and in relationships. It is through prayer that we build up our relationship with our father God. When Jesus was on earth He was...

Psalm 16:9 (NKJV) ‘Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will rest in hope.” David’s heart was glad-he had found the secret to joy. True joy is far deeper than happiness; we can feel joy in spite of our deepest troubles. Happiness is temporary because it is based on external circumstances, but joy is lasting because it is based on God’s presence within us. As we contemplate his daily presence, we will find contentment. As we understand the future he has for us, we will experience joy. Don’t base your life on circumstances, but on God.
