And God has dealt bountifully with me.
Laughter,fullness of joy and happiness,He feeds me with every single day and am able to share it with those around regardless of who they are- One cannot stay gloomy and sad around me in real life,no way.We must laugh till we cry.
Avoid carrying several meaningless crosses cz,Jesus did it already.-He carried the Master cross.
Let go off your worries and appreciate free God given gifts like Joy/laughter and your life will never remain the same.
Don't be too serious and hard faced all the time cz that's not living but enduring.loosen up,dance, just choose be happy and you will.
Secret-inner joy, then it manifests on the outside and spreads to those around you.

And learn to be thankful.ALWAYS-sio ile ingine.

Let me go to church cz today it's sacrament-
yetu, cz it's in shags huwa a mug of sugarless tea and a big thick chapo.

But who said that sacrament must be ribena/wine and bread?

Kawaida with our Senior Pastor... A story is told in the Russia of the old, where theft was commonplace. A security guard was employed in a timber factory. One day this guard stopped Petrovich, a worker, who was walking out of the factory gates pushing a wheelbarrow with a suspicious looking package in it. The guard opened the package up and found it contained nothing but some old bits of rubbish, sawdust and floor-sweepings.
The next day he stopped Petrovich who was again pushing a wheelbarrow containing a suspicious looking package. Once more it contained nothing of value.
The same thing happened many days on the trot, until the guard finally said, "OK, I give up. Petrovich, I know you are up to something, but I just can’t tell what. Please, I promise not to arrest you, but put me out of my misery - tell me what you are stealing."

Petrovich looked him straight in the eye and told him "Wheelbarrows! I’m stealing wheelbarrows."

Where is your focus? Are you focused on God's blessings? What He has given you? Maybe what you perceive He hasn't? "Thank you for this.. give me that.. heal so and so.." Or maybe your focus is on what people are wearing to church, maybe on the behaviors of your pastors, maybe on the character of other Christians.. maybe...

Isaiah ~ Like water boiling in a pot over a fire.. God I hunger for your fire.

GOD.. I'M DESPERATE FOR YOU

Why would you advise any Christian to focus on "Gods Blessings" another way of saying Material things.
What will it profit any Christian that they FOCUS on the fact that they own a house and two cars?

Consider the words of Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:19 (read the chapter)



Do you know that it rains on the land of both the Wicked and the Righteous ?

We are called to give thanks in all things and that ALL THINGS good and bad work together for good for those that love him and are called according to his purpose.

1 Thessalonians 5:18

Romans 8:28

Have you read the scriptures you have quoted up there from Isaiah 63,64 and 65?
What do they possibly have to do with your illustration about the chap stealing wheelbarrows?

This is what the scriptures teach on where we are to focus.

Hebrews 12


The Gospel has nothing to do with the temporal things of this world my friend.

Re read the story of the rich man and lazarus..

Just re read it.

You are talking about focus right ?

The watchman was focusing on what was on the wheelbarrow all the while the other guy was stealing wheelbarrows themselves... i got that.

What i did not get is how this story ties in with the scriptures you have put up there (Isaiah 63,64 and 65).

What i also did not get at all is this...



I have read it again.
I concede that you are not necessarily saying that people focus on 'God's blessings'. I apologize for concluding otherwise.
