The Lord appeared to us in the past,[a] saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.
GENUINE SERVICE CANNOT BE SEPARATED FROM LOVE. Genuine service cannot be separated from love. We can go through the motions of serving God, but if our hearts are not in it we’re missing the point. First Corinthians 13 makes it clear that, unless our service is rooted in love, it’s meaningless. Serving God out of a sense of obligation or duty, apart from love for God, is not what He desires. Rather, serving God should be our natural, love-filled response to Him who loved us first (see 1 John 4:9–11). The apostle Paul is a great example of how having a relationship with God through Christ results in a life of service. Before his conversion, Paul persecuted and killed believers, thinking he was serving God. But after he encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus, he immediately devoted the rest of his life to truly serving God by spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ (see Acts 9:20). Paul describes this transformation in 1 Timothy 1:12–14: “I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to his service. Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief. The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.”
Once Paul became aware of the love and grace that God had given him, his response was to serve God. The Bible offers several motivations for our service. We want to serve God because “we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken” (Hebrews 12:28) because our service supplies “the needs of the Lord’s people” (2 Corinthians 9:12), because our service proves our faith and causes others to praise God (2 Corinthians 9:13), and because God sees and rewards our labor of love (Hebrews 6:10). Each of these is a good reason to serve God. We can give away only what we’ve first received. The reason we can love and serve God is that He first loved and served us through Jesus Christ. The more we are aware of and experience God’s love in our own lives, the more prone we are to respond in love by serving Him. If you want to want to serve God, the key is to get to know Him! Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal more of God to you (John 16:13). When we truly know God, who is love (1 John 4:8), our natural response is a desire to love and serve Him in return.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF ASSUMPTIONS IS VERY SIMPLE AND VERY DANGEROUS!
Proverbs 18:2 ESV A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.
Assumptions can destroy you or kills your talent if you are not careful. Always it is easy to make assumptions. The philosophy of assumptions is very simple and very dangerous. All you need is to have incomplete information about certain information. And an unwillingness to ask the questions you need to complete the information. In the absence of complete information, we fill in the blanks for ourselves. We fill in the blanks with our interpretation of what we see or hear. The Bible encourages us to be transformed by the renewal of the minds. This means that when we interpret various information always we involve our minds. And if our minds are affected by past experiences then all our interpretations will be affected by our past experiences.

You will try to make sense of the situation, trying to make connections between today and the past. Connections that don't exist. You will jump to conclusions that are wrong and as the result, you will fight with everyone, you will develop liars, rumors, you will develop bad attitudes towards people, and also you will never grow in anything. ASSUMPTIONS CAN DESTROY YOUR FUTURE IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL BE BRAVE AND LIVE A PEACEFUL LIFE.

DO NOT LIE TO EACH OTHER. So, then brothers and sisters in the body of Christ, "do not lie to each other since you have taken off your old self with its practices." - Colossians 3:9
Human beings sometimes are gullible for several reasons, we deliberately believe others that are telling the truth and to be cognitively overwhelmed, and then irrationally convinced, by emotional arguments and displays. Lying is always easy to consume and also, easy to produce. When it is produced, it sounds sweet, and also it becomes bitter at the end. Many of us, fail to wait for an end, instead, we act immediately when lies are produced.
Lack of evidence is a wrong move to logic. No evidence, we have no business to discuss, we can't
depend
or
involve
ourselves on the argument that comes from the ignorance ( argumentum ad ignorantiam). Lying is a huge issue for many people, including Christians. We are tempted to lie and even to participate in lies when we think that it will benefit us in some way or another.
And when the end comes, we become embarrassed, shameful, insecure.

PEOPLE SPEAK ABOUT CHANGES,
BUT ARE NOT We must be careful of not to speak things which sometimes even us, we struggle a lot. We must be doers of the word and not hearers. Sometimes we say things in the misconception perspectives and believe that it is the truth.
Before telling people to stop a certain attitude, first think about yourself. If you don't like something, change it, if you don't like to hear certain things, don't talk about it. Avoid dying foolishly.
According to, Leo Tolstoy said," Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself. Many people speak about changes but are not.
We need to stop acting self-righteousness and showing others that are sick and are terrible patients. All of us are equal before the Lord.
07
According to William Shakespeare said," a fool thinks himself to be wise but a wise man knows himself to be a fool. And slanders die when it meets the wise person. People in this century are not wise.
If we cry that this society is passing through hard situations, then we need to pray a lot and seek serious changes and not otherwise. True changes are not in words alone but also, action. We need to learn to turn a tragedy into a personal triumph. Someone's weakness should not be a precedent. Remain cool, calm, and corrected. That is why these things are distracting us. STOP Acting SELF - RIGHTEOUSNESS, YOU ARE NOT SO SMART, AVOID DYING FOOLISHLY and LIVE A PEACEFUL LIFE.
DON'T BE A PHARISEES. Pharisees tried to make a lot of attempts to find any wrong to accuse Jesus but they failed: and these people were religious pundits. When I read a couple of verses, I got a lot of reflections about what is happening today in our society. Today a man of God has no shame to accuse another man of God instead of correcting him or her. Today every leader is better than another leader. Many leaders have allowed being caught up in the small matters that they cannot take advantage of important opportunities. Most people spend their entire lives letting down buckets into empty wells and then waste their days trying to pull them up again and again.
Choose to dream big, to strive to reach the full potential of your calling. Never waste your time on people who are low profile. The problem with these people is that when you try to low your standard to be like them. They act like they know everything and you are nothing, but when you try to go to your standard then, they start to complain. Sometimes I hear many but I ignore responding to them because they are not my standard. Jesus never wastes His time to explain to them and even He made them to be confused when He used parables. Sometimes you need to use parables so that you can confuse them. Don't try to speak senses to any fool, because he will never understand you.

ALL MEN
ARE BROTHERS I was reading the book compiled and edited by Krishna Kripalani, entitled that" ALL MEN ARE BROTHERS, the life and thoughts of Mahatma Gandhi, It is very interesting to read it and also to apply it in life. I know that Mahatman Gandhi was not a Christian, but the things he wrote, are very applicable and relevant today. Back in the book, it is very true that all men are brothers and no human being should be a stranger to another.
In the reflection of our Christian perspective, so man and woman are equal in the image of God. To say that humans are in the image of God is to recognize the special qualities of human nature, which allow God to be made manifest in humans. The moral implications of the doctrine of imago Dei(Image of God) are apparent in the fact that if humans are to love God, then humans must love other humans, as each is an expression of God.
If we believe in God, not merely with our intellect but with our whole being, we will love all mankind without any distinction of race or class. Also, the writer continued to indicate that God is the common bond that unites all human beings, to break this bond even with the greatest enemy is to tear God himself to pieces.

JOKESSSS!
Josey wasn't the best pupil at Sunday school. She often fell asleep and one day while she was sleeping, the teacher asked her a question. "Who is the creator of the universe?" Joe was sitting next to Josey and decided to poke her with a pin to wake her up. Josey jumped and yelled, "God almighty!" The teacher congratulated her.
A little later the teacher asked her another question, "Tell me who is our lord and savior?" Joe poked Josey again and she yelled out, "Jesus Christ!" The teacher congratulated her again. Later on the teacher asked, "What did Eve say to Adam after their 26th child?" Joe poked Josey again and she shouted, "If you stick that thing in me again, I'll snap it in half ........

It is very dangerous to believe lies and negativity, and then try to make certain conclusions on it.
Scams always benefits the scammers Believing lies and negativity, it's not a matter of ignorance of the belief or lack of information. But what is behind the scene of such belief? Many conflicts are man-made and, all of us have such an ability to avoid them. It is very dangerous to believe lies and negativity, and then try to make certain conclusions on it. Many people hate others, not because they have done certain things or wrongs, but because someone has told him or her that someone hates you.
We become victims of our thoughts or opinions, stressful and unproductive because we tend to shut down our minds and start using someone's mind. Immature information cannot make any impact on your life or the people around you. You can bring all attention to people but if you are negative, you will become irrelevant to people and everyone will avoid you.

What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. - James 4:1-3

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES TIP #08
“Grace does not depend on what we have done for God but rather what God has done for us. Ask people what they must do to get to heaven and most reply, “Be good.” Jesus’ stories contradict that answer. All we must do is cry, “Help!” – Philip Yancey
BIBLICAL RELATIONAL
WISDOM.
We define relational wisdom as a God-centered, biblically grounded, gospel-driven form of emotional intelligence. The gospel is the motive, the pattern, and the power of relational wisdom. It’s the motive because what Christ has done for us inspires us to respond with grace. It’s the pattern because we look at how Christ lived, engaged people, and took initiative as our example.
It’s the power because through the gospel we gain access to the Holy Spirit, who can come into us and help us to replace pride with humility, anger with forgiveness, and so on. The gospel is the fuel for godly relationships. The main difference between secular emotional intelligence and biblical relational wisdom is the gospel.
Godly wisdom is always builds relationships. It never manipulates, deceives or misleads. Many pastors treat biblical wisdom as information that they impart
from the pulpit. But biblical wisdom is relational more than it’s informational. James 3:17 says that the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
