hold my honey and I store my bread In little jars and cabinets of my will. I label clearly, and each latch and lid I bid, Be firm till I return from hell. I am very hungry. I am incomplete. And none can give me any word but Wait, The puny light. I keep my eyes pointed in; Hoping that, when the devil days
of
my hurt Drag out to their last dregs and I resume On such legs as are
left me, in such heart As I can manage, remember to go home, My taste
will not have turned insensitive To honey and bread old purity could love

the truth today!
Amn !
Lforgiveness do not always eliminate sin’s consequences. How often do you make decisions based on
When your life seems chaotic, rest in this truth: Jesus is Lord, and God is in control. God’s purpose to save you cannot be thwarted, no matter what evil Satan may bring. (Ephesians 1:11NLT_
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.
How do you argue or criticize God? Do you demand answers when things don’t go your way, you lose a job, someone close to you is ill or dies, finances are tight, you fail, or unexpected changes occur? The next time you are tempted to complain to God, consider how much he loves you. And remember Job’s reaction when he had his chance to speak. Are you worse off than Job or more righteous than he? Give God a chance to reveal his greater purpose for you, but remember that they may unfold over the course of your life and not at the moment you desire. (Job 40:2-5 NLT)

Low
Self-esteem and Crimes of Youths ..
Parenting is more than merely bringing
a child to adulthood. It must bring that child to a successful adulthood
so that he/she is intellectually, spiritually, and financially equipped
to see himself/herself in a positive light and to be able to withstand
others' attempts to define him/her. Many psychologists argue that good
self-esteem is crucial to a person's well being, and many realize that
low self esteem plays an important role in criminal activity, especially
criminal activities of youths. Click Here.
Do your planning and prepare your fields before building your house. (Proverbs 24:27 NLT) We should carry out our work in its proper order. If a farmer builds his house in the spring, he will miss the planting season and go a year without food. If a businessman invests his money in a house while his business is struggling to grow he may lose both. It is possible to work hard and still lose everything if the timing is wrong or the resources to carry it out are not in place.
The blessing of the Lord makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow with it. (Proverbs 1:22 NLT) God supplies most people with the personal and financial abilities to respond to the needs of others. If we all realized how God has belssed us, and if we all used our resources to do God's will, hunger and poverty would be wiped out. Wealth is a blessing only if we use it in the way God intended.
Some people are lazy while others are workaholics. Lazy people, seeing the futility of dashing about for success, idle away their time and hurt both themselves and those who depend on them. Workaholics are often driven by envy, greed, and a constant desire to stay ahead of everyone else. Both extremes are foolish and irresponsible. The answer is to work hard but with moderation. Take time to enjoy the other gifts God has given, and realize that it is God who gives out the assignments and the rewards, not us. (Ecclesiastes 4:4-6 NLT)
Daniel and his three friends chose not to eat the king’s food. They did not bow down to the king’s image, even under penalty of death. Daniel continued to pray even though he knew he might be noticed and sentenced to death. These men are inspiring examples for us of how to live godly lives in a sinful world. When we face trials, we can expect God to also be with us through them. May God grant us similar courage to remain faithful under pressure. (Daniel NLT)
Our life can be destroyed quickly by a small but deadly spark of evil. What potential "fire hazards" do you need to remove? (Isaiah1:29, 30 NLT)
