Coping with the World


 Am I a Victim?

Should I be treated or feel any different because I have a disability of any kind?  In my case, it is mental illness. The answer is a ‘no’ and ‘yes’.  In terms of extra support, people might need some financial assistance if there is.  As far as being considered different because of disabilities, not at all.  Even self pity has its limits.

 Anyway, we must find a way to manoeuvre through this world or it will swallow us.  The world does not really care about you, each wants a paycheck at the end of the month.  That is the sad reality. It took me a while to figure it out, but now I know.  Only a few make the exception!

 

The Victor

 We have many choices to make in our life and the result of the sum of those choices will either make us a victim or a victor.  No one wants to be a loser and everyone wants to be a winner.  The majority of people are unfortunately showing signs of deterioration.  The world, as a whole is on the losing end just because of poor choices of self destruction.  I am not saying that I understand it all.  I am changing the way I think by changing the input of information to my mind.  In turn, my mind changes my attitudes and feeling about different situation.  I am finally feeling a lot better about myself.

 

The World Need

 You don’t want me to tell you what you need, right?  You are an adult or almost one.

Do you need more intellect or mental uplifting in this world?  Do you need more religions in the world?  How many gods are in India alone? Do we need any more gold or money to satisfy?  I don’t think so.  Money can’t buy happiness; it allows us to depend on it.

To keep our life simpler.  Let us believe in one God who is alive.  We don’t need religion!  We just need to be obedient and faithful to this God who is Jesus Christ. Accept him in your heart and believe he exists and that he can be trusted.  Life is great when Jesus loves you and you know it.  This is what the world needs, it needs you to give it the HOPE of the Cross.  Live it to the FULL.

The Legacy of Wisdom Proverbs 8:17

    I am more than excited about the wisdom I find in Proverbs from the Bible these days.  A wisdom that I want to grow into and be able to pass it on to future generation The book of Proverbs is to me in part an admonition from a father to his son.   A legacy of wisdom and character.   Very obviously and more than anything he does not want his son just to be wealthy    but rather, want him to be rich in wisdom from God, the highest kind of wisdom there is.   The kind of wisdom that you want to know intimately and even pass it on to the next generation.   Men, I am talking to you or with you While still reading and meditating on the Book of Proverbs from the Bible, I cannot help but experiencing it as an admonition from a father to his son.   The Father wants to pass on a legacy to his son.   Are you a father or one to be? Or perhaps, like me a grandfather who has struggled all his life to put food on the table?   Now is my second chance to build a future filled with wisdom into my

The Fruit of the Spirit...Patience?

  As I was being tested, patience was required, and I was waiting with much complaining.   Then my wife encouraged me to read the Fruit of the Spirit out of the Amplified version of the Bible.   So, I did and here it is: “But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others],   joy [inner] peace , patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting],   kindness, goodness,   faithfulness,   gentleness,   self-control.   Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23) These verses not only apply to us as we go through our daily life but especially as we wait for the Lord’s return.   How we act while we wait for him does matter and it is very important.   We learn as we go through trials.   For a lot of people, the word “patience” is not welcome in their vocabulary, and I can tell by my own life I am not the only one who finds it difficult to act well while we wait.   We can all wait as this
