- [ LONG BUT WORTH READING][ G i r l ] : *In tears* Hey, we’re best friends right?[ B o y ] : Of course we are, why are you crying? *wipes tears off girl’s face* Don’t cry beautiful. Tell me, what’s wrong?[ G i r l ] : Well, it’s my boyfriend. I found out that he’s cheating on me with another girl and i just can’t stop crying about this. I don’t know what to do. I really love him, and i don’t want to lose him. Please, you’re good friends with my boyfriend, do something bout this. Convince him that i am the girl for him, please do everything you can to make him realise that I’m all he needs.[ B o y ] : *walks away from girl*[ G i r l ] : *chased after boy* *in tears* If you were my best friend, you wouldn’t walk away on me like that.[ B o y ] : I walked away from you because i didn’t want to help you with your problems. Look, I’ve been best friends with you for so long. And somewhere between our laughs, our fights, i fell in love with you. But i didn’t want to tell you bout my feelings cause you were still with him. Your ‘boyfriend’, he hurt you, he played with heart, and i don’t know why you’re still with him. Do you enjoy being hurt? If i helped you with your situation and get your relationship on the right track, it’ll just kill me. It hurts me everyday seeing you with your ‘boyfriend’. It hurts me even more seeing you in his arms. But it kills me knowing that you stick around with him when it’s obvious that he doesn’t love you. I can love you more than this, i really can. If you were mine, I’d show you what true love is. I’d make you feel like a princess, I’d give you all my love, I’d never cheat on you. There’s just an endless amount of things that i would do for you. I’ve been keeping my true feelings i have for you for like forever. And I’ve kept it bottled up and it kills me to have not told you all this earlier, but now that I’ve told you everything, it feels good. But I’m really scared at the same time cause i don’t know how you’ll react to this and this might actually ruin our friendship and i just can’t bear to lose you.[ G i r l ] : *Breaks down crying* You have no idea how long I’ve wait for you to tell me you love me. The only reason why i stuck around with my ‘boyfriend’ was because i wanna find someone to love me. And somewhere between our laughs, and fights, i too fell in love with you. But i was so scared to tell you how i felt for you because i was afraid that you won’t feel the same for me, and it’ll ruin our great friendship. I waited so long for you to make your move and tell me you love me but i gave up and went to find someone else. And now that you finally told me you love me, it couldn’t be any better than this.
The best way to reinforce my progress in fulfilling God's purpose for my life is to keep a spiritual journal. This is not a diary of events but a record of life lessons i don't want to forget!! I am the common WOMEN...I'm quite naughty, I love my family and I play by the rules. And sometimes I get pushed around. That's my lifestyle, and that's what I try to bring to characters.

HANDLE WITH CARE
Read :
Psalm 90:1-12
_____________________________
"So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." -Psalm 90:12
_________________________________________________________________________
We live in a society that's overrun with warning labels. From disclaimers on pills, to "use by" dates on soup cans, to danger signs on chain saws- labels draw our attention to impending hazards. Recently I received a box with precious gift inside. The sender had attached a big red sticker to the package that said, FRAGILE: HANDLE WITH CARE.When I think about life and its fragility, I wonder if we shouldn't all wear one of those red stickers.
It's not a good idea to cruise through life thinking that we are invincible and that everything is going to be just fine - only to discover that we are far more fragile than we thought. It takes only a call from the doctor telling us that we have a life threatening disease, or the swerve of a careless driver in front of us to remind us that life is extremely uncertain. There are no guarantees! None of us can be certain of another breath. So the psalmist has an important piece of advice.......a warning label of shorts: " Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom" (Psalm 90:12).
Let's choose to live as though this were our last moment on earth by loving more deeply, forgiving more readily, giving more generously, and speaking more kindly. That's how to handle life with care!!!

GREATER LOVE
Read:
John 15:1-13
__________________________
" Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends. - John 15:13
Bill and his wife were driving through mountains when a near miss with a lorry caused their car to swerve off the road and plunge into the river. After scrambling out of their sinking vehicles, they frantically treaded water in the swift current. A lorry driver, who had seen the accident, ran ahead along the shore and threw a rope to them. Bill swam behind his wife and pushed her to where she could grab the rope and the man pulled her out. Bill, however, was carried downstream and didn't survive. He had given his life for the women he loved.
To give your life so another person can live is the ultimate proof of love. During the night that Jesus was betrayed, He told His disciples of His intention to give His life in exchange for mankind. He told them: " Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends." ( John 15:13). Then He set the ultimate example of self sacrifice by going to the cross.
Have you ever given any thought to the fact that Jesus did that to you - that He died in your place? In so doing, He not only proved His love for you, but He also made it possible for your sins and to have and eternal home in heaven.
John 15:1-13

PREPARED FOR THE REAL THING
READ:
Luke 12:35-40
_______________________________
"Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect." - Luke 12:40
Through the years, quite a few people have predicted the return of Jesus at a specific time. Just last year an American radio preacher stirred up the interest of the mainstream media with his prediction that Jesus would return on 21 May 2011.
Anyone who knows Scripture well knew that this advance warning wasn't accurate, because Jesus Himself said His return would be "at an hour you do not expect" ( Luke 12:40). Yet I do have to admit that this prediction captured my attention. Often I get so caught up in the busyness of life that I live as though Jesus' return is some distant reality. I forget that Jesus could come back at any time. The prediction, wrong as it was, reminded me about the importance of being prepared for my Saviour 's return, and it renewed my excitement that it could be any day - even today.
Sometimes when we think of being ready for Jesus' return, we think about what we shouldn't be doing. How becoming more and more like Him so we are pleasing to Him when He comes back for us (1 John 3:2-3). Jesus taught that being ready for His return requires living according to our Master's will now ( Luke 12:47). Will we be prepared when it's time for the real thing?

Our Greatest Need
The most defining moment in anyone's life is the decision to surrender to God by accepting Christ as personal Saviour. God's Word, The Bible, tells us that our greatest need is not simply guidance in life; it's a relationship with God. We can have this relationship through Jesus Christ alone, resulting in peace with our heavenly Father and the gift of eternal life with Him.
If you've never taken this step of faith, remember that faith is not something you wait for like a letter in mail. Rather, faith is something you step out on, like a bridge over a raging river. Jesus Christ paid the penalty for our sin by dying on the cross. After 3 days. He rose from the dead and is now preparing a place for those who put their faith in Him. If you will become a child of the living God and an heir of eternal life. As a suggestion, pray something like this:

Lord, I believe that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that He came and died to
pay the penalty for the sins i have committed. I ask You to forgive me, and to give me
the gift of eternal life You promised. Come into my life,
and cause me to be born again. Amen.
WHEN THE JOURNEY GETS TOUGH

"We should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead.- 2 Corinthians 1:9
In August 2009, Blair and Ronna Martin lost their energetic 9 year old son Matti when he was dragged to his death by a family and share in their grief. I know how tough this tragedy has been for them.
I also know that they are seeking God's care and comfort for their pain. An observation made by Matti's mother is valuable for anyone walking one of life's valleys. During one of her down times, Ronna was reading 2 Corinthian 1:9, which says that "we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead." She felt as if Jesus were telling her, "Ronna, I know the journey has been too much for you, and you are bone-weary. Do not be ashamed of your exhaustion. Instead, see it as an opportunity fo Me to take charge of your life."
When the journey gets too tough to navigate, 2 Corinthian 1:9 is a reminder to us that we showed us His power in the resurrection, and who will demonstrate His power again when He raises believing loved ones of all generations to eternel life. " My strenght and my hope have to be in Christ alone," Ronna said. That's a thruth we all need as we travel the journey God has for us.
