FRIENDSHIP

WHO IS A FRIEND?

Who is a friend? We all have acquaintances, faces we recognize ; people we greet by name. Casual friendships happen through continued contact. And close friendships are developed through sharing of interests and spending time together in mutually inclusive activities.

But Intimate friendships are what everyone desires & needs. These are friends that stay with us no matter what. They listen to us & are genuinely interested in what is best for us. A truly good friend will openly correct you. But that's okay because they are interested in our well-being.

Everyone wants the kind of friend that will be there for them no matter what. Who are your friends? Are they just acquaintances, or are they intimate friends?

Sometimes even our friends may let us down, but there is one that is surely gonna be there for us no matter what - God wants to be your friend. When you accept His Friendship you will never be disappointed. God wants us to have good friends, and to be good friends to others. The relationship with God is the best relationship you can ever have. Our friendships should be based on genuine love, care & concern for the other person. A friend is not someone who is with you because of your popularity or wealth. True friends will love you in spite of who you are. This is the kind of friend all of us should have who will both laugh & cry with you, and be there for you in all situations.

A true friend sees the first tear, catches the second, and stops the third. Choose your friends wisely and prayerfully, because a true friend is a friend for life!

Try to fix the broken friendships. Even if you have let someone down, It's not too late to make amends. Ask God to help you have the courage to apologize & try to fix things. He is the best friend you could have, and he can teach you how to be a good friend too!

Remember - If we hold a grudge against someone, the door to God will be closed. It will be absolutely closed, with no way to him. Only if we forgive others will we be forgiven.

SUCCESS OF FAMILY RELATIONSHIP

The family is the most important social structure of any society. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a perfect family. There are, however, principles that, if followed, Will help each family to be all that God intended it to be.

1. LOVE -
If we truly love our family, we would be willing to lay down our lives so that they might live. The true test, however, is if we lay down our rights and demands on others in everyday situations of life. Love is proven not just by words we say, but also by our actions.

2. RESPECT -
Family members must show respect for each other, even when there is disagreement on a particular matter. This is where healthy communication plays an important role.

3. COMMITMENT - 
No matter what happens, commitment is necessary for a family to survive. Many voices in contemporary society that tell us if a marriage is not working, just get out. But this is not the solution. Help can be found through prayer, studying God's Word, and the wise counsel of those who love God.

4. FORGIVENESS -
Unresolved conflicts Will often be reflected later in the relationship you have with your family. Ask forgiveness of those you have offended, and forgive those who have offended you, no matter how deeply you have been hurt. Freedom comes when we learn to forgive others in the same way that God has forgiven us.

Remember - A Family who prays together stays together forever.

TOP 10 THINGS THAT BRING SUCCESS

Steps to become a successful person in life

Jesus promised, "Put God first and do what he wants. Then everything else will be yours"

God is all for success once you give him the chance to help you succeed.

Too often the standards for success are measured by the level of education we have attained, the amount of money we have in the bank, the size of our house, or by the material possessions we possess. And in order to be successful, some are willing to do whatever it takes, even if it means bending the rules.

Education is important & a must have; there's nothing wrong with a good job and wealth if they are used well. But how we treat others and what we do with our education and money is  what people will remember about us long after we are gone.

True success can only be measured at the end of our lives by how we used what we had to serve our society & honour God. This is the only kind of success that can never be taken away from you.

Following are the simple steps to become a successful person in the life -

1. Discovering God's purpose for your life. (He has the best plan.)

2. Talking to God in prayer. (Get real with him. He knows what's in your heart anyways.)

3. Believing that God loves you unconditionally.

4. Living peacefully with others. (Conflicts rob you of energy and motivation.)

5. Loving others in spite of their faults. (Maybe they will overlook yours.)

6. Choosing Good Friends (A mark of true success.)

7. Starting over after making mistakes. (We must make each day as new and fresh experience.)

8. Working hard at something you like or something that is required of you. (You'll feel good about your accomplishment.)

9. Being generous! (Give the gift of time and your abilities to others.)

10. Being honest no matter how difficult. (It builds self-respect and wins the trust and respect of others.)

LOVE

WHAT IS LOVE?

Is that just an emotion which can be found between two couples??
                      OR
Is that just an emotion which can be found between parents and their children.

WHAT IS LOVE?

The difference between "LIKE" "lOVE" and "in love" is the same as the difference between "FOR NOW" "FOR A WHILE" and "FOREVER"!

Remember this -   LOVE Doesn't Lie as People Do
                                    LOVE Doesn't Leave as People Do
                                   LOVE Won't Hurt You as People will

Then where can we find a true love and a true lover?

Before explaining that Read the beautiful story given below -

A wealthy man and his son loved to collect rare works of art. They had everything in their collection from Picasso to Raphael. They would often sit together and admire the great works of art.
When the Vietnam conflict broke out, the son went to war. He was very courageous and died in battle while rescuing another soldier. The father was notified and grieved deeply for his only son.
About a month later, just before Christmas, there was a knock at the door. A young man stood at the door with a large package in his hands. He said, "Sir, you don't know me, but I am the soldier for whom your son gave his life. He saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart, and he died instantly. He often talked about you, and your love for art." The young man held out his package. "I know this isn't much. I'm not really a great artist, but I think your son would have wanted you to have this."
The father opened the package. It was a portrait of his son, painted by the young man. He stared in awe at the way the soldier had captured the personality of his son in the painting. The father was so drawn to the eyes that his own eyes welled up with tears. He thanked the young man and offered to pay him for the picture. "Oh, no sir, I could never repay what your son did for me. It's a gift."
The father hung the portrait over his mantle. Every time visitors came to his home, he took them to see the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other great works he had collected.

The man died a few months later. There was to be a great auction of his paintings. Many influential people gathered, excited over seeing the great paintings and having an opportunity to purchase one for their collection. On the platform sat the painting of the son. The auctioneer pounded his gavel. "We will start the bidding with this picture of the son. Who will bid for this picture?" There was silence. Then a voice in the back of the room shouted, "We want to see the famous paintings. Skip this one." But the auctioneer persisted. "Will someone bid for this painting? Who will start the bidding? $100, $200?" Another voice shouted angrily, "We didn't come to see this painting. We came to see the Van Goghs, the Rembrandts. Get on with the real bids!" But still the auctioneer continued, "The son! The son! Who'll take the son?"
Finally, a voice came from the very back of the room. It was the longtime gardener of the man and his son. "I'll give $10 for the painting." Being a poor man, it was all he could afford. "We have $10, who will bid $20?" "Give it to him for $10. Let's see the masters." "$10 is the bid, won't someone bid $20?" The crowd was becoming angry. They didn't want the picture of the son. They wanted a more worthy investments for their collections. The auctioneer pounded the gavel. "Going once, twice, SOLD FOR $10!"
A man sitting on the second row shouted, "Now, let's get on with the collection!" The auctioneer laid down his gavel. "I'm sorry, the auction is over." "What about the paintings?" "I am sorry. When I was called to conduct this auction, I was told of a secret stipulation in the will. I was not allowed to reveal that stipulation until this time. Only the painting of the son would be auctioned. Whoever bought that painting would inherit the entire estate, including the paintings. The man who took the son gets everything!"

God gave his Son 2000 years ago to die on a cruel cross. Much like the auctioneer, His message today is, "The Son, the Son, who'll take the Son?" Because you see, whoever takes the Son gets everything.


The Bible Says, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16


Remember this - You are loved unconditionally by a greater love than you can ever imagine! God loves you, now and forever! 

His Love Never Fails. <3
