enemies

If somebody is trying to make you look bad by spreading rumors and telling lies, really, they have done you a favor. What they mean for your harm, God is going to use to promote you. The more they talk, the more God promotes us. The more they talk, the higher we go.
Maybe at the office somebody is trying to make you look bad, talking behind your back, taking things out of context. They said this about me.
Well, let me tell you what I know about them." No, don't sink down to their level. Don't let their poison cloud your heart. Learn to bless your enemies.
When we know that God is our vindicator and rewards us when we don't take matters into our own hands, that takes all the pressure off. We don't have to try to pay people back and get involved in battles that don't really matter and set the record straight. Let God fight your battles for you. If you will stay on the high road, God will take what others mean for harm, and He will use it to your advantage.
When we learn to bless our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, we keep our heart free from strife and give God more room to bless us, promote us, and speak to us more.

set back

It's not uncommon for us to face set-backs in life.But it takes a man with confidence, faith, positive attitude to over come it. It might look like its burning and destroying your dreams, relationships, career, finances, happiness but we need to understand that its God burning your negativity, fear, depressed attitude. It's just God wants us to stretch our faith and vision to make us better and bless us with the divine light to come to us. Keep in faith and God is going to pour out his blessings in your life.

worry

Realize that your environment does not prevent you from you being happy.
Don't worry about the things you cant change.
You can't change the traffic in your area, you cant fix your boss everyday at work, nor you can change your own family members .But you shuldn't let these keep you from being happy.
You can change your own attitude. You can choose to be happy right where you are.
It's not so important where you are , start your day with the right attitude- worry not for things you can never change.
Be happy and stay content.

tale of three trees

The olive tree, an oak tree, and the pine tree had a great dream to become something special in life.
The olive tree dreamed of becoming a finely crafted chest.It wanted to hold gold, silver, and precious jewellery.When the woodman cut the tree, the olive tree was excited.But as he craftsman began working, it reliazed that they were making him into a box to hold food for dirty, smelly animals,instead of a beautiful chest.Heartbroken, his dreams were shattered and it felt worthless.
The oak tree dreamed of becoming part of the huge ship that would carry important kings across the ocean.As the woodsman cut down he oak tree, it was so excited.Later he reliazed, they were making him into a tiny fishing boat, insead of huge ship.
The pine tree lived on top of a high mountain.Its only dream was to always stand tall and remind people of God's reat creation.But in split second, a bolt of lightning sent it tumbling to the ground, destroying its dreams.
All the trees felt they had lost their values and their worth.But God had other plans for these trees.
Many years later, Mary and Joseph couldn't find any place to give birth to their little boy.
When jesus was born they placed him in the box made from-you guessed it-the olive tree.Now the olive tree held the greatest treasure of all time.
A few years later, jesus wanted a boat to cross the lake, he dint choose a large fancy ship, he chose a small fishing boat made from-you guessed it- the oak tree.The oak now carried the king of kings.
A few more years went by, the pine tree was discarded as a scrap of wood.
But much to its surprise, they cut only two small pieces out of it and formed the cross.And it was on this pine tree that jesus was cricified.That tree is sill poining people to God's love and compassion to this day.
The point of this classic story - all three trees thought they had lost their value, yet they became integral parts of the greatest story ever told.
