Bullying

Hello everyone,

Today I would like to talk about the world wide problem everyone --yes I mean everyone-- faces at times or even all the time. Bullying. It has occurred to me that a lot more people than I thought of are getting bullied daily. I don't think that it is fair. We have all been bullied and even been the bully even if we don't want to admit or even if we don't know. I've been there. I have had to forgive a lot of people and I have had to get forgiveness from people. The thing is how we handle this delicate situation we have to handle it with a soft firmness if that makes sense. We have to stop it but not be the bully by stopping it. It's like super heroes. You fight off evil with.. well evil is what it looks like. Don't be fooled by it. Bullying is sort of the same thing. People need to know how to handle it. You don't be rude or hateful or embarrass the bully. You find the reason why it's happening. It usually has something to do with a personal issue. Not always but usually. Maybe someone called you ugly or fat or even too skinny. Let tell you something in in Genesis 1:27 it says: "So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." So tell yourself you are made perfect the way you are no matter what bully comes at you. The truth is they just see that you are better than them in parts of their life and they don't like that. It may be your personality is kinder than their's or maybe your voice is softer and the words come out sweeter. They are truly jealous they don't have someone to tell them that they are fearfully and wonderfully made by God and that they are loved no matter what they do! Don't get rude about it just know you're beautiful or handsome and God loves you no matter what. God loves the sinners just hates the sin. Bullying is a serious matter. You need to think about how you are talking to others and how you are treating them. Just because something is going on with you and a person or you're having a personal issue, don't let that affect the way you treat people. The Bible says people will know you're a Christian by the fruits you bear. If us Christians are bearing bad fruits non-believers are going to say, "Well I don't have to be a Christian if we're both doing the same things. It's just a label." You should be the one that makes people look back and think, wow she/he really stood up for me. Make people want to listen to you about The Lord. The definition of bullying is the use superior of strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force him or her to do what one wants. So they are already in a vulnerable position so take advantage of that in a good way. Tell those kids that are getting bullied or even the bully that God loves them. That bully is going through tough times just like the person getting bullied because there is always a reason why that person is bullying. It's because they see that you pray in situations instead of blowing up and they see they can hurt you easily because you're kind hearted. Someone sees that in them and has problems of their own. It's all a cycle. Don't be a part of the cycle unless it's the part where healing takes place but all you can do is pray God is the healer. Remember this week whether it's at work or if you're still in school or maybe just going to a friends house. God loves you and God loves them. Sometimes people just need to know they are loved and they are going to be okay.

I hope this blessed you!!

Thank you for your time and God bless you,

Hello everyone,

Today I'd like to share with you something semi-personal. I have been going through things lately like feeling sad, then happy then sad. Well that's normal for a teen aged girl. Well I started to feel unloved and alone and I didn't know what to do. I just thought I was never going to be happy because I was going to be alone forever. I bet you're wondering why I'm saying this well it's because today I want to address the I'm not alone factor. 
Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. That's 1 Peter 5:7. I love that scripture and I also love 
Isaiah 41:10-13 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Behold, all who are incensed against you shall be put to shame and confounded; those who strive against you shall be as nothing and shall perish. You shall seek those who contend with you, but you shall not find them; those who war against you shall be as nothing at all. For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.” 
It let's me know that He loves me and He's there for me when I need him and He won't ever leave me. No matter how many millions of steps away from Him and only one step it may be a big step but it's only one step back to the altar to pray and to seek God. He's always there waiting patiently for you and He'll never leave you no matter how many times you leave Him. It's normal to feel sad and to feel like nobody care but you just have to tell yourself that God cares even if you don't believe it at first. Tell yourself until you do believe it.

I hope this blessed you!

Thank you for your time and God bless you,

Hello everyone,

As I said in my last post I am going to be talking about a poem. This poem is very special to me and very meaningful.

If you can't read it it says:

 People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered:

 Forgive them anyway

 If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives:

 Be kind anyway

 If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies:

 Succeed anyway

 If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you:

 Be honest and frank anyway

 What you spend years building, may be destroyed over night:

 Build anyway

 If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous:

 Be happy anyway

 The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow:

 Do good anyway

 Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough:

 Give the world the best you've got anyway

 You see, in the final analysis, it is all between you and God:

 It was never between you and them anyway.

What I get out of this is two different ways of thinking. One way of thinking always do your best and never quit because God didn't quit on you and then number two. Number two is you forgive them anyway because the Bible not only tells you so but you should want to because Jesus did. Jesus was treated terrible and He was kind anyway. He conquered death, hell, and the grave and yet people didn't want Him to succeed but you see He did. People were dishonest around Him but He was honest and frank anyway. People tried to keep tearing Jesus down but what did He do? He kept building. He walked around with happiness and it may not say it right there in the scripture but in the Galatians it talks about the fruits of the spirit and how if you bear good fruits which are those fruits then you can tell if someone is a Christian. You knew Jesus walked through the streets in happiness because He was about His Father's business. People have often forgot Jesus died everyone. Not just the good people He bleed and died for the good and the bad and the cruel and the saints. The good He did on Mount Calvary that day is often forgotten throughout peoples lives. But He died anyway. He said even if it were just for one person to get saved He'd do it all over again. He gave the world His best! He gave them freedom and free will to follow Him. In the end it was for God to help save people. Without Jesus we wouldn't be saved we would be lost forever. It all comes down to you and God though whether or not you're going to serve Him or not? He gave you that choice.

I hope this blessed you!

Thank you for your time and God bless,

God's Time

Hello everyone,

Today I want to share about God's time and not ours and when He puts people in our path for a certain time for a reason. I have a friend and I really have a strong bond with this friend. You could call him my best friend and you'd be right. I really enjoy his company and we get along great. But I got to thinking someday he might not be in my path anymore and that sometimes can hurt someone. I was sort of upset and didn't know why it has to be like that, why God has to take people out of our lives sometimes but I now understand. It's because the scripture says in Ecclesiastes:  
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
There is a time in each of our lives where God has to take someone or something out of our lives to get us closer to Him. I have learned the hard way at times when He's not your number one He will break you heart until He is our only thing we have to hold on to. That may sound cruel but think of it this way; a mother scolding her child for going into the road when there is cars that go on that road. She does it for the child's own good right? That's what God is doing He's saying that trying to fill that void in your life isn't going to work unless you put Him first because He is that void that's missing. You can't replace Him with Facebook or Instagram or your cell phone or a boyfriend or girlfriend. It all come down to you and God. There is a poem called Final Analysis and that will be in my next post. But if you pay close attention to what the end says it says; You see, in the final analysis, it is all between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway. So just because someone is taken out of your life doesn't mean you or that person did anything it's because it's between you and God and not them. 

I hope this blessed you and I hope you come back to my blog!

Thank you for your time God bless,

Scripture for Today

Hello everyone,
Today I'd like to share two scriptures with you...

Nahum 1:7- (The LORD is good, a Strength and Stronghold in the day of trouble; He knows recognizes, has knowledge of, and understands) those who take refuge and trust in Him.

1 John 2:15-16- 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

I hope you all had a wonderful day or will have a wonderful day depending on your time zone! May God bless you and your family!

Jesus loves you,

Kadesia <3
