Self acceptance is one thing thats very crucial in someone’s life. When you don’t accept yourself, say the way you look, walk, talk etc you tend to have bery low esteem which will drain you off your confidence. The only way you can draw confidence to yourself is by accepting the person that you are. Many of us tend to compete with our friemds so that we can look like them and thats the worst thing anyone could ever do to themselves. I totally agree with your centiments its very true. Its very true that experiences brings out the true character of someone. Or bad breaks. When one is in a situation that they are completely not in control of, or when one is vulnerable thats when you will get to see or know the weakness and strengths of that person. So we are all different in our own ways and finding ourselves can save us so much turmoil and pain.

Blessings are apart of life, and so are curses. We are encouraged to seek blessings and once received we are to bless others in return. Blessing begets blessing, and curse begets curse. Isaac’s blessing to Jacob in the book of Genesis entails “cursed be everyone that curses you and blessed be everyone that blesses you!” (Genesis 27:29)

God is imdeed our ultimate strength without him we are nothing. Being a christian is not as easy as it may look or seem. As a chriatian you have to go through so many yrials and temptations, thats when you know for real that God is trully what you need. He will allow you to go through certain things or trails to test your faith. Are you strong enough to bear it all by yourself? Of cause not you will need God at some point and when you call out for him he will be there to hold your hand and walk you through the trouble. God’s strength is immeasurable, he avails it to anyone who needs it or whoever asks of him. In the bible we are told that his promises are yea and Amen. He is not a receptor of persons he is an amazing God. Whatsoever you ask in his name he is and you believe you shall receive. So when you pray and ask God to bless you he will bless you, so long as your intentions are right.

Be on your guard and avoid every kind of greed, for even though you have many possessions, it is not that which gives you life. (Luke 12:15)

Sin will not be lacking where too many words are spoken; the prudent man controls his tongue.-Proverbs 10:19
The Godless man uses his mouth to destroy his neighbor but the virtuous use their wisdom to save themselves.-Proverbs 11:19
The scoundrel stirs up trouble; his critical comments split up friends.-Proverbs 16:28
O Lord, set a guard at my mouth, keep watch at the gate of my lips.-Psalm 141:3

Being a christian could be easy but living a chriatian life is the hardest part. Some people believe that going to church faithfully makes you a christian, but the truth is its not. Going to church regularly just makes you a regular church attendant. Being chriatian means you live by the word of God and do what the word says. Thats why they say living a chrsitian life ia not easy. Its almost like saying living a perfect life which is impossible because there is no one who is perfect in this world because we have all fallen short of the glory of God. Tje spiritual journey is not for the faimt hearted for aure. Once you start up on it be sure that you will have to loose much to gain much. You will loose some of your friends, the things you loved doing will be put aside, some of the places you loved to visit will also be put aside so a lot chnages when you get into the spiritual journey and you should be willing to let go.

He is the son of God.

The false witness will not go unpunished, the liar will not escape.-Proverbs 19:5
Do away with all quarreling, rage, anger, insults and every kind of malice.-Ephesians 4:31
Do not make false statements and do not join hands with the wicked by being a malicious witness.-Exodus 23:1
Those who think they are religious but do not restrain their tongue, deceive themselves and their religion is in vain.-James 1:26
Do not go about as a slanderer of your people and do not seek the death of your neighbor; I am Yahweh.-Leviticus 19:16
