Greatest Power In The Universe

Sat, 12 Sep 2009 05:06 EST

The flow of power between the Creator and man is the world's greatest power. It lies at the heart of human beings. And it is released and transmitted by means of a mechanism known as PRAYER.

The reason I believe in the power of prayer is that over and over again I have seen what it can do for people. I know what it has done for me. To change a human being is the greatest feat imaginable, because the most complicated entity in the world is man himself. Man is riddled with contradictions, he is shackled with habit patterns, he has prejudices,he has resistance, he has complexities. He is the sum total of countless influences playing upon him since infancy. So when we talk about changing him, we know it will require some force of enormous power to do so. And only prayer has this power.

The key to successful living, to happiness, to everything is to saturate our minds, plans, hopes and dreams with prayers.

One best way of praying is to take all our problems and to put them in the powerful hands of God and ask Him for guidance. He will clear our thinking and give us creative ideas and restore hope and energy and confidence in us. We must pray in depth, with all the power of belief. And then prepare ourselves for great things. Because miracles can happen.

MY LIFE

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 05:02 EST

M - many memories, now, keep coming back,

sweet ones, happy ones, sad ones and ones with

luck.

my thoughts, my mind can't help but wonder,

why all these past, needs to be remembered?

A - are these signs that we will meet now, my Lord?

am I going to say goodbye now, to the world?

am I ready now to meet you?

or do I have to beg for life's extensions, too?

R - right now, I know, life's been good to me,

all came into place, the way I wanted it to be.

I can't ask for more, no need to worry,

all I need to do, is to thank God everyday.

G - grandchildren I can say, were the profits I gain,

for all the hardships, and sacrifices I've been.

the happiness and joys that I got from them.

can't be compared to any wealth, or even costly

gems.

A - as always, in my room, in my solitude,

got nothing to do, but gave God my gratitude.

He blessed my family, guided and protected

and gave me a husband, so loving and protective.

R - remembering those times, I now can't believe,

as a young wife, and a young mom, can't trace

how I did it.

I gave them all the love and care that they needed,

support and help them on every problem that they

met.

E - even in my sleep, the past still haunts me,

don't understand why, and can't seem to be free.

God, I know, has a message for all of these,

please God, let me know, what really is it?

T - today I can feel that my life is full of contentment,

no more sadness, no more heartaches and no more

tears.

if only I can interpret the meaning of my dreams,

life would be too fulfilling, and at peace.

T - the friends I gained through internet,

brings so much joy, in my life, to the fullest.

because in my life's puzzle, they are the missing

piece,

I never have them before, in my younger years.

E - every time I feel, this stabbing pain in my heart,

I just looked up to the sky, and would ask God, is

it now?

everything has an end, nothing would ever last,

even our treasured lives, . . . . . . . including

MY LIFE.

On Goodbyes and Beginnings

Tue, 04 Aug 2009 02:20 EST

If there is one thing I hate

and I try to avoid as much as possible

it is goodbyes.

Goodbyes for are sad occasions,

of parting of ways,

whether temporarily or permanently.

What devastates me more are goodbyes

that happen due to unfavorable circumstances:

break-ups,

falling outs,

of friendships and relationships gone bad.

Of irreconcillable differences.

Of friends lost.

Of course it will hurt for a while,

but then life does not stop there,

life goes on and we have to move on,

we move on to new friendships,

and to new relationships.

Meet new friends.

And new lovers.

It is a cycle that when one ends,

another one begins.

Just as some goodbyes can be forever,

some happen to make way

for making up at a later time.

One thought that consoles me

during goodbyes

is the thought that,

oftentimes

we have to say goodbye

to be able to say our hello's

once again. . .

Freedom

Fri, 29 May 2009 02:07 EST

A state whereby one is free from the control of fate or of necessity. It might be conceived as an exemption or release from slavery or imprisonment.

But for me. . . .freedom is more than that. . . it is personal. . . . it is an exemption or release from autocratic control. It is the power of self-determination. . . . it is independence. . . . it is the state of being able to act without hindrance. . . . it is liberty of action.

It is one of the most precious privileges. Though it is not a measurable physical thing. . but it does exist for all humans up to the very point of his death. Limitation of freedom will effect our well-being. . . and if taken away, the person effected will die. For this reason, freedom can be likened to the air we breath, . . . its absence will bring about misery and eventual death.

Freedom did not come free. . It is earned at the greatest costs. . . It is ours only as long as we are willing to guard it, . . defend it,. . and to fight for it. We must pay the price for freedom, or else, it will be taken from us.

I was so strenghtless, and was not strong to stand forcefully to guard my freedom. I was not cautious and vigilant to defend and fight for it. I lost my freedom. . . and now I'm. . . . dead.

Courage And Fear

Sat, 02 May 2009 04:41 EST

Courage doesn't always mean doing something dramatic or heroic, many people show enormous amounts of courage and bravery in their daily lives. They may have many fears, but they still go on doing their duties, fighting courageously against many obstacles, struggling to make their lives better. In other words, ordinary people often show unbelievable courage when they fight against hard circumstances, physical challenges and handicaps, sometimes even being victims of mental or physical violence but still coming through it all.

Many people need more courage and bravery in their daily lives than famous heroes in their special feats. Heroes have many supporters, they get great rewards that spun them on, thus they often need less determination and courage than ordinary people fighting alone, doing their work silently and without support. "Courage doesn't always roar", writes Mary Ann Radmacher, "sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow".

Life Is What We Make It

Tue, 24 Feb 2009 21:14 EST

To live life fully. . .we must learn to take responsibility for it. . . for our own selves. No one can change us unless we want to. No one can teach us anything unless we desire to learn.

Others may encourage, persuade or manipulate us to change, but, we ourselves, must have the final decision to grow and change. Because change in us can only happen from within, from our own life.

If we want to be successful in life. . . we must be responsible for it. . . and not depend on others to do it for us.
