Trust

One of the most difficult things in the world is to find people that you trust. People that have your best interests at heart, people that wont lie to you when you ask them for your opinion. I am sure we all have "friends" that will tell us what we want to hear but is that what we call a true friend?
I am someone that prefers straight talk but I also know there are ways of answering hard questions that friends ask. Although I am a straight talker I take care not to offend.
We need friends that will tell us when we are doing something that will not benefit us. We need friends that will not judge us. We need friends that will be just our friends and listen, sometimes without even saying anything at all.

Many of us have done things that we are ashamed of or at some point in the future we may do something that causes us pain or others pain. It is at that point we will need TRUE FRIENDS.

Think how hard it is to open up to someone with your inner most thoughts. Do you have someone that you could expose your whole life to and know that they will still love you in true friendship.

We can all reach out to God and open up to God about our thoughts. At the end of the day God already knows us and knows what we have done but yet God still loves us.

My thought for today is find someone that you can open up to. Someone that you can trust because not only do we all need this but we will all benefit from it.

Be Blessed

Trust in God's word not mans

If you went along to a church and they told you what to wear, how to act, what humour was appropriate, what films you could watch, what books you could read and in fact tried to take control of your whole life, I am sure most people would decide not to come back to that church. Yet their are many churches and faiths that try to do this.
There is no doubt that as a Christian you would want to become more Christ like and that can mean not watching or reading certain things that will be of NO benefit to ones mind. In fact you don't have to be a Christian to understand that. But when a church decides what you must think for you, your alarm bells will be ringing.
Many cults will try and impose their belief system on individuals. Cults that wrap themselves under the Christian label. Cults that are all smiles on the outside but inside they desire to have you believe what they want you to believe.

Make NO mistake, there are some Christian churches that are so full of laws that you will need a PHD to understand them and a very strong personality to resist them.


1. Do you accept Christ as your saviour
2. Read and meditate on God's word
3. Find a good Bible believing Church
4. Obey God
5. Grow in faith with God's grace
6. Love


Some would have you follow 100 rules but then they themselves would not live up to the rules they would impose on you.

Man corrupts God's word they way he has corrupted everything else that he touches. Trust not in mans word but in God's
