Committing our daily promise to God

How we can help our fellow brothers and sisters

Committing our daily promise to God

This week, I wanted to take an opportunity to really talk about something important. This is something that I truly feel is not really brought up in conversation. And that is, being there for someone when they need you and how that can affect your relationship with God.

We are all emotional human beings, no one can deny that, right? So, with that being said, if your friend, or relative or someone you are close with, is asking you for some extra love and support, be that extra shoulder they can lean on. Because, when you are that extra shoulder or that one person everyone can count on for a conversation or just some support or advice, then ultimalety, you are echoing what god wants us to do for one another. And that is, sharing some sacrificial love and shining the light of hope, peace and joy, so we can all strive to be who God wants us to be as human beings on the earth he created for us.

God loves everyone and he wants us to be successful, and whithout us being there for one another, this can not be possible. When we take a step closer towards humanity, we are taking one step closer to God.

Many of us don't realize this, but we are made to be humanitarians and children to God. We must serve him and make him feel like he fulfilled his purpose in creating us all.

You know, I ask myself and I'm sure most of us ask the same questions numerous amounts of times, Why do I have a feeling of loneliness inside of me? How can I be the person God made me to be? Can I commit myself to loving myself, and others equally? Why does everything have to be a process?

Well, for most of those questions, the answers are simple, the only one who can control your actions and feelings are yourself. But, when you need help, there are plenty of resources there for you. I have learned that myself, I feel blessed and thankful that I have so many people that I value and trust with my thoughts and emotions. And that it is OK to ask for help!

So, my point is, make yourself available to others. I remember writing about this in one of my very first articles, helping someone can truly make you feel better about yourself and the person who benefited from your support. My friends and family know, I'm here for them and the feeling is mutual for when I need them too.

In the end, making someone's day brighter can help make your own day brighter as well. And let us hope and pray for those who need help that they get the love, strength and mercy of God, now and always!

Thanks be to God and may God bless you all!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
