We Must Earnestly Seek In Order To Receive

Other people can give good advice, but you have to devote the time yourself to get the answers that you are after.

We Must Earnestly Seek In Order To Receive

There is a world full of things that we are unsure about. For many people, these things are spiritual questions. And even though we do not know, we can do one thing to change that.

We must earnestly seek after the questions that we ask about God. You cannot simply google the answer or just open the bible to take a look. It involves a lot of praying and time devoted to the scriptures.

For me personally, there have been a variety of things that I questioned about God. My head would spin with a million questions and I thought about them quite often. I did try googling what other people had said, but that only opened up even more questions for me to wonder about. You can never rely on what other people tell you because they may have a different point of view than you or just plain get the answer wrong. I also tried to just find a specific verse to answer my question. Sometimes you can find the answer like that but not always. God wants you to seek him and chase after him to really get to know him. Scripture says to, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." God also has said that, "you will seek me and find me, whenever you seek me with all your heart."

There are spiritual questions that we do not know in this world. Some of them we may never know while we are here. You have to earnestly seek after him and not worry about what other people are saying. Other people can give good advice, but you have to devote the time yourself to get the answers that you are after.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
