Love Believes the Best

APRIL 3
http://www.ccf.org.ph/love-believes-the-best/

To fall in love is one thing but to stay in love for a lifetime is SOMETHING.

Love bears all things
Love believes all things
Love hopes all things
Love endures all things

Love Believes the Best .. Endures the Worst

In the Christian Life:
The battlefield is in the mind

Advice:
When you wake up in the morning..
open your bible .. NOT email, NOT FACEBOOK!!!

Secret to a long relationship:
Positive Illusion
- give each other the benefit of the doubt

How to be a positive thinker:
believe that God is good,
nothing is impossible with God,
Confidence is in God alone not with people
Don't put your confidence in the ability of human nature to change people
but put your confidence in God's ability to change people...

If you don't assume responsibility on the way you think you will encounter problems.
Because the way you think impact lives and relationship.

By doubting people you don't help them but showing trust will empower them to change.

Do not judge so that you will not be judged.

Silver lining of the dark clouds

It came about as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.
Exodus 16:10

I was reading the devotion and I read this phrase "looked for a silver lining on the dark clouds" and then I read the newspaper lifestyle section and once again saw this phrase "looked for a silver lining on the storm clouds.

As of this time, I could perfectly relate to it. It's like Im being crowded by this dark clouds. Literally, when we went to Acuatico there are dark clouds all over which is a perfect setting on our disagreements/argument that night. I'm having this struggle since it's not just the first time. I know it's a petty sin compared to others but still I'm affected and hurt. I'm trying to be strong and act normal but its really really really hard. I'm constantly paranoid.

God knows what's in my heart. I just pray that I can hold on and be strong.

And I think it's God's way of letting me know that there is indeed silver lining on the dark clouds.
