| believer | St Paul's beautiful words of wisdom
St. Paul said, "Suffering produces endurance, endurance produces character, character produces hope, and Hope does not disappoint us"... Jomey showed me this saying of St Paul..What a beautiful thing to remember! shout out to all the believers..In a world that looks to me colder and colder, sometimes i despair and doubt of my faith..I know till the day i die, i am gonna have to keep believing in something, even if the name changes, love will always be my light in this world!..I sometimes turn on the tv or see people's reactions..It seems like people are getting more and more mean...I don't know why..But all these people who like to see others down, i never got that..Guess i'll never understand..That's why i keep believing God has to exist.....Sometimes it gets hard, i think we're do i think..But here in SR i realize there are still good people in the world! take care
__________________ the biggest power a being is given is the now. in the now there is will, choice and therefore a power with no boundaries; for what is born from pure love has no seasons, only continuity, then growth. your spirit will tell you the truth. there's a silence within the silence. |

In a world when people walk away from God, more and more we see the morals of the country go down lower and lower... that is why we see so much bad news on the TV. When we had seen 9 11 happen right before our very eyes... many people turned from a direction of despair and looked toward God. Here on SR we see people come here with no answers and their hope almost gone. In contrast... they find answers and renew their hopes. They find out they are not alone. Their spirits start to shine... We see the brightness of their hopes as their spirits shine. Because of the contrast, we see the loved shared much brighter here on SR. When you feel the despair and come here, you start to find that hope again. When we can't come here, we can still gather that hope and in greater measure... God is always there and we can always go to Him. As I read and listen to His word (the bible), I always get filled with the hope that Jesus' love gives us. So just remember... If you feel despair, know that Jesus does care.
