Reflections!

REFLECTIONS!

1. We find what we look for in people. If we look for God, we find God. If we look for bad qualities, we will find exactly that. It is therefore up to us, only us, to select what to choose, as that is what we will receive.


2. A life without challenges would be like going to school without lessons to learn. Challenges come not to depress or get us down, but to teach and help us grow.


3. A person who has come into our life has come either to teach us something, or to learn something from us.


4. A rich, full life is not determined by outer circumstances and relationships. These can be contributory to it, but cannot be the source. We are happy or unhappy because of what we think and feel.


5. We can never lose anything that belongs to us, nor can we possess what is not really ours.


6. We need to deal with each problem as it arises. we should never try to run from it, as either it will chase us or we will run into another one just like it, maybe with a different face or name.


7. To have no concern for tomorrow. Today is the yesterday over which we had worried so much. We just have to do our best and leave the rest to our Lord.


8. To never bang on a "closed" door. Wait for it to open, which it will, when the time is right, and then go through it peacefully.


9. In God's wise and loving plan for us, no burden can fall upon us, no emergency can arise, no grief can overtake us, before we are given the grace and strength to meet them.
