Why do we get so jealous when others get what we want? I ask myself this question and I almost immediately know the answer: "Because the other person did not go through what I went through, and I deserve it more than they do. I worked for it, prayed for it, and they just get it handed to them on a silver platter." I'm referring specifically towards my cousin, who has been dating a girl named Rebecca for almost two years now. It broke my heart because the name Rebecca, as I'm sure I have mentioned before, is very special to me. It means something very dear to me, and God knows it, and my parents know it, and my best friend knows it. It's something I let very few people in on, so I won't tell here. However, it broke my heart because at...

Now faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Does this mean our faith shall become stronger by hearing and studying the Word? When we only study and hear it is like seeing ourselves in a mirror, because when we leave the presence of the mirror we forget who we are. When we see ourselves and put into practice what the Word says we are, then we shall remember who we are. A major part of the Word is "doing", not studying. Jesus said we are now capable of healing the sick, raising the dead, and casting out devils because of the power and authority we have jointly inherited with Him. How is our faith strengthened in that belief? By studying about that belief in the Word, or by doing it? 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself...

This really helped me with what I was going through today. God bless you all!

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him?? Psalm 8:3-4 This has become one of my favorite verses. We stay so self-absorbed with our own lives and thoughts.....but think about it......There is a Creator.....who created all of the universe, the heavens, the stars, the oceans, the mountains....all nature we can see or hear....our Heavenly Father, created.....and yet he sees us as individuals.....and he loves each of us. He knew you when you were being formed in your Mother's womb....and even then, he knew his plans for your life.....None of us are here by chance or accident. And he knows us each one, better than we know ourselves...

Please remember that Jesus loves you far more than you could ever love that person. Turn to Him and be filled with joy and peace. Hallelujah!!

Lately I have been haunted by regret. "I should have asked her out when I had the chance. Should have asked ### to give me her number. Should have tried to make friends with her." I see couples that are so happy together, and I immediately feel the urge to punch the nearest object out of frustration. It's not fair. Why can't I get a date, I can't even seem to be able to make friends. Everything stops me. If not rejection then a miscommunication. If not a miscommunication then a stand up or false number. If not that any number of obstacles I cannot surpass. I have given up hope of even finding someone at this point. And I'm miserable. I thought giving up was what God wanted me to do. I feel so cheated. I don't know what to think. I don't...

```markdown (I Samuel 9:15-16) “Now the day before Saul came, the Lord had revealed this to Samuel: “About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin. Anoint him ruler over My people Israel; he will deliver them from the hand of the Philistines. I have looked on My people, for their cry has reached Me.†In I Samuel 8 the Israelites asked Samuel for a king and this in itself is not what displeased the Lord it was the attitude in asking. They had had up and down faith. They did not conquer all of their enemies and the gods of the land infiltrated the Israelite community and they intermarried as well. So they began worshiping the gods of the land. This is the reason why we are to come out from them and be...
