<description><![CDATA[Sometimes it is very difficult to keep putting in the effort when the results are unfavorable. We become drained of energy and feel numb to hope or inspiration. During these times it is impossible to find a reason to keep on trying. The thing to note here is that there are many reasons why results do not go in our favor. It is important to understand these reasons and work on ourselves to ensure that we haven't lost hope in our wishes.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Every individual journey in life has its setbacks that are dully noted by those who traverse the path. How ever these setbacks might have come about we believe that they are obstacles placed in our way to prevent us from fulfilling our life's wishes as we desire. The difference between any type of journey and a spiritual journey is that there are no setbacks in a spiritual journey. Whatever was meant to be will be because it is not by our strength that things are accomplished but by the will of the Lord. That said we also have a role to play in our spiritual journey based on the guidance given to us by our Lord. We can do this willfully without consequences or unwillingly and make our journey a struggle.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Every journey in life needs places of encouragement to keep us focused on making it to completion. A spiritual journey is no different and like any journey we make in life it also has its key markers that dictate to us what progress we have made. The difference between a spiritual journey and other journeys is that there is a constant discovery of something new within us. In other words we are not reborn once but every time there is a significant spiritual change within us. Our Lord says we should live each day as it comes and not regard for raiment or food for the next day. He teaches us how to ask and believe that we have received. There are many more of his teachings that dictate our spiritual journey.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It is rarely a deliberate act when those we love suddenly become our adversaries. People we love aren't looking to hurt us, by the same token that we are not thinking of doing the same to them. However our existence is unpredictable and there are many peaks and troughs in our lives that could lead to this situation. It must be mentioned that the circumstances rarely go to the extreme for the love is always hidden beneath the surface.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Most times we believe that in order to be happy we should have no worries. We believe that if we have all that we desire then all the worries would go away. Unfortunately this type of reasoning is part of the reason why our worries never seem to end. By the same token that food strengthens our body and gives us the energy to carry on so does worry do the same for our spirits. However if we eat excessively, have the wrong diet and have no perspective then even the food that is good for our health becomes a detriment to it. This is the same with having worries. If we cannot put them into perspective then their positive significance becomes a burden and we sink into depression.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It is easier said than understood when we voice words of faith without examining the evidence in our deeds in the spirit of how this faith is practiced.

<description><![CDATA[Most times our desires are driven by lusts rather than need. It is for this reason why those things that seem impossible to get, turn to be more desirable than those that are not. Ownership of these desirables is rarely enough, it has to come with the chance to show them off to those who cannot get as we did or to prove to those who have that we are as good, if not better than they are. Understanding this part of who we are is paramount in living a life that isn't wasteful but rather fruitful. Feeding the spirit within as opposed to gaining ground in our egos allows us to grow in a better state of existence.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Most of us grew up in school complying with peer pressure to do the wrong thing because we wanted to be liked and accepted by others. In our adult life we gain wisdom and experience that makes us better judges of how far we would go to be accepted by others. What is not so obvious are the pressures of this balancing act that can vary from person to person. Below are some of the typical scenarios in which we find ourselves in and the pressures that may lead us into crime. This is not to say that we should willingly become victims of this pressure but it is to give us the awareness that is required to overcome them.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Our Lord and savior Jesus Christ taught us to turn the other cheek when harm is done to us and by so doing we would heap coals of fire on those who wish to do harm to us. He also taught us forgiveness and learning how it is important to take the mote out of our own eyes before seeking to do the same for others. The most important factor to remember in these teachings is the spiritual element of it all. Below are three important factors to take into consideration when interpreting the word of God. Understanding the definition of these guidelines enables us to fully comprehend the Lord's teachings.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The words, 'am I my brother's keeper,' were mentioned by Cain in the Holy Bible when God asked him where his brother Abel was. Cain had killed Abel in a feat of jealousy because God accepted Abel's offering and not his. Taken loosely these words could mean very little to our everyday lives. In the spiritual sense it is not what Cain did to Abel in his feat of jealousy that we should dwell upon. It is the fact that Cain did not feel responsible for Abel.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[At the end of one year and the beginning of another we put ourselves on the stand and play judge and jury. Before long we are casting a decree of what our resolution would be and what we must accomplish for the year. It is the natural course of events so why shouldn't we be a part of this. The problem is not in making the New Year's resolution nor is it in the result. The fact is we often know what we want and what changes are necessary in our life and it is easy to see from the results at the end of the year whether this has been accomplished. The problem lies in how the resolution is made.]]></description>

Things get a little complicated when other factors cloud our thoughts such as pride, making it difficult for us to seek the help that we need.

<description><![CDATA[Forgiveness is a very important part of understanding our faith in God. It is important to forgive others but more importantly to first start by forgiving ourselves. Despite our best efforts we are incapable of punishing ourselves to fit whatever crime we may have committed. Although it is in our interest to be repentant this does not mean that placing a personal burden on ourselves would solve the problem. God would accept our repentance more when we decide to live a righteous life after we have repented for our sins.]]></description>

What we started out with disappears and is replaced by doubt, as things do not turn out as we hoped. We rarely can put a finger to it. The fact remains that a lot goes amiss in reading the wrong signals and misunderstanding each other. The truth lies in the fact that what we put out there is what we receive in return. There is so much we expose to others through our body language, actions that we are unconscious of that turn to are give off all the wrong signals.]]></description>

However when this goes a step further and we are idolized and become the center of attraction there is a tendency to look upon those that look up to us with contempt. We forget how we yearned for this admiration and take it as a given that we should receive this from those we now consider beneath us.

There is personal time which we all need to feel upset, frustrated and left out to the party of life that seems to benefit others as we see it. We are all afforded this as children of God. However we must be willing to return to the rational of being grateful for what we have. This should apply to all ages and none of us is exempt of this rational. No one should have to remind us of this but we should see it from within as it is by this that we live in peace and in God's grace.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Miracles do happen despite the fact that they are often difficult to see and eventually easily forgotten. Miracles do happen despite the fact that we eventually go out of our way to seek a rational behind them. One of the ways by which miracles happen is by commanding our speech to become a reality. If what we say comes to pass as we said it would then this is a miracle.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There are some times in life when we walk away from an argument feeling much better than if we did not have one. It is as though we had so much bottled up within us that letting this go in the way it does releases us from this burden and sets us free. The key to remember here is as long as no one is harmed or this argument does not lead to evil acts committed then it has served its purpose.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[At certain points in our lives it is very difficult to tell what purpose we serve whether it is personally or to others around us. It is not that people around us aren't appreciative of our efforts it is more a case of a greater need from within that desires to see more than is before us. We may be responsible for material needs, paternity care or the other sorts of responsibilities that are attributable to our world yet still there is one true question from within, how we fit in to the greater scale of life.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Faith is a journey that has its highs and lows. Most times it starts out on a high, when what we desire is immediately made available to us from God because we are at the infant stages of our faith. This is the 'milk' part of the journey. The other side to this journey is the 'meat' aspect of our faith where we learn the lesson of God's grace being solely sufficient for our needs. This is going through the eye of the needle and it is a true test of our faith in God.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Which of us can say that they have never uttered the words, 'I need my own space, or time to myself'? This is a luxury that we all need to be afforded at some time to give us certain nutrients that support us in our journey through life. Personal space is important and should not solely be looked upon as a means of running away from people. Those who do not seem to need this should still endeavor to take this break as it offers more than is seen on the surface.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Majority or Minority rule exists in all works of life depending on the circumstance and the situation we find ourselves in. No side is always the right one to be in, as either have their positives and negatives. Discussing these positives and negatives gives us a better understanding of which side we fall under at any given time and why we should support a particular course as opposed to another.

<description><![CDATA[The symbol of God makes us believe that to seek his existence we must search high and low and beyond in order to observe his works. Unfortunately this is seeking God through worldly wisdom and not spiritually. The basis of understanding the true miracles of God starts in our daily existence. There is a process of development before maturity in our world. What this implies is that a child of five does not immediately learn to drive. We start out riding bicycles and eventually when we are older and have a better understanding of things we move to cars. The assumption here is that we are mature enough to handle this responsibility. The same is true for the spiritual world. God cannot show us the true power of his miracles unless we have learned to see him in the simplest of things.]]></description>

This is why it is not enough to only instruct in the word of God, we must also be willing to testify of our own experiences. However testifying before others has its misgivings and it is this misgivings that prey on our minds limiting us to what we can and can't say. There is always the likelihood of being misunderstood or judged. In spite of this the power of testimony cannot be misplaced by these misgivings. A righteous testimony has a long way to travel and it is important to understand how this power can make a difference to our lives and those of others.]]></description>
