You are destined to do great things. God created you for a purpose. God has opportunities He wants to give you & assignments with which He wants to entrust you. As you know at this point in your life that you will face opposition as you follow God. People who are called to greatness meet great challenges. God never said it would be easy but possible. God will see us through the difficulties, to fight on our behalf, to strengthen us to overcome any obsatcle we confront and to give us the ability to overcome them under one condition: THAT YOU NEVER GIVE UP! NO MATTER WHAT COMES YOUR WAY, REFUSE TO QUIT in JESUS CHRIST name. GOD WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU. NEVER FORGET THAT!!

Holy shit I have never seen a more blatant display of Jesus-down-the-throat hatching

Not an Christian, but I respect your beliefs, and you do them justice. Well said.

The world could use a bit more spirituality. Most forms of religious belief say many of the same things....

It ain't all about you
Say your sorry to those people you've hurt and you know, the Golden Rule stuff
Get off your butt and help other people who need it

I was listening to something by the Dali Lama the other day, he suggests that depression stems from a lack of love. I'm not a Bible beater but hear the message that God loves me unconditionally.

Exactly! I love my deity and while in Meditation, I can feel that love returned.

Try to be a good person. Keep your thoughts, words and deeds in order. Try to do what you feel is right. Harm none who do not stand poised to harm you.

Blessed be to all,
Rev Bear

I think not giving up and leaving the rest where it belongs is a very positive message.
Thank you

Boognish, tabby put religion in her post, and I feel it was a lovely inspirational message. I am atheist and detest religious messages but respect ones right to post especially with a title in the heading. Tabby, you keep making the other religios folks happy and hopeful with ur religion warning.

ElenaNJ 12/20/2012

Meaning mAking people happy while using the word "encouragement religion" in your title. The person who cursed about it had the choice not to look.

Moot point. This post meant to uplift and soothe folks. Not debate.
