Ten scriptural principles to live by (2 Peter...
1) Guard your tongue. Always say less than you think and others will respect you.
2) Make promises sparingly, keep them faithfully, and people will trust you.
3) Never let an opportunity pass to say a kind word, and some day you will look back with joy and not regret.
4) Be genuinely interested in others; show it by listening attentively and expressing your appreciation.
5) Be cheerful. Don’t...

breanna-lynn:
These are just a few things I wish young men would know before they consider pursuing a young woman.
Pursue a woman you would seriously marry, not that you are simply attracted to.
Be friendly and become familiar (some people call this “being friends first” but you have to be careful because that is broadly defined and can create a mess). All relationships begin with friendly,...

the pursuit.
faithology:
As a woman, I will be the first to admit that I want to be pursued. The female mind has an inherent soft-spot for thoughts and fantasies of being wooed and romanced to rest upon. In the age where “women can do things now,” we try and pretend like we “don’t need no man.” Even then, we mean that we don’t need romance, but the double negative suggests otherwise.
The want to be wanted...

A Lesson Learned From Job 33
writtenonhispalms:
Commentary from my Life Application Study Bible (KJV):
Being informed brings a sense of security. It’s natural to want to know what’s happening in our lives. Job wanted to know what was going on, why he was suffering. In previous chapters, we sense his frustration. Elihu claimed to have the answer for Job’s biggest questions, “Why doesn’t God tell me what is happening?” Elihu...

So so so so blessed for the one’s I surround myself with now a days. It ain’t bout’ quantity BUT quality. I was surrounded by artificial for awhile & been taken for granted for way too long which caused me to ache for change. The past month I’ve cut communication with those who took me for granted, who didn’t encourage me to grow and worse who didn’t point...

skeuos:
Keep yourself humble. Never forget who you were outside of Christ. Never forget where you started from. Never forget that you were once in the mud, wallowing around. You were broken, a sinner once in love with darkness. Until He drew you out. Irresistible grace.
Thankfulness.
Pride is a sneaky thing. It is like a creeping hand that has a tight grip upon nearly every heart, I’m sure....

When trust is broken, rebuilding trust isn’t how we make it better. Rebuilding shouldn’t be the answer. To repair trust through deed is creating the opportunity to repeat the past. It goes deeper than action or deed. To treat broken trust with action and deed is like treating a disease with medicine. It isn’t a cure and a cure should be our goal. We have to go to the root of the...

As much truth that statement holds, I still struggle in putting it to work. Last night, I cried. I haven’t done that in awhile so I thanked God for putting me in my place and it was a reminder that I am human. With the situation I’m in, with the trials that I’ve overcome and the struggles that are yet waiting for me has me in a place where I must be obedient and I must take that...
Emotions: Who's controlling who?
smilingatthefuture:
As Christians, we are not called to be someone’s project. We are not called to look to others to put our lives back together. Honestly, we are not called to be the emotional messes and parade ourselves around seeking attention.
When we have problems, we cannot always look to someone else to solve them for us, to comfort us, and to tell us it is all going to be okay. We...

Something to ask yourself:
nonelikejesus:
Before you post that FB status, before you write that post on tumblr, before you tell someone about what so and so did to you, before you tweet about how much you hate when people _____, ask yourself:
What is my motivation for doing this?
Is it for attention, or is it out of frustration? Am I looking for sympathy? Do I want people to think a certain way about me? Am I sowing...
