Thought For Today - 4/30/09

I love walking and talking with God. I love walking in peace - knowing the joy of doing His work! The first thing I do when I get up in the morning (sometimes do it before I get out of the bed) is saying hello to God. I also ask Him to direct me on my journey each day.

How are you starting you day? Lets star the month of May this way!

Much love,
Joseph

From my years of being in relationship with the opposite sex, I believe the key is this - romance, sexuality and attraction are great. But if they are not built upon a lasting friendship and respect for person's character, it probably will not work.

From my NOW understanding and knowledge, a real and lasting relationship must be built upon friendship FIRST! You are going to spend a lot of time with that person. As for picking a mate, I have to know that I can grow old with her. I must like spending time with her. She will make me laugh. She will also share deep spiritual values and other commonalities with me as well, as she would with any other friend.

For me, one true measure of a friend, a person with whom I like to spend time, having no regard to how I'm spending it. For example, hanging out is fulfilling in and of itself.

I have also found out being lovers with someone I would not to be friends with is no good thing at all!

Much love,
Joseph

Everything God does is good. His plan is always good. We must have confidence in His goodness.

When you being to follow God, you can become the man or woman you'd like to be, because God will bring out the best in you! He will put you in the place where you will ultimately be a blessing to His people, even while you yourself are being blessed.

You will hear from God and be able to do things you never dreamed you could do. You will be happy and full of joy because you will be doing what you were born again to do. You will sail through life and go through each day with the joy of the Lord as your strength.

God is constantly calling you and me to His Master Plan for our lives. So, get with His Good Plan!

Much love,
Joseph
