superman

I find it really interesting sometimes when you find yourself in a tough spot

and it is like some Christians around you just expect you to be some kind of superman, that they will give you advice, and expect that to solve your problems, and from that point on wards, you are not allowed to show any weakness, you are not allowed to struggle with your faith.....

mercy? it sometimes feel like a rare commodity......

things happen and our faith can be tested by Him through trials- [although God, Himself, does not tempt us with evil. Temptation comes from the enemy just like when he tempted Jesus Christ]. Anyway, it's normal to have your faith shaken at times. I've had my faith tested these couple of weeks, it seems. And I refuse to relent on my faith in Jesus Christ even though I may show weakness at times, because we all have weaknesses. No one is perfect by any means. That's why encouragement is important to build others up in the faith- like how Paul did with the Churches. I try not to let people's negative comments/opinions shake me because they're not who defines me. God does And He wants us to persevere and continually repent no matter how many times we may stumble in sin. He also taught us to be merciful as He is. So take heart : ) God is patient with us and we are all a work-in-progress by His grace and mercy.

Ya, its like sometimes believers r saying b warm and filled! But give u nothing to wear or eat! Sometimes too I think I expect too much from people, they have their own situations as well. Even thru the dry times I've found God to b faithful tho not always as I expected

yes, I see what you mean

you know, I want to be generous, because it fills me with peace and joy

and the truth is a lot of the times people have things going on in their own lives that we simply don't know about, and once we do, we would probably feel sorry for them

though sometimes for me, I think if we can not help someone, at least don't push their face into the dirt.
