He died for us, he became human to save us. That is how much he loved us.

Would you die for someone to show your love for them? Well, if you would ask me, definitely not! But God, because if his love for us, he let himself to be crucified for our sins. So in return, we should give our loyalty to Him and Him only. Not to anyone else, only to our God.

Whenever we do something, making decisions, always give our loyalty to God. Whenever we fear something, give your loyalty to God. When you do that, you will be saved and you will be loved.

"Now when Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, "I am God Almighty; Walk before Me, and be blameless." - Genesis 17:1

Faith is more than positive thinking. Positive thinking will NOT produce faith. Faith is trust in God, and the only way to develop faith is to learn to know God. Since He is trustworthy, as we learn to know Him, we spontaneously learn to trust Him. Faith is trusting God when things don't turn out the way we expect. Hebrews 11:6 is the classic text: "Without faith it is impossible to please God: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is (that God exists), and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him." God IS a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. Not those who seek merely His blessings, but those who seek Him, are the ones who find their reward. For He is the reward. Yet, Luke 18:8 says, "When the Son of man comes, will He find faith on earth?" You can't work on your righteousness - nor can you work on your faith. Both are gifts. Both are fruit. Both come as a result of knowing Jesus. And knowing Jesus comes as a result of spending time in communion and fellowship and relationship with Him. If you will come to Him, He will give you the genuine faith that you need. The first byproduct of seeking Jesus is genuine faith. Righteousness, or right-

doing, is the second. No man can create faith. The Spirit of God operating upon and enlightening the human, creates faith. Only two things are necessary in order to trust someone. First you must find someone who is trustworthy. Second, you must get to know him. But when it comes to the Christian life, only one thing is required; that you come to Jesus, and that you keep coming to Him day by day. If you will keep coming to Him, God has made Himself responsible for taking care of everything else that needs to happen in your life. "If the eye is kept fixed on Christ, the work of the Spirit does not cease until the soul is conformed to God's image." E.G.White, The Desire of Ages, pg 302. The only deliberate effort in the Christian life is to seek God. Spontaneous effort toward other things will result. God is bringing us to a decision: Do we trust God or do we trust in "man"? Isn't it reasonable to trust good Christian experts, like doctors and counselors? Doesn't God work through them? When Jesus was on earth and someone came to Him for healing, He never once said, "Go see Luke, I heal through doctors." (Luke was a physician) Instead, Jesus healed the person directly, either through His Word, which we have today in the form of the Bible, or He healed them through natural methods, such as clay or water.

Do right. Do your best. Treat others as you want to be treated. Do right. Do your best. Treat others as you want to be treated. You must accept that you might fail; then, if you do your best and still don't win, at least you can be satisfied that you've tried. If you don't accept failure as a possibility, you don't set high goals, you don't branch out, you don't try - you don't take the risk. As simple as it sounds, we all must try to be the best person we can; by making the best choices, by making the most of the talents weve been given. Your ultimate goal in life is to become your best self. Your immediate goal is to get on the path that will lead you there.

We have to do the best we can. This is our sacred human responsibility Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.

The foremost duty of a student if to acquire knowledge and for this he must gladly submit to the rules of discipline and the methods of teaching which his teachers may adopt. As a bee gathers honey as a student should assiduously gather knowledge and wisdom from every source. He must not waste his time in idle pursuits but must utilize every minute to self advancement and progress. He must work for his aim. A student should form regular habits and take great care of his character. He must obey his parents and teachers and follow other directions as they are his best well wishers. A wayward child who does not care for the advice of his elders suffers in the end. He makes no progress. He has to repent in the later life but it is useless to cry over spilt milk. Health is wealth. It is also very important. Every student should take care of health. His aim should be have to a sound mind in a sound body. He must take regular exercise and develop his body. Without health and strength of body he will not be able to go on with his studies. Games play an important part in the development of character. And every young man should take park in the games and activities of the school. Let it be remembered that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. And all play and no work makes Jack a mere toy. Students should selet their companions with great care. They should not associate at all with men of lower character and those who do not enjoy good reputation. Their companions and friends should be chosen from among good boys. A tree is known by its fruit and a man is known by his company. This thing must be kept in mind. It is also duty of a student to pay full attention to his studies in his class. They should have only one thing in mind and that is studies. They should not sit inattentive in the class nor copy or use unfair means in the examination nor depend upon others. They must develop habits of self reliance. They must also be truthful self respecting cheerful and frank. They should not be quarrelsome. They should be symbol of love. Cleanliness is a part of religion. No one can be healthy without cleanliness. Therefore all the students should be clean. They should be neat in everything. Their dress should not be slovenly or carelessly worn. These are the minute points on character. Students should not neglect their daily prayer. While they seek to strengthen their bodies and minds. They must also strengthen their souls. A sound body has a sound mind. It is the duty of a student to keep his body sound by cleanliness.

The purpose of God is to make you stronger! The article below reveals how you can truly live in Gods strength. God wants you to have a deep assurance that His plan is to strengthen you, no matter what the circumstances. In these days it is a great secret to know the strength of the Lord! This strength comes to those who desire to follow after Christ. This makes it so important to walk in faith, and forsake the things that would block God's presence in your life. By confessing and turning away from any sin, the door opens for God's cleansing grace to wash

through you, restoring the strength of God in your life.

Strength from the Lord "How blessed is the man whose strength is in Thee." Psalm 84:5 NASB

Strength, power for living, is needed by everyone in these challenging times. And God wants to give you His strength, in an abundant supply. But God's ways are higher than man's ways, and God's thoughts are higher than man's thoughts (Isaiah 55:8,9). This is undoubtedly true, when it comes to the strength of the Lord. God's ways of strengthening you are different than man's ways.

God's purpose is to make you strong. In fact, "He is the One who gives power and strength to his people." (Psalm 68:35). God's purpose is to strengthen you, and to give you power in His ways. You are even commanded, "Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might!" (Ephesians 6:10). God wants you to be strong. Strong in Him, strong in love, strong because you are filled with the Holy Spirit. You must have an unshakable confidence, that God's purpose is to make you strong in Him. When you face situations which you don't understand, or when you encounter obstacles, difficulties, or painful situations which you were not expecting, it is easy for you to lose sight of God's purposes.

God's thoughts are not like our thoughts. Our thoughts can become thoughts of fear or discouragement, anger or frustration. Thoughts like: "I'll never be able to get through this," or, "God must be punishing me for something I've done," or, "The Lord is against me," can become a part of our thinking.

But God's thought is to make you strong! His will is to make you stronger, not to tear you down. You must become strong in the ways of the Lord. "The way of the Lord is strength to the upright." (Prov.10:29 KJV) God says to you, "Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you. Surely I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." (Isaiah 41:10, NASB). The strength of the Lord is more than enough, to meet every obstacle.

God's Word says, "Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus." (2 Tim.2: 1 KJV). The Word says, "In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us." (Rom.8:37 KJV). The Word says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Phil.4:13), and, "The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalm 27:1 KJV). God's promise is, "In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength." (Isaiah 30:15 KJV). Yes, God wants you to be strong!

David was a man who knew the ways of the Lord. He was a man after God's own heart. Yet he encountered a situation that from all appearances looked like a complete tragedy. He and his men were away from their camp, when the Amalekites came and raided the camp. They took all of the women and children, all of their belongings, and burned the town with fire (I Sam.30: 1,2). When David and his men came back to their camp and found it completely destroyed, "then David and the people who were with him lifted their voices and wept until there was no strength in them to weep." (I Sam.30:4 NASB). To make things worse, David became distressed because the people spoke of stoning him. They were embittered because of the loss of their loved ones in this terrible tragedy (I Sam.30:6).

David could easily have turned his back on the Lord in such a perilous situation. He could easily have thought that God was against him, or that God had forgotten him. He could have become bitter, like some of the people did. But David knew the Lord. He knew that the Lord was for him, not against him. He knew that God's purpose was to strengthen him in this situation. So, "David strengthened himself in the Lord his God." (I Sam.30:6 NASB). He received strength from the Lord; power to overcome and to conquer.

David inquired of the Lord, and received word from the Lord to pursue the Amalekites. He found them, eating and drinking and partying, spread over the countryside. They were celebrating over their plunder, unaware of any danger. David and his men completely surprised them, routing and defeating the Amalekites. All of the women and children were restored to David and his men. They recovered all that had been taken from them; they also recovered all of the plunder of the Amalekites. God had the final word.

Not long after this incident, David was made king over Judah. The Amalekite raid was one of the greatest testings David faced, and it happened shortly before he was made king. David could have walked away from God's plan, in the time of testing. But he knew God's purposes, and that his God wanted him to be strong. Do we realize that it is true, for us as well?

David strengthened himself in the Lord his God (I Sam.30:6). How can we receive more of the strengthening power of the Lord into our hearts and lives? Here are some of the ways you can receive strength from the Lord:

1. Those who WAIT ON THE LORD shall renew their strength (Isaiah 40:31). You need to spend time waiting before the Lord, thanking Him and honoring Him, and placing your situations in His hands; you need to spend significant, quality time with Him. The Spirit will surely come like the wind, to strengthen you.

2. CALL ON THE LORD, in earnest and believing prayer: "In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul." (Psalm 138:3).

3. BELIEVE that it is undoubtedly God's purpose to impart strength to you, and to make you strong, no matter what the situation may look like. God's promises are clear, that the will of the Lord is to strengthen you (Psalm 105:4, Isaiah 30:15, Psalm 68:35, Psalm 27:14 / Eph.6: 10,11, 2 Tim.2:1, Isaiah 41: 10, Isaiah 40:31).

Paul learned to delight in situations that revealed his own weakness, knowing that those situations were the exact time when God would step in to reveal His strength! God told Paul, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Paul then said, "Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me" (2 Corinthians 12:9).

4. You must TURN FROM SIN, to be strengthened by the Lord. Sin is what can make you weak. The Psalmist said, "My strength has failed because of my iniquity." (Psalm 31:10 NASB). You must turn from sin, and receive cleansing and forgiveness through the blood of Christ. God will help you to make a fresh start, and to leave the past behind.

5.DRAW NEAR TO THE LORD. It is the Lord Himself who is your strength. Drawing near to Him insures that His strength will dwell in you, because His presence will be near you and in you. You are told to "seek the Lord, and His strength." (Psalm 105:4).

6.BE OF GOOD COURAGE. The Word of God says, "Wait on the Lord. Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart." (Ps.27:14 KJV). If you have courage, God is able to strengthen you. You must have courage and faith when you draw near to God, knowing that it is His will to strengthen you, and to clear a path for you. David was of good courage, when he went out to face Goliath. We must also be of good courage, when we face our battles.

7.The WORD OF GOD strengthens your faith, and builds you up. The Word of God can be relied upon, with confidence. "Strengthen me, according to Thy Word." (Psalm 119:28 NASB). Meditate on, and rely upon, the Word of God. Saturate your mind and your spirit with the Word, and the promises of the Word, for your strengthening. As you do these things, God will impart His strength to you. You will be strengthened to walk in victory, and walk in faith. God will show himself strong on your behalf.

Being strong as a follower of Christ does not mean pushing other people around, dominating other people, or being otherwise obnoxious. Strength from the Lord makes you strong enough to love people, strong enough to be gentle with difficult people, strong enough to do the right things at the right times, with the peace of God in your heart. It is awesome, to have the strength of His love! We must remember that the strength of love is the opposite of the strength of selfishness.

At times God's people can begin to drift, and begin to coast along on their own strength. We can gradually begin to do things in our own strength, and not even realize that we are no longer walking in the strength of the Lord. That is why we must seek fresh strength from the Lord day by day and week by week. We must seek fresh strength in prayer, the Word, and waiting upon the Lord. The Israelites in the wilderness so often missed God's purposes. God wanted to make them strong - strong in faith, strong in trust, strong in the Lord. But when food and water began to run low, they didn't feel strong; they felt weaker. They missed God's purpose - He wanted to strengthen them, and provide for all of their needs. But they often doubted, or grumbled and complained. God's ways were higher than their ways.

But throughout the wanderings of the Israelites, Caleb had learned of God's strength. After forty years in the wilderness, he could say, "I am still as strong today as the day Moses sent me out. I am just as vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then. Now give me this hill country that the Lord promised me that day." (Joshua 14:11,12 NIV). Caleb knew that God's purpose was to make him strong. The blessing of the Lord was powerfully manifested in his life. He received the full measure of the blessing of the Lord.

As we are strengthened by the Lord, part of God's purpose is that we help others to find that same strength. We should be like Jonathan: during a difficult time he went to David, and helped him to find strength in God (I Sam.23: 16). When brothers or sisters in Christ, or others we love are passing through a difficult time, they need someone who can help them find strength from the Lord. We are to pray for one another, and bear one another's burdens. Then God will use us as His instruments, to bring His strength to those who need it.

Just by understanding Gods love for you, and how He has felt about you from the beginning, and what He has wanted for you, begins to increase your faith and strength. That is what it was designed to do a

ou and that He is not out to condemn you but to strengthen your life to become a world changer, your life begins to take new shape. Strength from God comes to

your life. How do you open the door to this strength so that it continues to come and so that you feel and see it begin to change you? What is the first secret to tapping into the power and then plan of God for this significant life? Its putting these truths in your mouth! That is a God secret that He wants you to know! Its powerful. Its life-changing. God spoke through Isaiah to help us take hold of this powerful truth saying, And this is my covenant with them, says the Lord. My Spirit will not leave them, and neither will these words I have given you. They will be on your lips and on the lips of your children and your childrens children forever. I, the Lord, have spoken! Isaiah 59:21 (NLT) Begin now by getting in front of a mirror and saying, Thank you Lord. You have made me wonderfully complex! Your workmanship concerning me is marvelous and I now know it. You watched me as I was being formed and prepared my days and your plan for my life before I ever lived one day. Its time I started living by your strength and power instead of mine own. I thank you for helping me to grow in your strength and power every day. I thank you that your thoughts about me are kind and empowering and your plan and desire for me even more precious. I thank you that you are with me now and forever. These are your words and I have and will continue to put them in my mouth and on my lips until they instinctively flow from my heart. Thank you for Jesus and making all this available to me through Your love and sacrifice for me. I am strengthened in you today. In Jesus name Amen! These are Gods Words about you. Write Gods covenant promises down as you see them in the Bible. Put them in your mouth and speak them each day until they begin to sink in. You are honoring God in doing so. You are exercising your faith! You will begin to experience a new level of the power of God and His strength in your life. It will thrill your heart! Psalms 19:14 (NLT) May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. In His Love, Everyone has troubles. We face problems, affliction, suffering, and hardship. We need strength, endurance, and patience.
