True Friends

Have you ever wondered what the real essence of the saying "A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed" is? People talk about the true value of friendship actually without knowing what it stands for. True friendship is the one, in which the individuals do not have to maintain formalities with each other. Sharing true friendship is the situation, when the person you are talking about is counted as one among your family members, when the relation you share with him/her reaches a stage that even if you don't correspond for sometime, your friendship remains unscathed. Best friends need not meet up often to make sure that the friendship remains constant.

The trust between best friends is such that if one friend falls in trouble, the other will not think twice to help. If the bond between two friends is strong, true friends can endure even long distances. For them, geographical separation is just a part of life. It would not affect their friendship. They make it a point to stay in touch, even in the verge of being exhausted due to the drudgery of everyday life. True friendship never fades away. In fact, it grows better with time. True friendship thrives on trust, inspiration and comfort. Best friends come to know, when the other person is in trouble, merely by listening to their "Hello" over the phone. The can even understand each other's silence.

True friends do not desert each other when one is facing trouble. They would face it together and support each other, even if it is against the interests of the other person. Best friends do not analyze each other; they do not have to do so. They accept each other with their positive and negative qualities. Nothing is hidden between true friends. They know each other's strengths as well as weaknesses. One would not overpower the other. They would respect each other's individuality. In fact, they would understand the similarities and respect the differences. Best friends do not stand any outsider commenting or criticizing their friendship and they can put up a very firm resistance, if anyone does so.

True friends are not opportunists. They do not help, because they have something to gain out of it. True friendship is marked by selflessness. Best friends support even each other, even if the whole world opposes them. It is not easy getting true friends for the lifetime. If you have even one true friend, consider yourself blessed. Remember, all best friends are friends, but not all friends can be best friends. In this world of cynics and back stabbers, there are still some people who are worth being friends with. They have to be recognized and respected for being best friends, for the lifetime.

Memories being apart

Friendships with good memories will not be lost even with distances apart.

Good times together will not be forgotten, when you keep the rough times together from entering your heart
So the best way to have good recollections is to create them when the opportunities are made available.

Choice of Friends

When you choose your friends, do not be short-changed by choosing personality over character.
I can short-change my friends by a wrong attitude or thoughts.
Ones that try to maintian friendships through rough times, and when you look to your friends to see how close they are, I will have to see if I have moved too far to be close to help them if they need help in tough periods of life.
Occasionally when ones long or desire to be nearer, what will help them to draw nearer will be by you to reach out first then they will be alongside you.

Begining thoughts on Love

God is Love, and is very different from human love. God's love is unequivocal, and it's not based on feelings or emotions. He does not love us because we're lovable or because we make Him feel good; He loves us because He is love. He created us to have aloving relationship with Him, and He sacrificed His own Son (who also willingly died for us) to restore that relationship.

Original Love is the first love felt by every soul upon creation. It is the pure love of God instilled in each soul. Before anything else each soul began with Original Love.

Authentic Love is the juice, the driver, the force and the energy; that is what we come with and what we leave with. In the middle of the coming and going, it is hard to detect or believe in love. The writings are the reminder to my soul that there is love, all the time and everywhere.

 

New Years thought

Each year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a life moving on, with all the wisdom and experiences can instill in us.

To let go of the past, does not mean you will have not learned from it, it just means it will help guide the ways ahead.

Good memories help us get through times when we think our lives have had no meaning; they especially assist when you have an individual or others to recall great experiences with.

Letting go of the past is tough at times, it is like times when your wife tells you to throw away an old shirt you still feel comfortable in, even though it may have a few small holes or tares, but it is relaxing and good to excercise in.

But times that shirt is not just comfortable it still has meaning and remembrances, if it is an old baseball or basketball team shirt, or one that was given to you from good friends.

It usually not what it looks like is why you hold on to it, but the feelings and times it brings back, the good times that will never be lost or forgotten.

So letting go of old shirts that are stained and torn is hard, but it is just like, old uncomfortable feelings that needs to be released. The time finally comes letting go of an old shirt that you may not even wear or need, but it takes the space from a new shirt that will feel and look better each day ahead.

Creating new inspiring times, that just after become good recollections for the road ahead. It will be like your wife buying you a brand new shirt.

When you start hearing someone telling you “that shirt has a hole” and you keep it, new and good times are being or have been created to dwell upon.

Internal feeling

True Love   

Between God and individuals

Is the love co-equal?

Developing and maturing deep roots in a heart

Flourished enriched bonds

Sensitivities of concern

Lost 1^st love

Restoring 1^st love

Promise to love, is an action of giving

Accepting ones

Put others first

Serving God by serving others

The only way to change your way is through the heart

Uniting through love

Division by pride, greed, lack of charity and forgiveness

Pure love, original without effort or thought

Routine-love to receive in return, practiced or planned

Comforting with compassion, emotion, real love.

Unlocking doors

Unlocking doors

 In most minds when ones think of rope, they think of being tied or held down without freedom to move.

But chains can be thought of something that can hold ones together for help and safety for protection.

 God created a higher plateau or place that He could help protect His creations.

God used His Spirit to link or hold together His bond with His creation of Mankind.

By linking Heaven with all His creations, God desires to have a peaceful dwelling place with man to enjoy all the wonderful beauty of life.

 When God created Adam and Eve, He gave them the ability to enjoy Paradise being capable to move around in the Garden as they pleased.

 God’s idea of a connection with Man to be by his side in peace, but do to the disobedience of the direct commandment Adam was given, the direct link to Heaven Adam had was broke.

 A habit can be another form of being bound. The chains of a habit are generally too small to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.

Being restrained after forgiveness or been forgiven, sometimes creates a mental bondage without the ability to live in peace.

 Holding yourself back or others and to let go is sometimes harder than being released or delivered.

Finding the keys to unlock knowing what keys to use is another process.

 There are different locks that are used by ones. There is a lock that locks from inside and one that is a double-sided key lock. There is a slide lock and chain locks that are used. There are even locks that can only be opened from the inside.

 Christ has the only master key and He came into the world to open up doors for ones to come and serve him.

 Man will sometimes bring forth yoke and servitude upon ones, but by Christ coming he gave man an option to be free to serve Him without being held back from the past.

Christ did not tell the Gentiles, come unto me or else.

He said some unto me, meaning my arms are open to help lead you to my Father.

He gave the option unto man.

 Chains are for support, or for security,

If chains are not put on right with precious delicate oversight   items can scratch or damage it and germinate. Some damaged items can be repaired and buffed out.

If a chain has a link that might be a little weak if you beat on it to bind it closer it just could break it,

 Chains are sometimes upon us due to an emotion of fear, guilt, and displeasure of our own mind set.

An act of guilt or anger can bring upon a feeling of pressure or mental stress, and discomfort.

 Forgiveness is the mental, emotional, and spiritual process of letting go of resentment, indignation, or anger against another person for a perceived offense, difference, or mistake. It can also mean ceasing to demand punishment or restitution for transgressions, real or imagined. Although forgiveness may be granted without any expectation of compensation, and without any response on the part of the offender, it is sometimes necessary for the offender to offer some form of acknowledgment, apology, or restitution; this can often open the way for the person who perceives to be wronged to feel empowered to forgive.

Opening your heart is like opening a lock, one type of key is the only way for it to work.

A combination lock can only be opened by the one with the original code.

If the figures or original key form due not correspond match up precisely it will not open.

Feelings of the heart and mind are expressed through actions.

By giving or holding back is how our feelings are understood or brought forth.

 God created feelings of expression, but originally He showed feelings of love and concern for mankind.

How nay times did God express forgiveness upon Israel or has expressed upon my life?

The act of forgiveness can only be brought forth through love and charity.

 Through the Children of Israel to the woman caught is adultery,

up to being hung on the cross, the expression of forgiveness has been shown to mankind.
