The Woman who inspires me the most

There she stood, all alone on the streets of Calcutta’s slums
No shelter, no company
No helper, no money
No employment, no promise
No guarantee, no security

Only one word from the master
Serve the poorest of the poor
I trust you my master
I trust in your call
Your inspiration will aint let me down

With 5 rupees out of 10 given to the poor
She head on into the slums
A priest beg her for some food
She had none, only 5 rupees
Here you are, take it
She had nothing absolutely nothing

She slept peacefully among the cows
Here was the same priest wakes her up in the middle of the night
A gentleman with white rope appears to me
He was full in glory
I stand amazed but I had no idea who and where he’s from
He handed this envelope asking me to pass it to you
And so am I

500 rupees and a phrase saying “trust me” was in that white envelope
She jumped for joy
She gathers the kids of the slumps
Teaching them alphabet
She visited their homes
Bringing them food and medical help she could
She sits on the road at night begging for rupees
For the poorest of the poor

A single trust of her call
And towards her master
She received a Nobel peace Price
She become well known of her charity work
And some say, she lives like the messiah

The one who calls you is faithful!!

I trust you my master
I trust in your call
Your inspiration will aint let me down

"cry"

To everyone who's lost someone they love
Long before it was their time
You feel like the days you had were not enough
when you said goodbye

And to all of the people with burdens and pains
Keeping you back from your life
You believe that there's nothing and there is no one
Who can make it right

There is hope for the helpless
Rest for the weary
Love for the broken heart
There is grace and forgiveness
Mercy and healing
He'll meet you wherever you are
Cry out to Jesus, Cry out to Jesus

For the marriage that's struggling just to hang on
They lost all of their faith in love
They've done all they can to make it right again
Still it's not enough

For the ones who can't break the addictions and chains
You try to give up but you come back again
Just remember that you're not alone in your shame
And your suffering

When your lonely
And it feels like the whole world is falling on you
You just reach out, you just cry out to Jesus
Cry to Jesus

To the widow who suffers from being alone
Wiping the tears from her eyes
For the children around the world without a home
Cry to jesus

A prayer for u my dear

Father: I thank you that you brought her into my life. I ask you to forgive me for
my lack of patience and for being self-centered
Always thinking about myself and what I want.
Wanting to be comfortable all the time,
instead of trying to be a help to other people.
Most of all, I pray that you'll help me to
always be gentle, good, and understanding
with this woman who has chosen to live her life with me.

She loves me with all her heart.
With a love that's innocent, trusting and unselfish.
You've had your hand on our lives since the day we met.
We've both been thru a lot. But I do want to thank you for your faithfulness.

There was something wonderful about that moment,
almost like the world had conspired to place
an emphasis on our meeting.
When we came together that day, I realized
immediately how wonderful she was.
There was this bright, burning,
a knowing in her eyes that cut right through her shyness.
It was weird how we trusted each other right from the start.
Whatever kind of City we were at
caused an electric shock when our hands touched.

We both smiled and it all got started in a relaxed and
easy going way. You brought us along, you've brought
us through everything that could have wrecked
us along the way.
Everytime I look at her, I see the little girl
who believes the world is a good place.
That everybody has got good in them
darkness is just a place that light hasn't got to yet.

Father: help me to trust you like she trusts you.
I want to have that kind of faith.
No matter how bad things look she believes,
if she does her best and tries hard enough,
everything will turn out alright.

Forgive me for being in such a hurry all the time.
Being worried, but there really isn't any reason for it.
I think that sometimes I look for the worst in people,
trying to find something wrong with them
so I can feel better about me.
She's always looking for the good in people.
The funny thing is she always seems to find it.
Help me to be as gentle and thoughtful and kind as she is.
To not always be making everything about me,
to not always trying to get everything the way
I want it all the time.
She's the one that’s taught me about kindness
She's the one that’s taught me about patience.
When I do remember to give a little bit of it back to her,
when I remember to be thoughtful,
She's so grateful that tears come to her eyes.
I hated when someone touches my face
But when she touches my face with her hand
I've never seen love like that.
I'll never understand why she loves me the way she does. It’s insane.

Of all the gifts you've given me that's the greatest gift of all. I am serious Lord.
Help me to comfort her when she's troubled
to somehow make her realize how beautiful
and truly wonderful she really is.
Time after time I wasn’t good enough for her. I failed to help her in so many ways. Help me lord.
I don't deserve her.
Lord how I love her.
Help me to be good to her.
Help me to as gentle as I could to her.

Thank you.

Amen.

Advertising

Advertising had bought us


I walk into a store the other day. I stand in front of hundreds bottles of shampoo. I choose one brand, paid for it and leave.
• Why did I just pick that specific kind of shampoo?
• Is it truly better than any other shampoo? Probably not.
• If products are all the same, what makes a consumer pick one brand instead of another?

Although we might not like to admit it, commercials on TV and advertisements in magazines probably influence us more than we think they do.

Advertisements uses lots of method to get us buy their products. But have you ever noticed that one of their successful methods is to make us feel dissatisfied with ourselves and our imperfect lives. Damn!!!

Advertisement shows us who we aren’t and what we don’t have. Come on why do we have to live this way? They lie about us, they steal us.
Advertisements make us afraid that people won’t like us if we don’t use the advertised products. Ive been cheated.

“Why don’t I have dates”? A young woman sadly asks in a commercial. ‘Here’ replies her roommate, try Zoom sliming product!!! You are fat; you got to be slim to have dates. Crap crap!!! Who are you to tell that? Of course she tries it, and immediately the whole football team falls in love with her. That a stupid commercial!!!!!!! We might say. But we still buy them out of fear of being unwanted and unpopular.

Take a few min and think about all the products and outfits you have. Are they the ones you really liked? Or you bought them to be popular.

If fear is the negative motive for buying a product, than wanting a good self-image is the positive reason for choosing it. Each of us has a mental picture of the kind of person we would like to be. For example,
• A modern young woman might like to think that she looks like a beautiful movie star.
• A middle age man might want to see himself as a strong, attractive athlete

ADVERTISERS KNOW THIS.



They write specific ads to make a certain groups of people choose their products.
Certain words attract our attention. Words like “new” “sexy” “improved”. These words draw us to get that product.

Do you know that human biggest fear is being unwanted and being look down at? Psychologists know this. Its human nature. Come on you need God. Because God doesn’t care on how you look or how you are. He loves you just the way you are.

I am beautiful in his eyes. I don’t care what people have to say about me. I live on what he has said about me.

Many people believe that advertisements do not affect them. They feel that they have freedom of choice and they like to think they make wise choices. Unfortunately you are wrong. Don’t believe it? Just look at the brands in your shelf and wardrobe.

I write this just to tell you guys that I had enough being bought by the world. I am sick and tired about it. I need God!!!..

Pray pray pray!!!!!

When We Pray, God Works!

Two things about prayer are truly amazing: (1) God listens when we pray. "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." (See Mk 11:24). You may not have much clout anywhere else, but when you pray God listens. (2) We seldom pray. We've the greatest privilege imaginable - access to the control center of the Universe -- yet we rarely use it. And our lack of prayer surprises God.

Through the prophet Ezekiel He lamented: "I sought for a man among them who would...stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one" (Eze 22:30 NKJV). Upon learning that Sodom and Gomorrah were going to be destroyed, Abraham didn't rush to warn the cities. No, he chose to "[remain] standing before the Lord" (Ge 18:22 NIV). When God said the golden calf warranted a nationwide death penalty for Israel, Moses interceded and saved them. One translation of Exodus 32:11 says, "Moses soothed the face of his God." An obscure priest by the name of Phinehas begged God not to send the plague, and it was checked. (See Ps 106:30 NIV).

You say "Why place such a premium on prayer?" Simple. Because when we work, we work. But when we pray, God works! Scripture attaches breathtaking power to prayer. "When two of you get together on anything...and make a prayer of it, my Father in heaven goes into action" (Mt 18:19 TM). Does any other activity promise such results? Did God call us to preach without ceasing? Or have committee meetings without ceasing? No, but He did call us to "pray without ceasing."

Dont let others "brand" you.

To whom it may concern: I know that I am just one person. But, I am one person who has had enough of being owned and watching the people I love be brainwashed by propogandic ideals that destroy them. I’m done. I may not be able to change the world, but I can change me. You don’t own me; God does."

To The Media: I don't want to find my worth in the way I look. I don't want to place my security in the way people view me. I don't want to hear that I have to be "sexy and hot" in order to be acceptable. I am sick of seeing young kids put their security in how sexy the look and act. This generation and future generations need people like you to step up and wake up, and make a positive influence


" Dear MTV - Do you have any idea what you are doing to teens? You are showing women who are skinny to be real and you are showing girls as an object to be won. You show sex outside of marriage. You show sex without consequences like a girl won't become pregnant or anything. WELL STOP!

Dear TV Executive: I believe that your TV shows that you are producing are horrible. You try to make everything sound good (talk to your kids about drugs) but the next show that comes on is a video clip of someone smoking pot.

I feel betrayed because you have made a certain image that I (my generation) feel like we have to live up to. It is confusing. We don’t know who we are anymore. You think you can brand me?


You are making our world a scary place for kids to live.
Please change for the next generation.

I’ve come to realize how you’ve changed my life in a way I thought was right and cool. Well i find it stupid. The cloths i wear does not shows how cool or hot i am but i show them how cool and hot those cloths can be when they are on me. Don’t use the power you have to throw false ideas to this generation. We deserve better.
Stop trying to brand me!

My heart breaks at how good you are at what you do!

You will pay for this.
