Do Unto Others

Recently, I was reminded of the Golden Rule, 'Do unto others what you will have them do unto you'. Just pause for a while and imagine what the world would be like if we all obeyed that rule. I think the world would be a much safer and happier place to be in if we all thought about what the consequences of our actions would be on others before actually carrying them out. Certainly our homes and by default the society would be a much better place, because the home is the bedrock of the society.

Many of the crimes we hear about today will not be there, armed robberies, assasination, emptying of government coffers, rape, internet fraud, murder, you name it. Most of us are busy thinking about how to gratify our immediate and usually selfish desires. But, it ought not to be like that because what goes around, comes around and many of us forget that.

Lets determine today, at least you, reading this post and myself the writer to be careful what we do to others. You may think our effort may not amount to anything but remember that little drops of water make a mighty ocean.

Deal With That Stressful Relationship!

Like I wrote in my previous post, sometimes we become saddled with relationships that stress us rather than enhance and bring out the best in us. This leaves us angry and bitter instead of leaving us with that pleasant feeling of being with someone you love. If you find yourself in that kind of a situation, what should you do about it?

I believe that all marital relationships founded on genuine love are worth fighting for. That is, fight for your own spouse not somebody's else's. On the other hand, I firmly believe that not all platonic relationships are worth the effort, especially the ones characterized by inces...

What To Do After You Have Failed Morally

Failing is not a nice feeling for anyone to experience, especially when u fail morally and when it is that you do sincerely love the Lord. You feel genuinely sad and disappointed in yourself. But what you do after that is really up to you. You can either choose to seek for forgiveness, forgive your own self and move on, depending on God to help you or you wallow in the pit of self pity and resign yourself to the fact that probably nothing good can come from you. The end result of the latter is that the problem takes hold of a person and leads one down a road of morale decadence. I strongly believe that we can go right back to the point of loving ourselves and God like that failure never even happened. God says that when he forgives our sins, he remembers it no more, and we should do same. We ought not to let the guilt remain with us, neither should we allow the taste of the pleasure of what we fell right back into remain with us. With God nothing is impossible and also nothing is imp...
