We have a lot to understand with the context of diversity. Diversity not only with regards to race but also with regards to beliefs and value formation. It is a fact that even people of the same race differs in their religion, beliefs and upbringing. Still differences between people is not accountable to nor limited to this context. We are to note that attitudes and temperament which sometimes confuses us where to place this category in the nature of psychology and diversity plays a big part in our day-to-day social interaction. People with diabetes for example have a lot to explain but couldn't explain the changes in their moods. Illnesses affects the disposition on a lot of people and this we have to consider in building relationships. We don't limit our understanding to what we see. We expand our horizons over to what illnesses and situations affect the behavior.

Losing faith
Sometimes when people are so bombarded with problems and heartaches it makes them feel numb and life become undirected and without meaning. It would be quite a pain to see that we are still alive and have to get up each day to live on with the pain. Somehow life is not fair but God is there to see and feel our heartache. Maybe we ought to cry a barrel of tears before God will hear our emergency calls again. Our body may become weary and so our souls drop dead with frustrations too. Why can't God just end misery and let us be happy, just simply happy? I know that in times like this we ought to pray harder and just do what is needed to fulfill our responsibilities for the day. Each day will bring a new hope and we are not to waste it. We give value to life, we give value to ourselves. Do not despair because help is coming when we least expect it. Just live a just man's life.

What is the purpose of dating?
Dating or courtships should be directed towards developing a deeper friendship with one special person to determine whether he or she is compatible to an eventual life long marriage together. Dating is not for sexual activity before marriage because it is the discernment period to discover compatibility between two persons who may one day be one's wife or husband for life. Look for one with Christian virtue and true morals. Good character is far more essential for a happy marriage than a beautiful face. You must discover one who understands with a sense of responsibility and commitment the duties of the married state.

Money can't buy you happiness
Mother Teresa quote:
"Keep the joy of loving God in your heart and share this joy with all you meet especially your family. Be holy – let us pray."
There is only one thing that some men did not realize yet - money can't buy you real happiness. There are lots of people who strive to get rich but when they have accumulated their millions, distributed it to the poor. Have you ever wondered why? It is because real love and real happiness lies in selfless giving. It is but one look to the eyes and the face of a person whom you gave help and will look at you with much gratitude and pray for your soul. That is happiness. The willingness to help others asking nothing in return.

vanity, world, values
Do not care much for riches or wealth for it will make you forget God and sometimes take you away from him. Just strive to be sufficient and if in the course of life you were given the blessings of much wealth do not be changed by what you have. When you get to have a close relationship with God and he begins to reveal himself to you, I guarantee that you will have no taste for riches at all. No riches on earth can ever buy the feelings you get when God reveals himself to you even for a short moment in your quiet time. It is inexplicable. Try to seek his face so you get to experience the awesome presence of God. Love God above everything else. God gives God takes. We have no power to anything that he created on earth. We can only have the benefit of receiving his mercy if we live a good just man's life. Only a good just man pleases the eyes of God.

selfless love
It is vanity to follow the desires of the flesh and to desire that which is not important to spirituality. Selfless love is giving without asking for nothing in return. In the process you could get hurt, but take your stand and act selflessly. Because it is vanity to love what is passing away with all speed and forget what everlasting joy is.

Remember only by the light of faith and by meditation on the word of God can one always and everywhere recognize God. Seek his will in every event and make correct judgment about the true meaning and value of temporal things. This can be difficult for someone who lacks the faith but I say be selfless God will always send Divine Providence.
Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find. For God exist and is with us, is in us. We only have to approach his throne humbly and kneel or even cry like a baby. You will see changes. Adopt the change and try to do good.

imitations of Christ
"He who follows me does not walk in darkness" (Jn8:12). These are the words of Jesus Christ telling us to imitate his life and his manners. How exactly to do this? Read my post everyday and study to meditate on the life of Jesus. In order for us to fully understand the words of Christ we must begin to conform our actions and our thoughts base on the life and works of Jesus while he was then walking here on earth. Meditate and let the teachings seep in to your heart. Imitate Christ and live a good man's life.
