"The Wolves Within"

An old Grandfather, whose grandson came to him with anger at a schoolmate who had done him an injustice, said, "Let me tell you a story. I too, at times, have felt a great hate for those that have taken so much, with no sorrow for what they do. But hate wears you down, and does not hurt your enemy. It is like taking poison and wishing your enemy would die. I have struggled with these feelings many times."

He continued, "It is as if there are two wolves inside me; one is good and does no harm. He lives in harmony with all around him and does not take offense when no offense was intended. He will only fight when it is right to do so, and in the right way."

"But the other wolf, ah! He is full of anger. The littlest thing will set him into a fit of temper. He fights everyone, all the time, for no reason. He cannot think because his anger and hate are so great. It is hard to live with these two wolves inside me, for both of them try to dominate my spirit."

The boy looked intently into his Grandfather's eye and asked, "Which one wins, Grandfather?"

The Grandfather solemnly said, "The one I feed."


PS: 
When you feed 'anything' in your life, it grows, it blossoms, it develops, it multiplies. That's scary right? Especially looking at all the 'junk' we take in these days in the name of INFORMATION and COMMUNICATION. This is the very reason why you need to feed your FAITH by studying the Word of God, and STARVE your DOUBTS by refusing to dwell on BAD NEWS. What you need is the GOSPEL, the gospel is GOOD NEWS. It would build you up to withstand EVERY LIE of the devil against your life and FUTURE.


Its NEVER to late to make a TURN no matter how far you have traveled along the road of bad doctrine, negative associations, and falsehood. Anywhere on that road you are, you are can STILL turn back and be delivered and saved.


Make a DECISION today to come out of bad company who would not let you fulfil your destiny on earth! God bless and lift you up in JESUS Name!


(Leave a message if you made that decision, or leave a comment below with an email address, if you want a deeper fellowship with JESUS. I'll get back to you.)

Finding Happiness

Once a group of 50 people was attending a seminar. Suddenly the speaker stopped and started giving each person a balloon. Each one was asked to write his/her name on it using a marker pen. Then all the balloons were collected and put in another room.

Now these delegates were let in that room and asked to find the balloon which had their name written, within 5 minutes. Everyone was frantically searching for their name, pushing, colliding with each other, and there was utter chaos. At the end of 5 minutes, no one could find their own balloon.
Now each one was asked to randomly collect a balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it. Within minutes everyone had their own balloon.
The speaker began: This is exactly happening in our lives. Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is. Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their happiness, you will get your own happiness. And this is the purpose of human life.

NB: The above story is made perfect in the scriptures below.
John 13:34-35, "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."  AND   Galatians 6:2, "Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ."

MORE SUCCINCTLY: Hezekiah Walker's all time hit song, 'I NEED YOU TO SURVIVE,' reads in the first two lines of its first verse,
"I need you, you need me;
we’re all a part of God’s body."
Find your happiness today, by finding someone's needs and meeting it! You'd be shocked how much selfishness has robbed you of.
God bless and lift you as you seek his joy.
