PRACTICAL ADVICES

Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her.           

 Proverbs 3:13-15  

Beloved family and esteemed friends of the Blog, today I would like to give you some advice for life; some of them are anonymous and some of them are intertwined with my own, but all of them are worthy of our attention. I found them while looking through my archives and I am sure that they will be of benefit to us all.

Problems are not eternal, there is always a solution. What we cannot fix is death, but this is God’s will.

We will always find loud and boisterous people, this is what cowards too when they know they are wrong. We will always find people who want to blame us for their failures to quiet their conscience. Save your good memories for the bad times. Listen and tell what you feel only to those whom are trustworthy. Learn to feel what you are worth, dream what you want, and understand that God loves you so much that you lack nothing. We need to be strong and learn to get up when we stumble because we must understand that after the storm there is calm, knowing that God protects us. Don’t forget that this life is short and fleeting, so live it correctly and happily.

Now I invite you to analyze these phrases: Before arguing, take a breath. Before you speak, listen. Before you criticize, examine yourself. Before hurting someone, feel it yourself. Before you give up, try. Before dying, repent. Before writing, think.

Remember, the best relationship is not that which unites perfect people; instead it is when everyone learns to live with everyone’s defects and learns to admire their qualities.

He who doesn’t value what he has, will later lament losing it. He who does evil will one day receive his due. If you want to be happy, make those around you happy. If you want to receive, give.

Surround yourself with good people and be one of them. Don’t forget that sometimes we make the happiest memories with those whom we least expect it. Don’t ruin your present because of a past that doesn’t have a future. A believer in JESUS CHRIST knows how to maintain his life in order. Manage to thrown on a smile even when your eyes are full of tears. We never know what will happen, and this is a good thing because if we could predict everything that would happen to us then life wouldn’t be worth living. If everything was like you want it to be and if everything was certain then you wouldn’t be a person made by God but instead a machine. Don’t forget that God is so good that He saw our sadness and problems and said, “The hard times over now that I’ve come to give you life and life in abundance.”

Remember wisdom is giving good fruit with our talents and recognizing that we are special. Those who are wise are people that love God and their neighbors; this is great commandment and all the others come from this one. The fulfilment of the law is in this great commandment which is summed up in one word: LOVE. Practice it because our Creator expects it from us.

With love,

Maria Fanny Agudelo
