FEBRUARY 2012

ISSUE NO. 120

* FEBRUARY 2012 *

Written by Johanna Stang Hobrath, 1/24,25,31 to 2/1/2012

 

A number of years ago, I read a few lines from a profound statement.  The few lines were written by an unknown author.  In the month of January 2012, I read an expanded version of the profound statement.  The “IF” article carries many thoughtful admonishments and/or uplifting thoughts that anyone may apply to their own lives.

 

For the month of February 2012, the Halo Ministries' Newsletter is featuring the “IF” article.  May the  article prove to be a blessing to the readers.

 

 

If a child lives with criticism,

… He learns to condemn.

If a child lives with hostilities,

… He learns to fight.

If a child lives with fears

… He learns to be apprehensive.

If a child lives with pity,

… He learns to feel sorry for himself.

If a child lives with jealousy,

… He learns to feel guilty.

If a child lives with encouragement

… He learns to be confident.

If a child lives with tolerance

… He learns to be patient.

If a child lives with praise

… He learns to be appreciative.

If a child lives with acceptance,

… He learns to love.

If a child lives with approval,

… He learns to like himself.

If a child lives with recognition,

… He learns to have a goal..

If a child lives with fairness,

… He learns what justice is.

If a child lives with honesty,

… He learns what trust is.

If a child lives with security,

… He learns to have faith in himself and in those above him.

If a child lives with friendliness,

… He learns that the world is a good place in which to live.

 

 

We all live in an imperfect world.  Why did Jesus come to this world?  Jesus came to unite sinful mankind to a Loving, Holy God.  Indeed, God loved us so much that He permitted Jesus to be born in a lowly stable in Bethlehem.   Also, Jesus gave His life for you and I so that we may receive eternal life and be worthy to some day enter the “Glorious Heaven”.  (John 3:16)  Jesus taught the disciples (the followers of Christ) how they should live.  As followers of Christ, we may also know how to live our daily lives so that you and/or my life can be a reflection of the Love of God.

 

The world may not be perfect.  Christians may not always please God in every areas of daily living.  However, it is a great comfort that we are able to come to the Heavenly Father through Christ Jesus and permit Him to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.   

(I John 1:9)

 

The “IF” outline is a good outline to follow.  The “Golden Rule” in Scripture tells us:  “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men (people) should do to you, do ye even so to them:  for this is the law and the prophets.”  Matthew 7:12 

 

Dear Reader:  My desire is:  “To be more like Jesus and to follow His Teachings!”  Many years ago, while a youth leader for four years, the youth group sang the following chorus ……..

 

"And He walks with me and He talks with me, 

and He tells me I am His own, 

and the joy we share as we tarry there, 

none other has ever known.”

 

Quotation by JSH, 1/31/2012:  "When facing daily challenges, permit Jesus to be included in those challenges. "  

Regards, JSH
