what is ?  or what is not? 


and if it is, is it true or a lie?     



                                     How Can We Find out?






 I am glad that Christ came to minister and heal all who come to him.  some times  we may be like that womon. we seek for something more out of life and want to fill voids with any thing that we can.  food. sugar, soda,  over eating,  drugs  drinking away the pain, X-box W.O.W.    But no matter how much  we drink  we will never be filled;   our drink never lasts!

      
 how log will we stay looking for wooden nickels how long will we do the things that lead to sadness?

So how do we tell if   something is true?  

   well  the first step is to actually  believe Christ.

John 3 16- 17. 

Came not to condemn... but  to save from sin. 


In my journey I have realized that following Christ really takes work, hope, and a desire to  always come back to choosing what is right, admitting  faults and trying to get better.
 there have been some days where i get up and my first thought is "OGH.  why to day Why do I need to work?  
with all the choices we have in life, cant I just chose the one that looks  good.  like drinking and drugs and porn. it looks good and it seems fun. right?
   
  what about being honest and working and living to be the best I can be?  how do I do that?

HOW CAN I tell what Is true?  how can I tell what will bring me the most happiness.


If you have thoughts like these do what  the Scriptures say  Follow thou me.Christ is the way his example leads to happiness

 I know that every time I have followed his way and thought like Him . I'm Happy I   have peace and  joy.

I also know the times I think I  know best, I have fun for a while but its not peaceful and I don't have a lasting joy. (my drink leaves me hungry)

So I  ask  what is keeping you from being Happy?     What are you willing to do to find Lasting joy?
 and consider this

 20 Wherefore, ye must press forward with a ^asteadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of ^bhope, and a ^clove of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and ^dendure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have ^eeternal life.

 21 And now, behold, my beloved brethren, this is the ^away; and there is ^bnone other way nor ^cname given under heaven whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God. And now, behold, this is the ^ddoctrine of Christ, and the only and true doctrine of the ^eFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, which is ^fone God, without end. Amen.
