Does God base on what you do to love you?

God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do. I believe in God as I believe that that the sun has risen; not only because I see it , but because by it I see everything else. Knowing that God is there for me , that He knows and loves me personally. Knowing that God is there for each one of us , that He knows us and loves us; we can place our trust in him. Like Janet Kataaha Museveni said in her book 'my life's journey, the same thing is happening in my area. "During my teenage years, there was a new movement within the Christian circles that called itself the 'Re-awakened' This group believed that a person could not profess to be a Christian unless they adhered to strict codes of conduct such as wearing long dresses for women, no jewellery and cutting their hair very short. To me, this group seemed to focus more on outward observances than on the condition of one's heart and they were very critical of other Christians who didn't agree with these standards . I recall that many young people were discouraged from having anything to do with God and Christianity because the God that was preached by these groups seemed like a harsh judgemental God who was just waiting to see you fall or make a mistake so that He could punish you".  Please religious leaders, kindly use your spiritual knowledge to strengthen other's faith Not to disarm it . Deuteronomy 7:7 " The LORD did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any of the peoples , for you were the fewest of all peoples"  Deu7:8 " but it is because the Lord loves you and is keeping the oath the He swore to your Fathers , that the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh King of Egypt ".   John 15: 16 "You didn't choose me but I chose you and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He gives to you" Isaiah 49-51 " Before I was born the Lord chose me to serve him. He appointed me by name. He hid me in the palm of His hand. He took good care of me and kept me safe. The Lord formed me in my mother's body to be His servant",the Lord answers " Can a mother forget the baby who is nursing at her breast? Can she stop showing her tender love to the child who was born to her? She might forget her child, but I will not forget you"

The storm won't kill you

I was born in 1998 and I lost my father in 2000. I have seven biological brothers and two biological sisters, and am the second last born in the family. By the time my father died, the first born son was studying mechanical engineering and the second eldest brother was in senior six, and that was their end. Everything turned upside down. The next chapter of life was characterized by poverty, tears, grief, sorrow, and misery. One of my brothers attempted to make a suicide; He hang himself on a tree but unfortunately my mother saw him and made a very loud cry to him, in panic the rope slipped from the tree and he felt down, making the suicide unsuccessful. The first born ran mad. I remember him trying to eat a dog alive!  In that tearful moments, there are two prayers ( we are Catholics) that created a rock foundation on which the family is built on up to today. One was prayed by my mother and the second one prayed by my second eldest brother. My mother's prayer " Dear Mother Ma...

Life isn't fair, but its still good

"I went to KFC. 24 people went for the job, 23 were accepted, I was the only one rejected. And we went for police, five people full of them accepted, I was the only one rejected. I applied for Harvard ten times rejected" said by Jack ma, richest man in China. When you've exhausted all possibilities, remember this , you haven't . No matter how bad it is , it could always be worse. Be glad its not. Put your problems in proper perspective. The reason why we don't become who we want to be is because we do attach to who we've been. Haven't you ever hard people saying " but i have always been like this!" Most of us want the convenience of transformation without the inconvenience required for the transformation. Let go of the past so that you can create a better future. It doesn't mean what happened was right, it means your future happiness is more important than holding on to something you can't change. If you want to achieve something differen...

Authentic Life

By
  When Isaac Newton was in his early twenties, in 1665, a great plague hit London. To prevent the plague from spreading further, London city was locked down. Newton was studying at Trinity College, Cambridge and the school sent all it's students home. Over one hundred people died because of this epidemic.  Was Newton stressed during this quarantine? Perhaps not . It was during this time that Newton got still and concentrated more on his deeper understanding about scientific theories. He wrote papers that became the early calculus , discovered differential and integral calculus and formulated a theory of Universal gravitation .  Now, when the ladder is not Leaning on the right wall, each step we make get us to the wrong place faster.  The foundation , the origin of an authentic life , is knowing who we are. "Who am I , and what do I exactly want in this life?"   There is a uniqueness on every individual here on earth , which when discovered by the individual and ...
