Has it been hard to show love? We live in a world full of hate; full of tragedy, and seems to be going in the wrong direction.

The last few generations have slowly change the way we see things. There are many broken homes. there are children who turn out like their parents, and that isn’t always the right way to go.

Let me share some thoughts from my book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.”

One of the chapters is called, “Hate is Not a Family Value.” It talks about our obligations as parents to be good examples for our children so that they may grow up and pass it on to their own children.

I used this short analogy to get my point across.

“If you smoke your children will probably smoke too, because it is ‘Monkey see monkey do.’ If you drink too much, your children will probably drink too much, because it is monkey see monkey do. If you take drugs, your children will probably take drugs, because it is monkey see monkey do.”

That chapter did cause much conversation.  

I pleaded with the adults of this world to stop right now, and change their lives into a role of leadership for their children. If they show good leadership, their children will show good leadership, because it is monkey see, and monkey do.

Is it that simple? Is that all we need to do to change the world? Well, it certainly couldn’t hurt. It surely would change many lives, if everyone did the same thing in their own lives.

Remember:

You are not alone.

You are not forsaken.

You are not unloved.

And above all… Never, ever, give up!

On that note… Are you following the path that God has laid out for you? Are you winging it on your own? I was winging it on my own back in 2001, and it didn’t work for me.

I was literally down to my last breath clinging to a then rope, and ready to check out of this hotel called earth. This was all because I wanted to face life on my own terms, and was sinking in the muck and mire.

I finally cried out to God, “I can’t take this anymore,” and he took me by the hand and has been by carrying me ever since.

Don’t try to go through life alone. Turn all your worries and trials over to God, and let Him lead the way for you.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

Above all….never, ever, give up!

You Are Not Alone, Forsaken, or Unloved.

My thoughts for today…

We all have faced trials and storms. They will not go away, and let us live in a dream world. Many times we feel like we are being dragged down by a huge magnate. We seem to be drowning in the muck and mire.

How can we survive in all of this turmoil?

WE need to rely on God to hold us by the hand and walk the paths we take with us. He is always there anyway, we just need to ask him for help.

He will still allow the storms, but He will help calm them. Many times adversity helps us grow.

In closing..

You are not alone.

You are not forsaken.

You are not unloved.

Above all… Never, ever, give up!
