Please expect to feel pain in your life.  If you don’t go through pain, you are not headed in the right direction.  You have to know that.  Jesus taught us that and told us that in his own words.  Every time life becomes painful, know that God is preparing you for something. 

You see when you live according to God’s word life will become painful because the devil will be trying even harder to bring you down.  Also because we deal with people, life is just going to be painful.  We just can’t be happy or grow in Jesus if we don’t struggle here and there.  As a child, we went through pain.  Every time we couldn’t have our way, we cried.  It's a different kind of pain but we thought it was painful.   Now that we’re grown, we act like we can’t handle things.  Don’t let pain stop you from becoming who God wants you to become or to be happy.  Things happen for a reason and we have to accept what God has placed before us.  Now I know it’s not easy to do that because pain hurts.  No pain is greater than what Jesus has done for us.

Always remember the sacrifice that was made.  Why can’t we accept the pain as a sacrifice for God?  God has helped me to deal with pain and still live my life.  I have been hurt many times in my life.  Some of the times were very painful to me.  I prayed and talked to God to help me deal with my pain.  He guided me to see that it was okay.  Just let it go and deal with it.  He said have a joyful mind and know that I’m always with you.  He said I’m the rock and know that no one could knock me down.  Thank you Jesus. 

Now when I go through pain, I know that Jesus is really working in my life.  Yes I may cry but I have a joyful mind and I know who’s right beside me.  Some pain is harder than other pain.  For example, when we witness the 9-11, I immediately prayed for the families.  We grieve for our loved ones and it’s very difficult to get through things like that but through God it's possible.  It’s just normal to hold on to memories especially when you spent quality time with someone.  This is why we have to know that God is in control and everything will be okay.

Everybody goes through pain but it’s how we deal with the pain that allows us to get through another day.  Learn how to share your pain and deal with your issues with God.  When we have total confidence in God and we know that God is with us, no pain would be able to take away from our day.  God is just so awesome.  Life is always changing so we will always have issues.  We are in a spiritual warfare and if we’re not prepared, the pain will take us away before our time is due.  Remember life is issues and issues are pain to help us grow.
 
PAIN

PAIN HURTS BUT IT HELPS US TO GROW
 
PAIN IS AN EXAMPLE FOR US TO SHOW
 
OTHERS THAT TRIALS ARE GOOD TO ENDURE
 
IN GAINING STRENGTH
 
THAT I AM SURE
 
Don’t get sad when you go through pain.  Be strong and gain strength to get through the next trial.

I just couldn’t wait to write about this because we all need to know that we can’t give up in life. I talked about this a little but I just want to elaborate on this a little more.  There are so many people living for yesterday & tomorrow and not living for today.  How can you serve and be happy if you don’t know how to handle the present?  I get really sensitive with this issue because we really can’t live if we don’t know how to try again.  I can testify to this because every time I made a mistake, I would fall and didn’t know how to get up.  I would wake up the next day still thinking about something that happen yesterday or days before.  God has helped me realize that nobody’s perfect.  If we don’t make mistakes, we will never get stronger to do God’s work. 
 
This is something that brings tears to my eyes because mistakes are a part of life and I see so many individuals who take their lives away because of something they did in the past.  If you feel embarrassed because of something you did, you have to get over it.  Get rid of the pride and ask Jesus to hold your hand.  Don’t give up and you always have to try again.  Don’t allow your mistakes to take away from your day.  Be proud of what God has done for you and stand up against anything or anyone that tries to bring you down.  Take a look at children.  Don’t they make mistakes?  We try and teach them what they need to do to have a good life.  We forgive them & God forgives us.  Each day is a new life and we should leave all mistakes behind.  Your light will never shine if you don’t leave yesterday behind.  Love yourself s and thank God for allowing you to grow in his name.

Mistakes
 
We all mess up in life from mistakes that we make
Let’s be real.  Let’s not be fake
 
Don’t think you have to be perfect for anyone
God made you for his purpose until it’s done
 
We were born sinners there are going to be mistakes
We just have to get to know Jesus before it’s too late
 
Some of us who know Jesus fall short as well
Because the devil is all around and I’m sure you can tell
 
You will find yourself making the same mistake over and over again
If you don’t get close to Jesus, you will never win
 
When you do wrong, don’t beat yourself up in anyway
Try again, stand up tall and say
 
“God please make me stronger the next time around”
He will give you the strength & a peaceful sound
 
He will tell you to grow & learn from your mistakes
Move on with life for your sake
 
He said I love you and it will be okay
I forgive in each and every way
 
Continue to live when you fall
Just let me guide you to seek your call.
 
 
Mistakes help us to grow.  Learn from your mistakes and move on in life.

HEBREWS 8:12
 
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.

We all need confidence to enjoy life.  If we don’t live our life with total confidence within ourselves, we are living for others.  Yes others because you don’t believe in yourself and you’re afraid of something.  Believe in yourself and know that you can achieve.  I just thank God for confidence because I use to be shy.  I didn’t think I was special.  I was in the closest too long.  It’s time to come out of that closest and live to the fullest.  God opened up doors for me when I let him know how much I needed his help.  I gave the burden to him and allow him to heal me.  I’m not over confident at all but I’m just not afraid.  I had to accept me and if others don’t want to accept me, that’s there lost.  I believe in me and I’ve accepted to love myself. 

Everything I do is with confidence because if I know I’ve tried my best in what I’ve tried to accomplish, the results will come from God.  You see, when we walk with our heads held high and live for God, life becomes joyful.  You don’t have to live for others and please don’t care what other people think.  We just can’t utilize our gifts and talents if we’re not ourselves.  There are many people who lack confidence.  The most important benefit I know from me having confidence is allowing me to deal with people.  I know this is an issue with people because people have a hard time feeling comfortable around others. 

We have to realize that all people came from God and they are no better than us.  When we can’t deal with people, the gifts & talents that God has given us don’t show.  I believe this because we’re not ourselves.  How could we allow our talents to be shared if we not allowing people to see the real person?  It’s just like getting drunk and hanging out.  We act different and that’s what people see.  When were sober, they see a different person.  When we came into this world, we were sober and that’s the person we have to believe in.  I’m not trying to talk against anything or anybody.  I just know from my experience, I had a problem dealing with people.  

Years ago I didn’t think I was smart because the jobs that I had always allowed me to be around intelligent people.  I didn’t know what they knew and I felt stupid.  I went through a lot of pain during that time and I thank God for putting his grace on me.  I had lost myself and was worrying so much about others.  God said wake up Veronica, go out in the real world and live.  I’m right beside you.  Give it all you have and I will do the rest.  Thank you Jesus. 

If you have a desire to accomplish anything, represent yourself well and know that this is your life.  Walk with confidence, stay humbled but be yourself.  Always know who you are and live your life just like everybody else.  When you receive total confidence from God, you will feel like life is worth living. 

 
CONFIDENCE
 
 
Confidence comes from inside
Don’t be afraid to give life your all, don’t hide
 
It’s so wonderful to see
Confidence in you and me
 
It’s like a person glowing inside and out
Enjoying every moment without a doubt
 
When things get tough and you feel down
Stand up confident with a smile not a frown
 
You will feel good about yourself each and every day
If you are confident in each and every way
 
Life is a journey, do what you feel is best
Decisions are hard sometimes, deal with it and forget about the rest
 
Confidence will make you feel like you are rough
You will need that gift when things get tough
 
You may not get what you want or look your best
But confidence will give you joy when your life is a mess
 
Utilize your confidence, glow and do what’s best for you
There’s nothing more special than to do what you want to do
 
Go ahead let your confidence out
That’s really, really what it’s all about.
 
Always walk with confidence and you will Love Yourself.
 
HEBREWS 13:6
 
So we may boldly say:  "The LORD is my helper; I will not fear.  What can man do to me?"

Our attitude contributes to about 99% of our happiness.  I strongly believe this because God gave us the power to make choices.  We can respond to any situation negative or positive.  I’m going to prove to you that my philosophy is true just by giving you a couple of examples. 

If you say to yourself “ I’m stressed”, you will be stressed.  If someone is negative towards you, you can either be negative back or respond positive.  Everything that comes out of your mouth is your fault.  So in other words, we do & say what we want.  We have to learn how to control ourselves.  Happiness will never come to you if you allow others to get to you.  You make your day so live positive in every way.  We have to carry ourselves well.  This means get control and know that we have the power to control how we respond to all situations.

I’ll tell you God have truly blessed me because I control my day and by the grace of God no one can take that away.  People are negative towards me sometimes but I don’t fault them nor do I respond negative back.  I don’t let anybody take advantage of me but I love unconditionally.  I know why I’m here & I can’t contribute to my purpose if I don’t love & forgive.  When people are negative towards me, I know that they are going through some kind of pain and they need help.  I pray for them and I still love them.  Don't get me wrong sometimes you can still  love from a distract but you can't let her heart be angry.  That’s power and thank you Jesus.  We can’t blame other people for the outcome of our lives because we make the decisions. 

Yes, people can be terrible and people have done bad things to us.  We all have to watch our back but trust in God and stay positive.  We don’t make the calls so learn to control your attitude.  Don’t make life harder than what it is now.  A positive attitude definitely contributes to your happiness.  I told you that your life is what you make of it.  I heard people blame others for things they did not get in life.  Don’t dwell on the past but don’t forget history. 

If you want something, go after it, this is a free country.  You may have to fall a few times or get stepped on but don’t give up.  You can be whatever you want to be.  People will always be people. We can’t control them but we can control our actions.  Go with the flow and let God handle situations that you encounter.  Do this and you will always get through any situation by not allowing other people to control your life. 

When you respond negative, you are allowing others to control you.  I learned that the hard way and I thank God for helping me.  I’m a people person but I made mistakes throughout my life.  I learned from my mistakes but in the past my attitude held me back from getting what I wanted.  A positive attitude is power because it allows you to get through all situations and be able to keep on walking.  It’s a win-win situation for both you and the person you are dealing with at the time.  You would know how to deal with people and the other person would be able to witness your positive attitude. 

If you keep that positive attitude, you will benefit.  You will feel happy and know that you set the tone of your day.  Thank God for a positive attitude and always respond positively.  You will see things happening when you produce a good attitude and you will see the power that you have within yourself.
 
ATTITUDE
  
Attitude is something in our control you see
It takes you wherever you want to be
 
It can block you and stop you
From achieving in life and to do
 
Whatever you would like to do in life
It’s up to you to control your attitude with all your might
 
Whatever path you chose to follow growing up
Don’t blame other people for your stuff
 
When people upset you and try to bring you down
Stand up tall with a smile not a frown
 
People will always be people these days
You have to learn how to get over things always
 
You can meet your goals each day
If you don’t allow other people to get in your way
 
Each of us has a chance to succeed
The opportunities are there for you if you want to achieve

I've seen people who have great potential
But they let their attitude control them instead of meeting their credentials
 
Have control over your attitude be a leader
If you’re negative, you will never be an achiever
 
You can follow your dreams, I mean that too
Control your attitude and do what’s best for you.
                       
Attitude is what we control.  It’s the first step to the outcome of your life.
 

EPHESIANS 4:31
 
Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.

Of all the things that we do in life, we should be appreciative of God.  We really wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for God.  God has blessed us so much and we really need to thank him for his mercy.  Every good thing that happens in our life is because of God.  

If you look back on your life, you will definitely understand why you need to appreciate God.  I know I have to thank him because it’s a blessing that I’m still here.  I’ve seen people come and go and he continues to give me chances.  Even through my faults, he’s there.  We just don’t thank God enough.  We need to learn to thank him for all things.  When we’re able to see the morning and the night, we have been blessed.  This message is so important to me because God has really put his grace on me.  Every day I wake up, before I get out of bed.  I thank God.  I don’t move until I say “thank you.” 

Don’t start thanking God when things are not going well.  Thank him when things are good.  I remember when I had went through a situation in life and I thought I was depressed.  I’m not afraid to say it because I’ve learned something and I had to go through that to get to where I am today.  I just had too much going on and couldn’t handle trials and responsibilities.  I didn’t have the wisdom I have today and I didn’t know how to prioritize my responsibilities.  I prayed every day and asked God to help me.   I just didn’t understand why I couldn’t have a good day.  I just needed to take one day at a time and get rid of some of my responsibilities.  At the same time, God was still with me.  I didn’t really have a personal relationship but I knew how to pray.  God put his grace on me.  He said trust in me and you will survive.  I was just living for me and trying to get things that were not important.  You see when we can’t live with the simple things in life, our lives become too busy and we work so hard for things that are not important. 

Appreciate what God has given you and thank him for his glory.  I just had to share that because there are so many people who are not enjoying life because they can’t handle responsibilities.  Appreciate God for giving you life and thank him for all things. 

Gratitude

Thank you God for life
It’s the most precious gift from you
 
Thank you God for good health

Thank you God for listening to me
When I need you the most
 
Thank you God for forgiving me
When I do wrong
 
Thank you God for giving me confidence
To stand up tall before people
 
Thank you God for giving me strength
To get through pain
 
Thank you God for guiding me
In the right direction
 
Thank you God for giving me peace
With the good and the bad
 
Thank you God for giving me a good heart
To be able to forgive others
 
Thank you God for a good mind
To know that I can be happy
 
Thank you God for all things
In life that you bring

Thank You God

HEBREWS 12:28
 
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.

Let of Pray,

Dear God, thank you so much for another day.  Lord these days are going so fast but we know that they are so precious.  You know we all go through situations and we try to do what you want us to do but sometimes it's hard.  Lord we need your mercy and your grace all the time.  You tell us Lord to ask for what we want and most of the time we do that but we also know that you have a plan and always a way. 

Situations that come in our lives are sometimes tough but because of you, we're able to walk through the storms with our head held high.  You give us the tools and the ingredients to get through by asking us to practice good virtues and loving our neighbor as we love ourselves, forgiving one another, humbling ourselves and having faith in you.  Lord sometimes people are so mean but at the same time, we don't do what we need to do either.  We ask you to help all of us so that we can become more like you.  I feel like we can make a difference and it starts with us.

We can't blame nobody for our actions but just try to do what you ask us to do and everything will be alright.  Lord, I'm saying all of this because it's very important to talk to you because you're the core of survival and peace in this world.  We're just trying to do what we have to do and hold on to our lives.  If it wasn't for you, I really don't know how we will make it in this world so Thank you very  much.

When we put our burdens in your book is when we have peace and able to be happy in our lives.  Words just can't express how important that is and we so appreciate you.  Lord, I'm not sure what people are going through but you know us better than we know ourselves and I'm not sure who's reading these messages but thank you for using me to bring hope and to make a difference.  Even if it was one person benefiting from these messages, it's well worth the time and effort to show your love.

Lord, each day is a new day and I hope and pray that we always have confidence in you to do what you want us to do and not what we want to do. l Please continue to hold our hand, walk with us, talk with us and know that we love you very much.  Thank You and Amen

Do you know how it feels to ask someone to do something and you know it’s going to get done?  That’s having total confidence in someone.  If you ever feel that way, you know that everything will be taken care of for you.  This is how we have to be with God if we want to be happy with life.  I don’t know about you but this is how I get through life.  I have total confidence that God is taking care of me every day.  It’s not a spec in my mind that I believe anything different.  I know he’s watching over me.

I look back on my life and see what could have happen but didn’t.  That was nobody but God.  I know I said this before but every time I go through something, I remember Jesus carrying that cross.  He fell three times.  He knew that he had to struggle.  He never gave up and he was totally confident that everything was going to be okay.  He had so much class because he was humbled and he knew he was going to win in the end.  We have to believe and have faith. That’s common sense.  We just have to understand who’s running the show and accept life according to his will.

God knows what’s going to happen before it happens.  We don’t have a clue.  We think we know so much but know so little.  Life is like walking on a cloud.  We don’t know when we’re going to fall.  God knows everything and he wants us to have faith in Him all the time.  We can’t doubt God and he sees when we lack faith.  In the bible, Jesus healed people who had faith and he always said:  You are healed because of your faith.  God wants us to depend on him.  He was there at the beginning and will be there at the end.  God is with you.  You can’t be happy with life if you don’t have faith to allow God to guide you through your journey.

FAITH
 
Life is full of ups and downs
Sometimes they’re smiles and sometimes they’re frowns
 
It all depends on what we’re going through
We just don’t know what we will do
 
I want to tell you that each day is new
Don’t waste your time worrying, God will get you through
 
Life is a mystery don’t try to figure it out
Just know that God is here, that’s no doubt
 
When situations come your way & you don’t know what to do
Talk to God & ask Him to guide you
 
Have faith in Him and know that He’s holding your hand
He’s always there because He has a plan
 
It doesn’t matter what the situation may be
Put your worries in His book & you will see
 
The burdens lifted & you may not understand
Because He works miracles, He is the man
 
He’s forgiving, caring & loving to us all
He always answers when we call
 
We are his children & He looks after us too
He said “have faith in me I will never, never leave you”
 
Faith will take you to the top of the mountain and you will see the beauty of life.
 
JAMES 1:6
 
But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.

There’s no greater feeling than to be at peace with life.  What I mean by peace is not worrying about nothing in your life.  Of course, we're human and it's going to be times when we worry a little but I'm talking about being totally dependent on God.  Living your day as if you don’t have a problem in the world.  That’s peace.  It's really amazing what God has done in our lives.  If you really want to be happy, you have to be at peace with life.  The only way you will be at peace in life is to give all your burdens to God.  I mean when something bad happens and you can’t handle it, just put it in God’s book.  Let it go.  It’s just like sending mail and putting mail in the mailbox.  You trust the mailman to deliver.  You don’t worry about it anymore.  When you pay a bill, you don’t worry about that either.  You may worry about the next one in how you’re going to pay it but the one you sent, is done.  You feel at peace.  Why can’t we trust in God and know he will deliver.  This is what we must learn to do. Just give it to God.  Don’t even worry about it anymore.  Have faith and know that God is going to take care of it. 

I’m going to share with you how God has helped me be at peace in my life.  These are some powerful words so please listen.  God gave me life.  I have developed a relationship with him through the bible and prayer.  I spent a lot of time getting to know God.  In communicating with him, I’ve gained a lot of wisdom.  He had given me grace to have faith in him.  Each day I live is not always good.  I have a joyful mind but there are times when I need to be alone.  Sometimes we need that to revitalize our minds and be who God wants us to be.  I try my best daily to live according to God’s will.  Sometimes I fall, but I always managed to get up and start over.  I prepare myself for trials each day by knowing why I’m here and who I’m serving.  I accept whatever comes my way as a gift that God is working in my life.  Each day is a new day.  I don't dwell on yesterday because God said today is enough to handle.  Everything I go through, I know that God is with me.  God has taught me that in order to get through life and to be what he has chosen for me, I have to be strong and walk through the storms.  That means going through pain to win the victory.  I’m not done but it’s okay.  You see peace comes from depending on God & allowing him to fight your battles.  I don’t fight my battles.  I allow God to do what he does best.  He said I am.  That’s all he needs to say just because he’s God. 

As long as we’re able to breathe and is here living, you can be at peace.  Awaken to each day as a new life and allow God to fight your battles.  That’s peace and this is what will allow you to be happy with this precious gift of life.  It’s easy to be happy with life when everything is going well.  What happens when life is not so well?  Happiness is peace and peace is not worrying about trials and tribulations in your life especially when you don't have control over situations.  Let Go and Let God. Amen
 

PEACE
 
When you can get through trials and tribulations
You know you have peace
 
When you can deal with the stress in your life
You know you have peace
 
When you go through pain and grow from your experiences
You know you have peace
 
When you are able to walk on the bumpy roads
You know you have peace
 
When you fall and try again
You know you have peace
 
When you cry tears and know that God is holding your hand
You know you have peace
 
When you awaken with happiness
You know you have peace
 
When you feel joy, when your life is a mess
You know you have peace
 
When you go through battles and give it to God
You definitely have peace.
 
Always have peace and know that God will take all of your burdens.
 

PHILIPPIANS 4:6,7
 
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
 
 
 

Life is all about being able to start a new day.  If you can’t get up in the morning and start over, you need strength.  Now, I know sometimes we get tired, lazy and just don’t think we can make it the next day.  You have to treat each day as a new day even when we go through pain and suffering.  God showed me that by telling me the story of the caterpillar.  We all know that story.  Before a caterpillar can become a butterfly, it goes through pain and suffering in its cocoon.  If the cocoon is opened before it’s ready, it’s not going to be able to fly.  If the caterpillar can’t fly, it has to crawl all of its life.  What I’m saying is:  sometimes when we do things to make our lives easier, we hurt ourselves.  We just have to hold on and use the strength that God gives us to get through life. 

Don’t rush things by trying to go the easy route.  Walk your journey and be ready for anything.  Hold on and know in due time, everything will be fine.  You see if the caterpillar comes out the cocoon before the struggle, it’s not going to be prepared.  When we struggle, we prepare ourselves to challenge life.  If you ever get into a situation where you feel that you can’t get through, just ask God for strength.  He will give it to you.  I’m a witness to that.  He will give you more than what you ask him for.  When you fall, pray to God.  He hears you and he will answer your prayers.  Thank you Jesus. 

You have to believe in God and know that He’s beside you every day of your life.  We all are sensitive in some area.  When you go through something and you don’t feel that you can’t get through, don’t beat yourself up.  Especially when you know you’ve tried your best.  God is the only being who can get you through your day.  I’m facing a trial right now in my life.  I ask God for strength every morning and I know he’s with me.  So I don’t worry about it.  The bottom line is:  If you can’t start a new day, you will not be able to live, be happy or fulfill your purpose.  Don’t give up and hold on to your life.
 

STRENGTH
 
Strength is a wonderful gift you see
You will need strength every day to be
 
The person that  God chose for you
To stand up tall and to do
 
Wonderful deeds for him
To help others to win not sin
 
Salvation, happiness, joy and love
Are so important from God up above
 
Life is a gift, choose to be glad
Not weary, mad or even sad
 
It’s difficult sometimes to get through pain
But strength is so important to gain
 
You will feel low at times
Keep your head held high with God on our mind

Strength comes from the most high
Isn’t it wonderful to be blessed even when we cry?
 
Each experience in life is like a voice
God is telling you, learn from it, move on, that’s your choice
 
We live our own lives and strength is the key
To get through all things and have peace eternally
 
Gain strength to get through anything that comes your way.
 
2 THESSALONIANS 3:3
 
But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.
 

You know sometimes life is so stressful that we tend to do things to relieve our mind away from reality.  I’ve done it and I know you all have done it too.  I say that because life is full of responsibilities.  There are always things to do and deadlines to meet.  Everybody isn’t organized and even when you’re organized, you still get tired sometimes.  We all need time for pleasure or entertainment.  If you don’t have time for yourself, then you need to backtrack and look at your life.  We just get so busy that we tend to always do things for our spouse, friends or children.  That’s okay but you have a life too.  Think about that statement.  If you’re not in your right mind, how are you going to help anybody else?  You have to be responsible but there’s nothing wrong with finding a social bunch and communicating at times.  This is good for the soul.  The problem comes in when we get involved with our life and don’t practice good virtues. 

You know we put a lot of stress on ourselves.  Everybody is free to do whatever he or she wishes to do.  That’s all good but when we don’t practice good virtues, something negative always happens.  I know everybody is not strong enough to do the right thing but at least try.  Before you know it, you will be able to overcome some of the bad habits that you do.  I know I’m not perfect and I make mistakes but I don’t fall all the time.  I’m a very loving person and I try my best to do good things and treat others the way I would want to be treated.   What I saying is:  we’re not perfect but we need to try to keep our mind on doing good things and not bad things.  The devil is already on our backs waiting for us to mess up.  Don’t give him anything to use against you.  Try and be stronger than that.  We all are human and we all were born with sin. 

When we get to know Jesus and be born again, God shows us what’s good and what’s bad.  When this happens, we know where we are and where we need to be.  Life is already a challenge and when we don’t practice good virtues, we are only making the challenge harder.  When we do bad things, we affect ourselves and others as well.  We’re definitely not living up to one of the most commandments of all:  Loving God and his children.  We waste too much energy being negative.  Being negative doesn’t add another day to your life.  Actually, it takes away days from your life. 

We need to feel good about our actions so that we can enjoy the life that was given to us.  Now, I know we interact with people a lot and sometimes people are mean.  We still have the obligation to love unconditionally.  God said allow your light to shine.  People get tired of living in darkness.  People may be negative for a while but love them unconditionally and they will come around.  I know that’s true because when we do good deeds, our light shine and people want to be a part of the light.  When we live in darkness, there’s no light.  Eventually, life will become darker and darker and you’re not going to see your way through.  Let’s try and practice good virtues and enjoy the beauty of life.
