"Treat yourself like someone you love"
This is my fav quote, and it changed me a lot, at the beginning I heard it from a self love influencer "spencer barbosa", then I was like I'll try to do it, to treat myself like someone I love, and I started loving myself truly thanks to that
@brightCloud9846 how we treat ourselves often influences how we treat others.
Self compassion is so important. This helps me https://youtu.be/mpVsedh2LNs
I like the quote that talks about how whatever we do every day matters more then what we do once in a while.
Well, I don’t REALLY like it because the lazy, judgemental part of me doesn’t want to do the work to change myself.
Yet when I think about it I realize I’ve been doing pretty good and have a lot to be just so thankful and grateful for.
I found a place to live after losing my house when my landlords needed their cabin back as they had another kid.
Even though I needed to stay in hotels and hostels and family wouldn’t take me in I’m seeing how I grew.
If family had just given me a place to stay I wouldn’t have the strength I have now or possibly my own place.
Even though it has stains on the carpet and no kitchen it’s private and in a good location and has the basics covered.
I need to walk a long way to do my laundry but it’s teaching me to hand wash most things and declutter and downsize things.
I need to wash my dishes in the bathroom sink but it’s teaching me to be grateful for cleanliness and good hygiene.
I need to ask others for help but it’s teaching me that no man is an island and that my social skills can actually improve.
My point is that every day I have a choice to hold onto the past or open the present and embrace creating my future.
This is difficult because I sometimes get stuck worrying, hurrying, fussing or rushing and need to reparent myself out.
So every day if I’m meditating, journaling, keeping a neat and tidy home and appearance, I just feel better.
Maybe not while it’s happening...I do suffer through most things a goodly amount. But it’s better then doing nothing.
Maybe not a lot better, but marginally, fractionally, infinitesimally more tolerable then doing nothing at all.

That's a beautiful quote.

@Simpleman123
Hi friend.
Thank you for your many quotes.
Well, because of lack of energy (ME/CFS) I cannot move outside my flat, so I'm more like a tree rooted. But i hope with the grace of Jesus Christ I can bear fruit!
The discussion we had above was deleted. That's how it goes.
All the best from Helga.
@Helgafy
i too pray in Jesus, but we must not put all the weight on him, especially if our heart is ignorant about his scripture, Jesus has 47 parables, it’s best to cite his parables if we indeed pray upon him, for the word Jesus has been debotched to the point of meaningless.
I stick with what he said in Matthew, for many will call upon his name, but it will be all in vain, as he said how much of us have done the will of the father? If none of us is as righteous as the scribes, we will not get into heaven, he did not come to abolish the law as he says but to fullfill. So if we would to follow Jesus we must keep the law atleast to an extant we emulate Jesus. No one can fullfill the whole law of 600 of them based on the Old Testament, but we must keep a portion of it as our cup. Jesus is a G, but he is not this all forgiving person when it comes to breaking his fathers laws, he is very strict as well. But thankfully he is the milk, as fulling the law wouod take the power of consuming the meat. Obviously we can’t handle the meat, so we must turn to Jesuses parables to do so.
Parables of the sower, the talents, the prodigal son, the leaven bread and all of his milk. Even Jesuses verses are not so easy, but with him we have a chance.
@Simpleman123
Thank you so much for your post. I absolutely love Jesus Christ. He sais: "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John14.6. I have no idea of what you mean when you say that Jesus is milk. He says about himself that He is the bread of life though.
Thank you for writing. From your sister in Christ, Helga.
@Helgafy
This explanation is from Paul…
1 Corinthians 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
1 Corinthians 3:2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
He is talking about Jesus, the word of Jesus was the lesser end of the law of God, many of the Pharisees were challenged by Jesus when Jesus did not obey some of the laws, which most were put towards him was mans laws, not Gods, like healing people on the sabbath day, calling out corrupt authorities for turning churches into money hungry solicits, not washing properly and knowing scripture better than some of them.
Again my jest with Jesus is, I’ve talked to many regular people who use lines like god gave his only begotten son, he is the way, the is savior and all that similar things, God did not like performing miracles for Moses, for Isiah, for David, for Solomon, and others because this means he had to intervene, this is true when parents must pick up their kids from suspension of school, from jail or fight for them, they do it but they are not happy. The same with Jesus, I rarely saw Jesus happy in scripture, so we should see that because of their unhappiness we must do our part in not disobeying the laws, sinning via making mistakes and messing up.
There is no power in his name, not to the extant I’ve seen people use them, doesn’t matter what you call him, Jesus, Hesus, Yahshua, Isa, those are just his name being being beknownst. Nothing to do with if you are obeying their laws, statues and commandments, it’s not your words that matter but your deeds and conduct. Many people talk out a big game in life and have nothing to show for.
Matthew 15:7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
Matthew 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
Matthew 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Matthew 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus like every prophet will point back to the law, the statues and commandments, citing he is the way, are you upholding his way or your way? He says so himself, we must practice and obey all the law. Not one jot of the law is done away with, do you you know how small a jot is? This means nearly the entire law is to be upheld. From Moses, to David, Jeremiah, Isiah, Eziekiel, Amos, Daniel, Muhammad, and all who were given the word of God.
@Helgafy
There is 613 laws in the bible, Jesus said not a tittle or a jot is done away with.
How much of the law are you upholding? 613? 500? 300? 100? 5? Jesus makes it clear, we are to obey the law given by his father.
Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
I’ve seen countless of people call out his name, say they are Christian’s and profess they are saved, yet they’re actions and deeds knowledge of scripture was next to zero, having a few quotes from the Bible or a prophet or Jesus, will get you no where. There are 66 books in the Bible. How much have you read, upheld or Practice? It’s better to say you don’t know or don’t than to lie on their names which will make it worse for those who are like wolves in sheeps clothing, at the same pragmatic time, professing one’s own lack of knowledge would only promote oneself to want to learn and start asking. I know I am not saved. I’m fine with that, but I wanna be saved, that’s the difference, I don’t lie to myself, that I’m saved, this starts the process of practicing and doing the things required to being saved.
@Simpleman123
Hi wonderful Simpleman123.
I must say I simply love the word of God/The Bible. About the last you wrote; "I wanna be saved": The quote beneath tells about how to be saved. Jesus died on the cross for our sins once, if we believe that we are righteous in front of the throne of God when we go there to praise Him, worship Him, pray for ourselves and others.
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
From your friend Helga.
@Simpleman123
Hi simpleman 123
I just wanted to give you a verse from the Bible of how to become righthouse before God. Romans 3:28
28 For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
Paul was a Jew before he met Jesus Christ so he know all about the law. (He's writing to the Christians in Rome).

@Helgafy
Like you said about Jesus and how to be saved, I think it isn’t that simple, again, John is not Jesus, and Paul is not Jesus, Jesus himself never said to worship him, nor pray to him, but to pray like him. He prayed to the father, through following scripture.
Not until the law is finished, i would be weary of one liners, and common rehashing quotes, those will give only false hope, like Jesus said, in the time of Isaiah’s, many called to him, there lips were with him, but their heart was far away.
Not to mention, Although Jesus beat out the Pharisees by having greater knowledge and made things easier for us, which i appreciate, I would be watchful for what Bible me and others get their scripture from, from 70 different versions, of editing and altering words, they’d lose the meaning, message and salt. This is why I’d stick to only a few, because like Muslims point out, there is too much tampering with the word as Moses says, thou shall not add to the word of God, nor take away, he who does will be destroyed.
Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
Deuteronomy 4:3 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baalpeor: for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from among you.
To believe in Christ, is to do what he asked, not what his disciples or apostate ask. And to do that. As Jesus says, we must keep the law of the father. Given to all the prophets. I wanna be saved, but I know I am not…yet. For both peter and Judas also said they believe in Jesus, but it was their actions that proved they were not his friends.
Similar to Bob Marley, do you like Bob Marley?
@Simpleman123
Yes wonderful friend - I very much like the rhythm of his music.
Where is grace in your believe? We can never do everything Jesus wants us to do. He died on the cross and payed the price there for our sins so that you and I can be righthous before God. I believe the Holy Spirit was with Paul and other when they wrote the Bible. Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God, offered at the cross for our sins. (I wonder a little bit - from where do you get your thoughts about the Bible?)
Peter was of course a Christian - Jesus said Matt. 16.16-18upon this(his belief that Christ is the Son of God) Jesus would build his Church (not the Catholic church of course, but the whole Christian Church). But if you don't believe in what's written then it is not easy to discuss with you.
All the best from Helga.
@Helgafy
I do believe in Jesus, parables of the sower is why I’m still inching closer to him, parables of the talents is how I’m getting by to him, parables of the lost coin is how I stay organize (to a degree) parables of the leaven is how I stay fresh (to a degree).
Parables of the tares and weeds is how I do away with unneeded habits and people who don’t have the best interest for me (to a degree), parables of the prodigal son is how I was able to analyze what was wants from needs, parables of the workers in the vineyard shows those tussles at work are true, parables of the lost sheep is me calling to God to take me back.
I know Jeuses but I keep going astray, too much has been taken from me to fully stand in a 100% degree like all the prophets, my only shnick is, the ordnance of the trinity does not match the prophets, Jesus is the middle man between both Jews and Muslims, and both have a decree of Him in different ways, both are consistent, the Bible’s we know are not consistent enough to make me fully believe in the statements of some of them.
For me my faith will be strengthened when I fully read the KJV, the Ethiopian orthodox version, (which has 20 books Catholics took out) and the Quran. For they tarry in word and scripture. Jesus himself should be shown respect to atleast know the truth about him, not from one mouth piece that comes from main stream churches which also is divided, Paul himself went through the same thing when he said…
1 Corinthians 1:12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
1 Corinthians 1:13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
1 Corinthians 1:14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
1 Corinthians 1:15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.
1 Corinthians 1:16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
1 Corinthians 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
Our words means little unless they are backed by action, deeds and conduct. Jesus the master teacher demands that as well, for once saved always saved is not illustrated by none of the prophets, nor of Jesus or Muhammad. That is blasphemous to Jesus himself, for whether one to believe He died on the cross, as the disciples stated and Paul, Timothy and Luke believed and upheld, or based on Muhammad and the lesser prophets who said Jesus (Isa) ascended to heaven (like Enoch and Elijah did) is not the tarrying debate, it is, did you get the message? And are you able to live it and embody it? That is no easy task either way. And on the latter way in a more practical yet mystical way, (Muslim teachings) their is merit, but in the former way base-line christianity) there is only want of belief and not actually doing what Jesus asked, wanting the blessing but not earning it. For Jesuses laws, statues and commandments are almost no different than prophets. Give a take a few that he sharpened. Jesus was a man who hated injustice, and he died on the the cross (or removed from the pike to ascension as Muslims say) as many millions of wrongfully convicted people were crucified on the cross as well. I do not thank those millions of people the Roman’s crucified, as they had no message, the thing that makes Jesus have my ear and to a degree of steadfastness, is what He wants me/us to do, not just what he went through, (which does matter) but the truth will be shown to those who look, and I’m still looking for the truth on Jesus. I dont have much time, so I hope I find Him and his true ways fast and hang on to him before I lose Him.
The Jews said he is not the son of God, did they get the message? or try to accept it and apply it? Almost entirely no. The Christian’s say he is the son of God, did they get the whole message, not just accept it but are doing it? I cannot say that is a entirely true, and did the Muslims get the message? Yes, they got two, both the Bible as their reproof, and Quran as their base, are they applying what Jesus/Isa said? More than most, for short, I don’t care who is the last messenger/prophet is Jesus or Muhammad, I care about getting the message, and accepting and applying it, which is not easy. But doable with practice, fasting and steadfastness.
@Simpleman123
Hi. In
5 "But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed."
Here it is given a prophety that Jesus Christ should suffer for our sake. I talked to a muslim woman and told her about the cross of Jesus Christ. She said she didn't believe in that a person could take away, pay for our sins.
Also - during the war in Syria, many Christians was beheded of IS-warriers. Why should they do that if they thought Christians were as them.
