~ A Story of Two Trees. ~

Here's a story I wrote about two Pine Trees who lived next to each other in a forest. 
One tree was Good, he was Nice and Kind and Always tried to help others. 
If any other tree had something wrong he'd send his Own Nutrients to Help the other trees get Better.

Now the other tree was bad, he followed worldly ways of living.
He was selfish, stubborn and arrogant. He wanted All the Nutrients for himself and didn't care about Anyone else.

One day the wind started to blow and the rain fell heavily.
The bad tree started moaning saying “I don't like this bad weather 
it's horrible, wind and rain, blowing us here and there”,
he went on and on, moan, moan, moan.
The Good tree said “This isn't 'bad weather' the rain waters our roots so we can Grow and the wind blows us to Strengthen our trunks and branches”.

As the wind and rain got stronger the Good tree stood there bending and swaying with the wind. He Enjoyed the Refreshing rain tickling his branches.
He was Enjoying dancing to the 'Rhythms of Nature'.

However the bad tree stood there stubbornly saying “I'm not moving, 
I'm getting wet and I don't like it'” 

Suddenly a Big gust of wind blew and with a Mighty Crack the bad tree fell to the ground, his trunk had Completely Snapped.

The Good tree blew in all directions with the wind.
A few of his dead branches blew off in the strong gusts, but the Good tree was Grateful as he needed to get rid of those branches.

When the storm had passed the Good tree stood still 
all Refreshed from the Lovely rain.

All that was left of the bad tree was a broken stump.
 
He had perished in the storm, 
his stubbornness didn't allow him to be flexible. 
The sad thing is, even when he was alive he was still dead as following worldly ways doesn't bring life.

However the Good tree was Full of Life 
because he knew where Life Truly comes from.
 
He greeted the storm with open branches
 as he knew God his Creator would Strengthen him 
and Protect him through Any storm.

~ Give God Your Best. (Part 5~Listening) ~

Listening is a Very Important part of how You Learn & Grow.

What You Listen to effects how You Think.
How You Think effects how You Behave.

The devil wants You to Listen to Negative Junk that the 'world' Talks about. 

But 'You' Don't have to Listen to it. 
God has Blessed You with Freedom of Choice, which means it's 'Your' Choice what You Listen to.

Worldly people will try to make You Think You're 'Missing Out' on something if You don't Listen to certain things like the News, social media, celebrity gossip, worldly music and the latest trends etc.

But It's a Trick.

The devil wants You to Listen to it, because that's where a Lot of his Followers are doing their Talking.

Switch It Off. Don't let is Corrupt You.

You're Worth More Than That.


Instead Listen to God. He's trying to Communicate with You.

If You feel You can't hear God Communicating to You, it's probably because You're Listening to the wrong things.

My Wife & I 'Wasted' years of our Lives Listening to 'worldly' Junk, and we 'Missed Out' on All the Loving & Wonderful things that God was trying to Communicate to us.

We couldn't hear the 'Still Small Voice of God' because we 'Chose' to Listen to the 'world'. We 'Missed Out' on what is Really Important & Meaningful.

But we No longer Waste our Time 'Listening' to the the 'world', and we've been Truly Amazed by what we can Now hear from God.

It's not a Sound that we hear in our ears, it's Something that comes from Deep Within. Sometimes it's like a Voice Inside. Sometimes it's a Deep Knowing.

The best way I can describe it is that it's like being Truly in Love with someone.
I can't put into words 'How' I know for Certain that I Truly Love my Wife, 
I just Simply Know it.
That's how it is when I hear from God. It's beyond words, I just Simply Know it's from God.

This only comes from being Completely Open to God so that I'm Receptive to Him when He Communicates to me.
It's by being 100% Faithful & Committed to God and 'Only' God.
I Don't want the 'world' anymore, or the 'worlds ways'.
I Only want God, and God's Ways.

Through this Way of being, God has Revealed things to me Personally that I could Never have known by Listening to the 'world'.

There are no words that are good enough to explain the Wonderful feeling it gives me to be able to hear from the Creator of the Universe. 
It's Simply beyond Anything I could ever have Imagined when I used to Listen to the 'world'.

And it's Available to You.

Simply Choose God over the 'world'.

You'll be Truly Amazed at what God will Reveal to You when You are Genuinely Open and Receptive to God, and 'Only' God.

He will Communicate to You in many Wonderful Ways.
'Be Open to them'.

If You think You can't hear from God, then You've been Misled.

If You're Capable of Listening to the Lies & Corruption that the 'world' tells You through it's Many Deceiving ways, and You Chose to Believe it, then You are Certainly Capable of Listening to the Truth that God is trying to Communicate to You, and You Can Chose to Believe it.

Simply be Open to God, like a Flower Opens to the Sun and is Receptive to the Wonderful Power that's transmitted through the air in Unseen Ways, to give Life to the Flower.

Give God Your Best Listening, and be Receptive to the Warmth of His Love, that Gives Wonderful Power to Your Life.

' YOU' are Worth far More than what the 'world' can give You.

Let God Nourish Your Soul.

Let Him 'Set You Free' from the Traps of the 'world'.

And Let God Reveal to You 
the Wonderful and Marvelous Person 
that He Originally Created in ' YOU'.

~ Give God Your Best. (Part 4~Talking) ~

God Blessed You with a Mouth to Talk, and a Mind to Think for Yourself what to Say. 
Let them work Together in Harmony for God's Glory.

'Worldly' people Talk a load of Nonsense. They Dramatise things, Over exaggerate, they Talk Doom & Gloom, Misery & Negative Rubbish.

Yet Non of it comes 'From' God. 
Non of it is 'For' God. 
And Non of it Leads people 'To' God.

And that's exactly why 'worldly' people do it.
The devil has his 'Followers' in the 'world' as 'worldly' people. And the devil uses his Followers to  try to Turn other people Away from God.

The Bible makes it clear that the Tongue is a Powerful Weapon. 
It can be used to Build Up, or to destroy. And the devil knows it.

So he uses his Followers to Talk 'destroying' words.

Then he uses his 'Trickery' to make it 'Seem' like it's ok to Say those things.
He 'Deceives' people into Thinking it's Funny to 'put people down' and call them 'nasty names'. 
The devil 'Tricks' people into Thinking it makes them feel good to 'moan and complain', to go in a rage, and to gossip about people.

But if You're Honest, You know that Non of that makes You feel Good. 
It just makes You feel Miserable. And that's the devils Plan.
He wants You and Everybody else to be 'depressed'. 

Simple Solution. Don't Do It.

Don't Talk 'Negative Nonsense'.

You Don't need to 'Repeat' the Junk that the' world' speaks.

'The words of the world, can Stop at You'.

Avoid Talking Doom & Gloom. Don't Exaggerate situations. And Don't Dramatise things.

Don't be like the 'world' by calling people nasty names and putting them down. Stay Firmly away from gossiping about people and spreading lies.
And Don't moan or complain.

Make a Clear & Firm Decision in Your Mind Not to be a Part of the devils Plan of Talking 'worldly Junk'

Instead Talk the Truth. 
Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

Talk in the Wonderful Ways of Jesus.

Speak Positive & Inspiring words.

Encourage people, and Talk about Happy things.

Talk about the Loving Lifestyle of Jesus.

The 'Joy of Jesus' is an Everlasting Fountain that Never runs dry.

Which means there's Always Something Good to Talk about.

Give God Your Best Talking.
