It also advises praying for yourself to be satisfied with what you have, and that love does no harm to neighbors. Pray for the jealous person, ask God to love them, and pray for yourself to be satisfied and not harm others.
This short document conveys the message that while every day may not necessarily be positive or good in its entirety, there is always something positive or good to be found within each day if one looks for it. Even on days that seem less than ideal overall, a person can find at least one good or positive aspect to appreciate.
In every trial or challenge, you need to have the proper perspective. As a Christian, one has to re-frame all experiences according to the God we serve. God may not have been the author of our situation but he will use it to accomplish his will.
Practical Religion Chap 14 The Best FriendScott Thomas
Jesus Christ is the best friend one can have according to the passage. He is a friend who sticks closer than a brother and who came to save, abolish death, ransom, and redeem sinful mankind who are utterly unable to save themselves. As the perfect friend, Jesus is mighty and powerful with the ability to pardon, convert, and preserve. He is also loving and affectionate with a love that surpasses knowledge. Additionally, Jesus is wise and prudent, having perfect wisdom and omniscience, and never makes mistakes in how he helps friends. He has proven himself as a tried and true friend over thousands of years, never changing, abandoning, or limiting himself based on anyone's circumstances. The passage exhorts

This event discusses the importance of friendship and how friends can help us through lonely times. It will explore stories of Rabbis who felt so lonely they prayed for death, and talk about what it means to be a good friend and how to welcome friendship in life. The event takes place on Monday Nov 16 from 8-9:30PM in Brookdale Rm E101 and will be led by Mechon Hadar Fellow David Yedid.
This document appears to be a quiz on gospel topics, containing multiple choice questions from books of scripture including the Book of Mormon, New Testament, Doctrine and Covenants, Old Testament, and Pearl of Great Price. The questions cover people, places, and events from the scriptural texts and increase in difficulty across easy, average, and difficult rounds.
POSITIVE SELF TALK tells you what to say when your mind talks to you, and what to say when you talk to your mind. You have a lot of things to discuss with your mind, and POSITIVE SELF TALK tells you what you should be talking about.
This document discusses how Jesus showed himself to be a friend of sinners through his sacrifice, sharing, salvation, and strategy. It notes that Jesus' sacrifice was vicarious, vicious, voluntary, and victorious. It also explains that Jesus shared his lessons, love, life, and legacy. Additionally, the document states that through Jesus, believers are confirmed, chosen, called, and comforted. Finally, it outlines that Jesus' strategy was not to critique, condemn, compromise, or confuse the world, but rather to save it through his sacrifice on the cross.
This document discusses how to fight stress and toxic thoughts using intention, projection, and energy. It argues that we often compare ourselves to others through envy and projection, not seeing our true selves. We are advised to find the beauty within ourselves rather than envy others, practice gratitude and kindness, reflect daily, and project light instead of darkness. Frequent repetition of positive thoughts can help create beliefs of abundance rather than lack.
You don't get harmony when everybody sings the same noteAudrey Brown
This document discusses the importance of diversity and inclusion. It notes that while people often categorize and judge others, true harmony comes from embracing differences. The passage encourages readers to see beyond surface labels and understand that all people can grow. Though the task of overcoming biases seems overwhelming, taking small steps like relying on and understanding each other can help create a just community where all find their place in the "great song of life."
You can show Jesus to others through your actions and words. When you are kind, polite, and considerate in how you treat others, it reflects Jesus and encourages people to learn about His loving nature. You can also bring Jesus into people's lives by praying for them and showing God's hope and love through your example.
This document discusses the nature of love from a Catholic perspective. It begins by explaining that God freely created humans to share in his blessed life of love, truth, beauty, and joy. Just as people enjoy a good movie and invite others to see it, God wants to invite people to share in his abundant life. It then contrasts love, defined as willing the good of another, with lust, which is a disordered desire for sexual pleasure. Love requires fully giving of oneself for another's ultimate good, while lust is selfish. The document provides many quotes on the demanding but joyful nature of true love and gives daily examples of loving others.
China in 2011 saw significant political and social events, including:
1) President Hu Jintao visited the U.S. while Vice President Biden visited China.
2) China showed support for victims of Japan's earthquake and supported North Korea after Kim Jong-il's death.
3) The Chinese government cracked down on dissent around the Jasmine Revolution and detained Ai Weiwei, while censorship of charities and environmental protests increased.
This document uses a food metaphor to describe how praising Jesus brings happiness. It encourages tasting the joy of God's love when praising Him, like tasting flavorful food. God promises to fill the heart with joy through praise. The child expresses thanks to Jesus for bringing contentment and happiness.
Ben Vickers has worked for 13 years providing security for high-profile Israeli events involving Prime Ministers and other dignitaries. The Tourism Ambassador to North and South America observed Ben's professionalism managing security in New York, Los Angeles, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, London, and elsewhere.

The document is a collection of quotes and passages by David Boothby on the themes of life, dreams, and finding purpose and meaning. It discusses how life's journey can take unexpected turns but also provide unexpected benefits. It emphasizes living for today, following your dreams, making a positive impact on others through words and deeds, and finding joy in simple pleasures and connections with loved ones. The document encourages living passionately, taking chances, and going far in exploring what life has to offer.
This document discusses how flowers bloom in different places and relax people. It also lists different types of flowers and their meanings, including Oriental Lily for majesty, roses for love, daisies for friendship, lilies for fidelity, and tulips for splendid beauty.
The document is the lyrics to the song "We Are The World" written by various artists to raise money for humanitarian aid. It features many famous singers singing about how the world must come together to help those in need, as there are people suffering and dying without help. The lyrics emphasize that we are all part of one family and the only thing we need is love to make a better world.
The document discusses the relationship between grace and truth. It argues that grace, which is undeserved acceptance and love, can never violate or lower standards of truth or holiness. Both grace and truth are embodied in Jesus Christ. The gospel must be about both grace and truth, not just one or the other, in order to bring people to Jesus. Christians should aim to make the gospel accessible, not just acceptable.
Imagine living free from the admixture or adhesion of anything that soils, adulterates or corrupts. That's the definition of purity. A divine wisdom suggests a pure heart restructures everything including what we see when we look at life and others.
