But it says that thinking of God provides perfect peace and is the reason for survival. It finds God as the strength of the heart and portion forever, so thinking of Him turns gray skies blue and relieves life's intensities.
The poem is a prayer by the speaker to God asking God to break down barriers in his heart and remake him. He acknowledges that God is knocking but he has yet to let God in. He asks God to overthrow and bend him so that he may rise up and stand with God. Though he tries to admit God, he finds no way in due to his own failings and weaknesses. He loves God but is bound to God's enemy. He asks God to divorce and untie him from this enemy so that God may imprison and ravish him, for only then will he be free and chaste.

New Living Translation (NLT)
11 Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to die;
save them as they stagger to their death.
12 Don’t excuse yourself by saying, “Look, we didn’t know.”
For God understands all hearts, and he sees you.
He who guards your soul knows you knew.
He will repay all people as their actions deserve.
James 5:19-20
New Century Version (NCV)
Saving a Soul
19 My brothers and sisters, if one of you wanders away from the truth, and someone helps that person come back, 20 remember this: Anyone who brings a sinner back from the wrong way will save that sinner’s soul from death and will cause many sins to be forgiven.

It then gives examples from the Bible of people overcome with bitterness like Esau, Cain, and Naomi.

The document contains a collection of quotes on various topics such as peace, friendship, life, gratitude, forgiveness, and personal growth. Some of the key messages conveyed are:
- Peace can only be achieved through understanding rather than force.
- It's not what we get from our toil but what we become by it that is most rewarding.
- When we accept ourselves fully, we no longer feel the need to impress others.
- The secret to getting ahead is simply to get started.
Christ placed emphasis on courage, not
cowardice ; on purity, not lust ; on peace, not
discord ; on hope, not despair.
There is one nature common to all these
qualities that Christ emphasized: the nature
of the affirmative, the constructive. The prin-
ciple of emphasis Christ thus would teach us
is '* emphasis on the affirmative."

The boy Solomon saw the palace goldsmith distraught because the king demanded he engrave a ring with a message to help the king remain balanced during times of happiness and hardship.

However, his leap of faith ended badly as he splatted on the table outside of the bowl.

Stories to Live By, part 1 - Discipleship: The Tower and the KingPacific Church
This document discusses the call to discipleship and what it means to follow Jesus. It explains that at the root, sin is worshipping anything other than God. Several Bible passages are cited that call people to have no other gods and not bow down to idols. The document then examines Jesus' call to discipleship, saying his followers must be willing to abandon people, pleasures, and possessions to follow him. It likens discipleship to building a tower or going to war, emphasizing the need to count the cost so as not to fail or face consequences for not being a true disciple of Christ.

" The Lord shall count, when He writeth up the people, that
this man was born in Zion." — Ps. lxxxvii. 6.
I understand the meaning of the passage to
be that the anniversaries of the future will be
held for the righteous. We observe at present
the anniversaries of the intellectually great — of
the poet, of the statesman, of the distinguished
general, of the scientific discoverer. But, without
disparaging these, the psalmist looks forward to a
time when the birthdays observed will be on the
ground of goodness. We hold the natal days of
the heroes of history. What a surprise it would
create if it were to be announced that a com
memorative service was to be held to keep the
centenary of some humble woman historically
unknown !

Muslims have had a long presence in Latin America, with the largest populations found in Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Suriname, and Guyana. Three waves of Muslims immigrated - as African slaves, with the Spanish, and later from the Middle East. While Muslims make up only a small minority, Islam has been practiced in the region for centuries. The religion blended with the cultural influences of native peoples and European colonizers. Today, the values of Islam around family, education, and modesty continue in Latin American Muslim communities of varying sizes across the continent.
This document encourages people to either be a super hero or an everyday hero by modeling heroic behavior for others during challenging times. It suggests that through heroic acts, even if just for one day, people can make a positive difference and not feel overwhelmed by life's difficulties. Alternatively, one can be an everyday hero through regular good deeds that help improve life for others.
This document contains sayings and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad that promote wisdom, knowledge, gratitude, generosity, forgiveness, and mercy. Some of the key messages conveyed are: seek knowledge and repentance daily; those who spread knowledge are doing God's work; the most useful people to others are the best; and true servants of God walk gently and reply to ignorance with peace. The sayings encourage living righteously, cultivating goodness, and showing compassion to others.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
