Our past experiences tell us exactly who we were, our present adventures are what we are doing and our future shows us what we would like to do or become. It is not easy being on the Hard Path of life. Trying to overcome our past, hoping in the present and awaiting the future. The said 'Hard path' should not be used to bring ourselves or others down. It should teach us our mistakes, and encourage us to learn from it and show us how to overcome our hard past path. By accepting ones faults, repenting, learning from that past and praying and trusting in God, our past is forgiven and we can now move forward, with God to wards another destined path. The 'Rocky Soil' whereas most of us, were guilty. For example: Say me for instance. Now evolving into a Christian, started reading the Bible but the rest of my family is not. So i go showing of that i'm better than them, because i think i am a Christian. I listen to the Pastor, and prayer at night, but when it comes to living it, i stumble. I read a verse two days ago and i cant remember it today. Its these little things, we all need to look at, and change for the better. If you yourself are guilty of this, remind yourself that God is the judge. Prayer about your faults and your sins and repent, and sooner than later you're throtting the road of salvation with God alongside. You read a verse last week in Church and you're reminding them of it this week. The ever so popular 'Thorny Ground'. God please hear my prayer, please make me rich, please give me a hansome husband with plenty money and a big house. Lord i need a new room, and i've been reading the Bible and it said that if i ask it will be given to me. So Lord please, i pray everday just for you, please give me what i want, Lord please. Amen - The prayer of the unrighteous. Sounds familiar huh. Many of us are guilty of this. We get the idea, that because we read the Bible and Pray everday, God should give us everything we ask him for. WRONG. Very wrong my friend. God wants us to lead a life of peace, understanding, love, forgiveness and righteousness. We read The Holy Bible to learn about God. We pray to thank the Lord. He see's what you need and he will provide it to you. So why pray for what you WANT, instead of waiting for what you NEED. Its a mistake most of us are aware of. Being Holy, understanding and loving towards God means we've been panted on the Best Soil God created. Reading our Bible, praying, worshipping and helping others, is what God wants from us. God deserves all the honor all the glory and all the Praise. He gave you life, he gave you a family to spend time with while on this earth, he gave you everything you need. Never confuse your needs with your wants, ita a path back to the thorny ground, and we dont want to go there, NO. Be a free soul with Jesus, accept that you were on the Hard Path, reached to a point with Rocky Soil and fell into the Thorny Ground, but you are destined to come out and plant yourself on the Good Soil. Stay Blessed. Shalom.
What kind of ground is your heart for receiving the seed of God

is it your belief that religious leaders worldwide are doing enough to demonstrate this new commandment? if you agree or disagree, state ways in which you think more can be done or more is being done. what about religious leaders denominations in your country.
What are you doing as a follower /believer of Christ to live out this new commandment?
