Its hard to tell who your real friends are at times, but when something monumental happens, good or bad, your true friends will always be there to support, embrace, encourage, and kick you in the nuts if you do somthin stupid. Friends are what can make you and also what can break you. When the time to make a decision on something that can really alter your life: choosing a college, drinking alcohol under aged, or choosing the right marriage partner, it may not always be the easiest thing, which is why we should take advise from our best friend...Jehovah. He has given us not only his written word but thousands of publications that deal with every sort of problem and situation imaginable, and have the best advice that there is. If you've made a big decision, or mistake and havent
1. Prayed until you breakdown in tears
2. Consulted every bit of scriptural material and info on the matter
3. Talked to the elders about it
Your probably making either a bad decision or are going to regret it, or make it a lot harder on yourself than it would be if you do take those things into consideration.
The answer you find and the advice you hear may not always be the easiest to accept but the fact of the matter is that if you dont have Jehovah first in your life Nothing is going to work out as easy as it would if you did. Im not saying that life is going to be trouble free but by developing a true "balls to the wall" loving relationship with God, your life and the decisions you make will be blessed.
No one can half ass their way through this system and I'm no exception, but Im working on my self and had to go to the elders recently to get some things straightened out. It was the hardest and scariest thing ever, but now i can make my way to serving Jah whole souled. They helped me through it because they knew what they were talking about, and had Jah's backing.
Making the right choice is never easy, Especially if you dont have a tight relationship with Jehovah.
Personal friends may not always know the exact thing to do or say but if they have a better knowledge of the truth and bible principals, and apply things they've read in publications to help a true friend in need of advice, they know more than someone who thinks "they know 100% what theyre doing..."
Real talk I love all of my friends to death and dont want to see any of them make wrong choices..All of them, not just the ones who think im talking specifically to them... Although my next postings may be more blunt and to the point and I dont really care if Im viewed as a nosy jerk because all of my reasoning will come from the scriptures and the publications that the brothers have put out to help every single one of us to keep us from messing up our lives, to get us through this system and, most important to strengthen our personal, individual relationships with the all knowing, best decision making, most loving and forgiving God Jehovah.
I pray that no matter what decisions we make that we do it with our spirituality in mind and not just do things just because they are right in front of us and look good at the time.
Peace, Love, And All Of The Above!
