Friendship beginning online

Of course friendship online can blossom into face to face friendship.  Many men and women have found marriage partners online.  I have an online friendship with some Russian ladies and I was able to meet them face to face this summer. However this can be a dangerous situation as some people masquerade behind an imagined identity.  The handsome forty year old whose photo is on screen may turn out to be eighty.  You may be chatting to an embezzler, rapist or murderer. These things need to be considered.  You need to move with caution, but on the other hand life is full of risk. Sometimes you have to take a chance, knowing that you have to live with the consequences. Use your instincts about a situation and draw back if you are not happy.  If we never took risks we would all live in a darkened room never letting anyone meet us.  Of course there are people who live like that and spend all their time on the net feeling cocooned from the pressures of face to face living. The modern world is a strange one full of contradictions.

Life after death

When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.

Persecution of the sick in Britain

The British government, through the benefits system is persecuting thousands of people who are not fit to work, giving them very skimpy benefits. People who are not able to work for health reasons are not able to stand up for themselves. The goverment will answer to God when the suicides happen. People were treated in this way back in the Old Testament. Then exile was the result for the perpetrators. Something equally as bad will happen to those in power today. The churches should be aware that there are people in need and set up soup kitchens for these people.Many are in this position through no fault of their own. They should be helped not looked down upon.

Persevering

Sometimes it's hard to keep going with something we have started. A little setback can get in the way of trying to do something good. I want these thoughts to touch your heart and make you think things through. However as I cannot tell if anyone has read them unless you comment, I get disheartened and feel I am a voice calling in the wilderness. But who can tell who might light upon this page and be really encouraged or helped in their journey of life. If only one person was helped it would all be worthwhile. If you have been helped in any way by this blog do make a comment.I could do with some encouraging too.You can find more thoughts like these at this link A thought for each day
