God's Love Letter

My child,


You may not know me but I know everything about you. I know when you sit down and when you rise up. I am familiar with all your ways. Even the very hairs on your head are numbered for you were made in My image. In me you live and move and have your being for you are My offspring. I knew you even before you are conceived. I chose you when I planned Creation. You were not a mistake for all your days are written in My Book. I determined the exact time of your birth and where you would live. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. I knit you together in your mother's womb and brought you forth the day you were born.

I have been misrepresented by those who don't know me. I am not distant and angry, but am the complete expression of love and it is My desire to lavish My love on you simply because you are My child and I am your Father. I offer you more than your earthly father ever could for I am the perfect Father. Every gift that you receive comes from My hand for I am your provider and I meet all your needs.

My plan for your future has always been filled with hope because I love you with an everlasting love. My thoughts toward you are countless as the sand on the seashore and I rejoice over you with singing. I will never stop doing good to you for you are My treasured possession. I desire to establish you with all My heart and all My soul. And I want to show you great and marvelous things.

If you seek me with all your heart, you will find me. Delight in me and I will give you the desires of your heart for it is I who gave you those desires. I am able to do more for you than you could possibly imagine for I am your greatest encourager.

I am also the Father who comforts you in all your troubles. When you are brokenhearted, I am close to you. As a shepherd carries a lamb, I have carried you close to My heart. One day, I will wipe away every tear from your eyes and I'll take away the pain you have suffered on this earth. I am your Father and I love you even as I love My son, Jesus. For in Jesus, My love for you is revealed. He is the exact representation of My being. He came to demonstrate that I am for you, not against you. And to tell you that I am not counting your sins Jesus died so that you and I can be reconciled. His death was the ultimate expression of My love for you. I gave up everything I loved that I might gain your love. If you receive the gift of My son Jesus, you receive me and nothing will ever separate you from My love again.

Come home and I'll throw the biggest party heaven has ever seen. I have always been a Father and will always be a Father. My question is; Will you be My child?

I am waiting for you.




Love your Dad,
Almighty God

Chocolate : Poison to Dogs

Is chocolate really poisonous to dogs?

You may have heard people say that chocolate will kill dogs? Does that make sense? If I can eat chocolate, why can't my dog?

Dogs and people are different in lots of ways. For example, dogs can run around on asphalt/cement at noon time in their bare feet and it doesn't cause them any problems. People can run around barefooted at noon time for 30 seconds or so before it hurts. There are lots of differences like that between dogs and people.

It turns out that, for dogs, a chemical in chocolate called theobromine is the source of the problem. Theobromine is similar to caffeine . According to research, theobromine is toxic to a dog when it ingests between 100 and 150 milligrams per kilogram of body weight.

Different types of chocolate contain different amounts of theobromine: It would take 20 ounces of milk chocolate to kill a 20-pound dog, but only 2 ounces of baker's chocolate or 6 ounces of semisweet chocolate. It is not that hard for a dog to get into something like an Easter basket full of chocolate eggs and bunnies and gobble up a pound or two of chocolate. If the dog is small, that could be deadly.

It turns out that chocolate poisoning is actually not as unusual as it sounds. For a human being, caffeine is toxic at levels of 150 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. That's the same as for dogs! Humans generally weigh a lot more than dogs, but small children can get into trouble with caffeine or chocolate if they consume too much of it. Infants are especially vulnerable because they don't eliminate caffeine from the bloodstream nearly as quickly as adults.

Attention Guys : Ten (10) Habits That Improve Your Appearance

(1) Consider exercise non-negotiable

The No. 1 way to improve your appearance is to get fit. Start thinking of exercise as a must-do item on your to-do list and you'll slow down the aging process, get better-looking skin, increase your confidence, and on top of everything, you'll feel amazing. Engage in physical activity in the morning, and you'll benefit further by burning more fat and kicking off your day with a feel-good endorphin rush. An early sweat session will also boost your circulation, so you'll have clear, bright skin all day long -- a potent sign to women that you're a virile, healthy bedmate.

(2) Drink eight glasses of water a day

Staying hydrated keeps you healthy and reduces the appearance of wrinkles. Sipping water slowly rather than pounding it also makes it easier for your body to absorb. Additionally, be mindful of your caffeine and alcohol intake. Both substances are diuretics, meaning they cause your body to release water, which can translate into pasty, dry skin and more visible fine lines. Offset your consumption of these beverages by drinking an 8oz glass of water for each caffeinated or alcoholic drink you indulge in.

(3) Get eight hours of sleep

Those seven to nine hours that you should be spending unconscious every day are when your body repairs itself. Skimping on this vital restorative process makes your entire system run less efficiently, and the signs of sleep deprivation show up on your face first. In fact, all it takes is a few nights without enough sleep before you start looking like a haggard zombie. On the other hand, prioritizing sleep will guarantee you appear refreshed and alert and it will also decrease puffy eyes and unflattering dark circles.

(4) Avoid sugar and simple carbs

A diet that's high in lean protein, vegetables, slow-digesting grains, and healthy fats is one that will reduce bloating in your belly and decrease any puffiness in your face. Furthermore, steering clear of sugar and simple carbs will go a long way toward eliminating acne or keeping it at bay as junk food, even in moderate amounts, is a common cause of troubled skin.

(5) Cleanse, moisturize, apply eye care cream, and use lip balm every morning

A basic skin care routine is an absolute must for improving your appearance. Start with a mild cleanser, preferably one with a 2% concentration of salicylic acid to help zap zits. Follow it up two to three times a week with an exfoliant to really get the gunk out of your skin and slough off dead cells. Next, apply a moisturizer that contains a broad-spectrum SPF to replenish your skin's moisture levels and prevent aging related to sun damage. Then dab on an eye cream, working from the outside in toward the center of your face, to hydrate and keep the thin skin in this region supple. Finally, slick on a lip balm with an SPF of 15 to keep your lips soft, smooth and kissable.

(6) Shave after showering

Steaming up your bathroom is a bit like creating your own personal sauna. This humid environment will open up your pores, make your facial hair softer and plumper, and prime your follicles, all of which will reduce your chances of developing ingrown hairs and experiencing razor burn. If you don't have time for a shower, create a hot compress by soaking a face towel in hot water and then applying it to your face for two to three minutes.

(7) See a barber every three to six weeks

Keeping your hair trimmed is an easy way to ensure that you always look polished. It's also typically inexpensive and quick. Once you've found a barber you like, stick with him so that he'll always get it right when you come in for a cut.

(8) Floss every day and whiten teeth every six months

For a more attractive smile, nothing beats regular flossing as it gets rid of any unsightly buildup between your teeth. Take things one step further by using a drugstore whitening kit, which will do an excellent job of noticeably, but not freakishly, lightening the color of your teeth. Just make sure you whiten no more than once every six months or you could develop sensitive gums. For a week after whitening, avoid consuming products that could stain your teeth, such as red wine, coffee and soy sauce, and brush your teeth as soon as you can if you slip up.

(9) Shampoo no more than once a day

Ideally, you should wash your hair no more than a few times a week as over-shampooing can strip your hair of its natural oils, leaving it dull and brittle. If you're a regular exerciser, however, you can't get around lathering up on a daily basis, so make sure to follow up with an intensive conditioner. For men who can't get morning workouts in, skip the shampoo session if you shower in the a.m. and suds up only after you exercise later in the day.

(10) Change your bedsheets

Dirty pillow cases are a prime reason for breakouts, so switching your sheets once a week will reduce your skin's contact with pore-clogging grime. It's particularly important to lay out some fresh bedding if you frequently have a female in your bed, as residue from women's makeup and hair products can get left behind on your sheets and subsequently be transferred to your face.
