As children our parents would tell us what was good for us and what was bad for us. They would say things like eat your vegetables, drink your seven glasses of water, study and finish school. It was their job to prepare us for the outside world and give us the proper training needed to survive in the outside world. They made sure we ate three times a day,made sure we did our homework, made sure we got our proper amount of sleep, church on Sundays and taught us other valuable things about life. Life was so simple then, because they did everything for us and took care of us. But now we are adults and we have to take care of ourselves. Some of us now that they are older ignore those trainings that our parents have instilled in us. My mother and father would always say things like this, you are only good as the company you keep or they would say you are what you eat. Back then I could not understand what they meant and now I am older, I understand the principles and bases of their training. They were right you are what you eat, if you eat the wrong foods, it make either make you fat or if you ate good things then you would be healthier. They were also right about the other things too, you are only good as the company you keep, if you hang around negative, unsuccessful and people that do not want anything out life, chances are you will end up just like them. But if you hang around successful people, positive people, christian people and people that want something out of life, chances are you will be a success and your life will be on its way of having true fulfillment.

Well now that we are adults those same principles apply, but in a different way. Because now we are parents and grandparents, our children and younger people look up to us. We have to be the ones to set the example and we are the ones others look up too. I was asked a question not too long ago by a friend, they said well now that I am older who do I look to, guide me and teach me? They would say I still need help and training , so who can I look up to now? Who is it that can tell me what is good for me or what is bad for me? Then I said there is only one that has all the tools, wisdom and has the ability to train you as an adult and that's Jesus Christ. Jesus is the answer to every question and with him your life will improve. He will guide your future and open the right doors so that you will be successful. If your company is with Jesus, you know that you are in good hands and your life will always be a blessing. You will have a mentor for life and the best teacher the world has to offer , the son of God Jesus Christ.

Have a blessed night,

Charles

John 3:2-3

He came to Jesus at night and said, Rabi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him. In repy Jesus declared, I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.
