Foolish

We are foolish and innocent, but with God's light, we can be wise. doing something bad or inconsiderate is much easier than doing good which is why we must put effort into being good.

We should avoid the company of hypocrites and bad influences. No matter how much we detest one thing, they might be able to convince us simply because they are the people we gather with. It is disturbing that a person can change his views quickly with proper persuasion.

If we care too much about our physical characteristics, we won't notice what's inside us, what's inside us is what matters. the outward show passes quickly with time, but what matters most is what's in our hearts which is something that doesn't pass quickly with time, it passes when we change our views it can be for the better, or it can be for worse.

We must be modest. everything we have came from God and not by our own means.

God gives us lots of blessings, we must focus on Him rather than our problems, with Him, all our worries will all seem little and we won't be burdened by it because God is working in us.

The power in praise is not changing our circumstance but it changes us.

Co-work with God

We are weak because we are humans, and in our weakness, that's where God's power is most obvious. We can't really do anything if it weren't from God's grace. Even every beat of our heart is God's grace. We must not let other things occupy what we must offer to the Lord.

We must love God diligently. I have noticed how much people rely on God only because they need His grace on that time and they don't really put their hearts into it. They only mutter some pleas then leave for a more urgent business...

Also the things regarding ignorance "God judges us based on what we know" and a child can easily be excused from sin simply because they didn't know. A person can know a lot of things and some chooses not to know. Some people already know that it might end up wrong, that there are consequences yet refuses to listen bringing up the excuse, "I didn't know!" one kind of ignorance is not knowing because he wasn't aware that there is such a thing or that there might be consequences, the other one is choosing not to know when the book lies open and he refuses to look at it. this one can cost, we should learn in order to know what is right since we were given knowledge of right and wrong.

But still, some people simply chooses to pretend not to know to avoid blame.

What we have, we must offer to God, for these are the things He let us have to help us and to let us help others.
