How to have a good life

[jennifer_bloom]

The bible teaches that when you worship God’s wisdom and pursue humanitarian causes, that God adds to you all the riches you require in life.

Where is that in the Bible?

Matthew 6:33

[Debbie14217]

Mathew 6.33... But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you

Matthew 6:33 is one of the great promises of God to meet the needs of all His children. God knows that we always have daily needs either spiritually or physically and has promised throughout scriptures to provide for us if only we can trust in Him. It’s so sad that some people seek everything else before seeking God.

Thanks!

I agree with this.

I always say this to myself. I am a better person because of God and I strive to be better because of God.

The thing is it almost has to be of a genuine or pure intent I kind of think.

I had a serious accident where I couldn't walk for 8 months in Thailand. Anyway I had these three stray dogs that would always go right along with me when I was on crutches and trying to use my leg so I promised them that I would never let them go hungry and I just recognize how cool they were as they knew I was not okay and I know that's what they they realized.

So after I got back working again I just started feeding more dogs they were in a similar situation as those three and eventually up to 40 a day and at my house had 16 that were taken away from certain death basically as over here they still at that time with round them up and illegally send them to China because they lack respect for life. Anyway, eventually and still know it led to me spending half my salary and living quite minimalist as I realized how much suffering you can actually alleviate and the feeling that you get is way more than that of certain luxuries would bring you in the moment.

Okay don't mean to waste your time but it pertains directly to your post.

It's been in the tens of times where I'm down to nothing and I get paid monthly so it could be ten days away, and a new student contacts me to learn English or swimming lessons after school and I'm paid and we are all good. I mentioned this to my friend how it seems to happen almost at the most perfect time and to where I recall it like that and I never ever go without, though I've been hours away from that many of times. It's not often that I get money outside of my salary but every time it's at the perfect time and he referenced the bible as he knows why I do what I do and it wasn't to gain anything although what I gained is such a satisfaction/content life and this wave of energy that I seem to always have and it's a positivite thing where it's like I'm always put in a positive state even though I don't have the things I previously desired. I lived such a roller coaster up and down type of life and I was spending personally twice what I make now and now I spend personally about a third plus plus of my salary and the rest goes to the dogs and what I've been gifted is a life that I never thought was going to be my life. I went into helping the dogs only as an expense but with a genuine mindset of wanting to help those that suffer because after my accident I knew that there was nothing worse than having to suffer.
I I didn't intend for it to teach me so much and to better my life although that's what it became.

I didn't mean to be like long like this I thought it'd be a couple sentences but the reality is that the sentiment of your comment hast been a very true thing in my life and always spins around in my head.
Good Day.

If only having a good life were that easy. How do you define "good?" Being "good" is purely subjective and nobody ever has a "good" life. According to me, if someone has a good life, then they had it all easy. Nothing in life is ever easy though. I'm privileged because my parents are wealthy. They ensure that I receive a good education and get into a good college. . . but does it mean that I have a "good" life? No. My mum is battling with cancer. My parents fight a lot. I grew up with parents who said they hate each other. Is that what a good life is? If everyone believed in God, would their life be easier and hence, "good?" I go to old age homes ever weekend. I donate old clothes that do not fit me anymore (they're washed and in excellent condition). If I do not have any old clothes, I give homemade food, money or sometimes just spend time with them and talk to them. Then why did my mum get cancer? Why do my parents fight?

I'm not questioning your beliefs, I'm just curious.

Everyone has their own challenges.. nobody is going to be "satisfied" with life, especially humans.

[legalboxers]

how about this. what if your tired of "Turning the other cheek" Forgiving thy neighbor.. after they repeatedly trespass against you and do you wrong. How do you forgive that

[jennifer_bloom]

God rewards you after every battle.

@jennifer_bloom still waiting... battle scarred...

[PaganWarrior]

I got something for you... Your religion is a copy ☺ its roots are pagan.

[justsomemale]

It is wild how people still have the argument 😂 when the bible has the oldest manuscripts known to be more credible than any other history book on earth

And explain to me the "pagan" roots i suspect you celebrate more pagan holidays than actual christians

[HeartFullOfGlue]

Is that it? Is this a question or are u giving advice? I can't tell

[justsomemale]

Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

It is a verse literally all we have to do is put God above things and he gives us what our heart needs

[HeartFullOfGlue]

But is that all you need for a good life
You can do all of that but your overall life is still shitty

[BadTameez_DJ]

focus on your work and do not interfere in others life.

[UpdateGloomyNights_]

I want to good life but i can't have it
