The Story of the 'Two Frogs'
A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.
The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, "Did you not hear us?" The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.
Lessons of the story:
There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through the day. So be careful of what you say. Speak life to those who cross your path. The power of words... it is sometimes hard to understand
that an encouraging word can go such a long way.

NOBODY Loves Me!
Have you felt that nobody loves you? This short message will surely inspire you. We are not alone, GOD is always with us. GOD is our best friend.
PROMISES ARE NOT MEAN TO BE BROKEN IF THE ONE WHO PROMISED YOU IS GOD.
I knew you even before you were conceived.
You may not know me, but I know everything about you.
Even the hairs on your head are numbered.
For you were made in my image.
In me you live and move and have your being.
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.
It is my desire to lavish my love on you.
My plan for your future has always been filled with hope.
I will never leave you nor forsake you.
-God
