Most people tend to think only in the very small world of themselves...
** Self centeredness is the main cause of most all the world's grief!
Which due to the limits of life -
you have few resources or real opportunities.
The Bible tells us we see things incompletely now and that God's
thoughts are not our thoughts.
Jesus in Matthew 5:43 is helping his hearers to
delve more deeply into the need to love others.
To "see" that even loving your neighbor is not enough.
On a deeper level, we need to love even our enemies.
This reveals more about God than anything else.
unseen Spiritual World beyond; than in this sighted physical world!
Future Glory Romans 8:18-25
…24 For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen
is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees?
25 But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance
we wait eagerly for it.
26 In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
Romans 8:18-25
The sufferings of the saints strike no deeper than the things of the time,
last no longer than the present time, are light afflictions, and but
for a moment compared to Eternity.
How vastly different are the sentence of the word and the sentiment
of the world, concerning the sufferings of this present time! Indeed
the whole creation seems to wait with earnest expectation for the period
when the children of God shall be manifested in the glory prepared for them.
** There is an impurity, deformity, and infirmity, which has come upon
the creature by the fall of man. There is an enmity of one creature to
another. And they are used, or abused rather, by men as instruments
of sin.
Yet this deplorable state of the creation is in hope. God will deliver it
from thus being held in bondage to man's depravity. The miseries of
the human race, through their own and each other's wickedness,
declare that the world is not always to continue as it is.
{This earthly life is temporary!}
{Then} Our having received the first-fruits of the Spirit {The Christian Existence}, quickens our desires, encourages our hopes, and raises our expectations.
{Yet} Sin has been, and is, the guilty cause of all the suffering that
exists in the creation of God. It has brought on the woes of earth;
it has kindled the flames of hell. As to man, not a tear has been shed,
not a groan has been uttered, not a pang has been felt, in body or mind,
that has not come from sin.
This is not all; sin is to be looked at as it affects the glory of God.
Of this how fearfully regardless are the bulk of mankind!
Believers have been brought into a state of safety; but their comfort
consists rather in hope than in enjoyment. From this hope they
cannot be turned by the vain expectation of finding satisfaction in
the things {of this world} of time and sense.
We need patience, our way is rough and long; but He {Jesus} that
shall come, will come, though he seems to tarry. His appearance is near!

8 Worst Health Mistakes Women Make
Nearly
three-quarters of U.S. women say they try to live a healthy lifestyle
by eating right, taking supplements, exercising regularly and engaging
in other proactive habits to promote better health.[i]Yet, even health-savvy women may be inadvertently doing themselves harm by engaging in these common health mistakes.
Ladies, Are You Making These 8 Top Health Mistakes?
8. Drinking as Much Alcohol as the GuysThe health effects of alcohol can impact women more strongly than men because they not only typically weigh less but also have less body water, which means the alcohol is less diluted in your body. If you do drink alcohol, it should be done in moderation, which means no more than one drink a day for women.
One drink is defined as:
- 12 ounces of regular beer
- 5 ounces of wine
- 1.5 ounces of spirits (80-proof)
Slinging a heavy purse over your shoulder causes your muscles, joints and ligaments to function under increased stress and strain, which can lead to muscle imbalances over time — a key cause of back and neck pain.
6. Living in High Heels
You may think they make your legs look slimmer or feel they boost your confidence, but high heels change the way you walk, putting additional stress on your knees. It can even increase your risk of joint degeneration and knee osteoarthritis.[ii]
5. Wearing an Improperly Fitting Bra
This is extremely common and can lead to headaches, poor posture and, frequently, back pain, especially if you have large breasts. “Red flags” that signal an improper fit include:
- Breasts spilling out of the cups (a larger cup size is needed)
- The bra riding up your back (you need a smaller band size)
- Digging in at the shoulders or armpits (wider straps and a larger cup size may help)
- Sagging bust (look for shorter straps or a more supportive style/fabric)
- Improperly positioned underwire (the wire should be completely under your breasts)
The average woman aged 30-60 sleeps less than seven hours a night during the workweek. Women are also more likely than men to have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep, as well as to suffer from daytime sleepiness.[iii] You may be tempted to stay up late trying to add extra hours to you day, but making sure you get the sleep you need will improve your concentration, performance at work and help you avoid chronic disease and weight gain.
3. Not Knowing the Signs of a Heart Attack in Women
Men may be more likely than women to experience the stereotypical heart attack symptoms of chest pain or pain in the arms or shoulder. Women often experience shortness of breath, weakness and fatigue during an attack, and may also have pre-heart attack symptoms for up to a month before, including unusual fatigue, shortness of breath and sleep disturbances.[iv]
2. Not Lifting Weights
Many women are fans of aerobic workouts but may shy away from lifting weights out of fear that it will “bulk up” their muscles. In truth, strength training is an important aspect of fitness that can help you tone your muscles, improve your bone density and build muscle, a key way to burn more fat. And you needn’t worry about turning into the Incredible Hulk; most women are not genetically designed to develop large muscles.
1. Emotional Eating
Women
often turn to food for comfort in times of stress or sadness, and
almost always that food (cheese fries, ice cream, chocolate … ) is far
from healthy. Women who are feeling burned out at work or unhappy with
their jobs are especially likely to engage in emotional eating, but just
about any type of anxiety can trigger it.If you know you often succumb to emotional eating or any kind of food cravings, keep a bottle of ThinMist handy (such as in your purse or in a desk drawer at work), as this all-natural blend works at the cellular level to regulate your blood sugar levels and stop cravings immediately.
