We can LIVE

"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet
inwardly we are being renewed day by day" 2 Corinthians 4:16 NIV


This bible verse shows us that we cannot escape from our bodies wasting away in other words we are all dying and it is noticable in our faces and bodies. Some people use creams or have procedures done to prevent their outward appearance from showing signs of aging. Some may embrace their aging features and stay focused on their inner self more. here is no doubt that the media focus more on looks so it has an effect on all of us. God tells us to focus on the impoertant things in life AND that he makes us new each and every day. We may not be able to stop thee process of dying on the outside but we sure can stop the processes of dying on the inside. So when you have had a bad day you made some poor choices... God makes us new EVERYDAY! So start forgiving yourself because the Lord already has and LIVE!

Joyful in troubles

"Enjoy prosperity while you can, but when hard times strike, realize that both come from God. Remember that nothing is certain in this life"  Ecclesiastes 7:14 (NLT) 


We walk with God, not man. When we walk and everything is going well we are happy and joyful. Then something bad may happen slowing our walk down, and then more things happen that make us automatically just sit down on the ground and give up. We are walking with GOD! The King of all Kings, anything is possible and He is there to pick us up. God has created both good and hard times as it says in the scripture above. He creates hard times for us to grow, He wants us to be the best person we can be and in order to achieve that we have to go through difficult seasons in life. Why do we just want to give up when we are in hard times? Our faith is supposed to be unstoppable, indestructible, and not of this flesh. We need to keep walking with God no matter what and realize He is putting us through these hard times for a reason and the rewards are going to be bountiful and glorious.


Let's Pray:
"God I want to walk with You at all times, and I do not want to give up when times are rocky. I want to keep walking with You no matter what. I pray that you give me the strength to never give up and to always trust in You. Amen"
