Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure-pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.”

Christian = suffering, but with great joy(JAS 1:2). The race is on. We are in a life long race of endurance, embracing the trials, enduring the sufferings, rejoicing in the victories. All the while holding tight to the finish line where we will receive the crown. The reward of a faithful servant, the perfect life where everything will be changed, including ourselves. Thank you Jesus. Bring on what comes my way today. Whether in good or bad times, May I say, blessed be the Name of the Lord. Amen!!
And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it.
Mark 8:34-35 NASB
Slow down, listen for the voice of God, meditate on his word, and act on it. Don’t just think about it. The men in the picture, most definitely acted on it, and came face to face with the Living God.
Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.

The things of this world are temporal, but the things of the LORD are eternal. We find joy when we accept and pursue and shower ourselves in God’s promises.
- We are forgiven,
- We are called sons and daughters,
- We are loved perfectly,
- We have a perfect father,
- We are perfect through Jesus work on the cross and his resurrection,
- We have a helper who guides and directs us
- We have God’s word that always gives us wisdom to walk fearlessly in a lost and decaying world.
- We also have a home that is being prepared for us to spend all of eternity, in a place where there will be no sorrow.

Psalms 63:3-4 NASB
We have so much to be thankful for!
This time of year is a great reminder, to be THANKFUL. Our God has given us new life in Jesus Christ for those that have given their lives to him. Let us choose to remember and share this good news, to all that will listen this season and everyday, we have opportunity.
May the Lord bless each and everyone one of you and may his Holy Spirit fill you, with the reminder of richness of his many blessings, he has given us. May we focus on what we have, not on what we don’t, which is what the world bombards us with, every day.
Now therefore, our God, we thank You, and praise Your glorious name.

Are you being afflicted in your life right now, that is beyond your control? Take courage, since the Apostle Paul understood this well. Listen to his words that are from God, and meditate on them.
And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
