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

Are you going through the motions with God…….Don’t think he doesn’t know.   He desires relationship and devotion, but hypocrisy he will deal with.   Read the rest of the chapter to see.  May we humble ourselves before you LORD.  You are a gracious God who Loves us.  You care enough to discipline us, when we elevate ourselves above you, to bring us back in the fold.

Why do you do good.  Is it to please men, and elevate yourself, or is it to please God?  There is a HUGE difference.  One is for your own self gratification, and one is for submitting to God.

The Eternal and Holy God, in humble fashion, came to live among us.  Imagine, the Creator, caring so much, that he would not only live among us, but would suffer and die, so we might live.

And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Love conquers a multitude of sins.

Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
