Good morning and Happy Sunday šāļø
Never allow fear control your life. Given we have one life to live on earth without unlimited do-overs, letās make it count by thinking beyond ourselves. Our Founding Fathers risked everything to break free from the yoke of Great Britain. What, if anything, are you willing to risk?
āDonāt fear those who kill the body but are not able to kill the soul; rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Arenāt two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Fatherās consent. But even the hairs of your head have all been counted. So donāt be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.ā Matthew 10: 28-31 (CSB).
Power comes from faith in the existence of a Supreme Being who knows your name and situation. Be bold and courageous remembering to whom you belong. #faith #prayer #God #Christian #Jewish #America #Israel
My great-grandson helps to keep
me young. Hezekiah proved it again at Legoland. We were walking past the Lego Stars wallāthe one with all the celebrity namesāwhen this 11-year-old marched up to an employee pointed to me and said:
āSheās a talker. People recognize her every time we travel. She should be on your wall.ā š
I just laughed. Hezzie has become a PR agent.
@LEGOLANDFlorida if youāre listeningā¦ consider this my official application.
Hezekiah, you will always be my number one fan.
Now you tell meāwhatās the boldest or funniest thing one of your kids or grandkids has ever said about you?
Drop it in the comments. I read every one. ā¤ļø #grandchildren #grandkids
Ponder the āred letterā words of Jesus posted below:
āDo not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
For I have come to turn āa man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-lawāa manās enemies will be the members of his own household.ā
āAnyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.ā
Matthew 10: 34-37 (NIV).
Following Jesus is going to cost you. We donāt get a better deal than the master. Letās honor Him with boldness and courage.
Every Believer is struggling with something. Perfection is not ours on earth, but we still celebrate our knowledge and relationship with the King. š
āTherefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, āMy grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.ā Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christās power may rest on me. That is why, for Christās sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.ā
2 Corinthians 12: 6-10 NIV).
