EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
 Who we are and what we possess are two of the targets the enemy aims for again and again.
If he can get us to doubt, he can trip us up. If he can get us thinking where poor though we’re really rich, we’ll scratch and claw our way through life, and we’ll live anxious and afraid like we’re without hope.
And… if he can convince us we lack something good, he’ll be able to tempt us to live frantic and hurried lives, never satisfied, always wanting more. It’s a shame, but it’s for real.
 We’ll skim life’s surface and miss its depths. We’ll live jealously and focused on vanishing lives and forsake the whole reason we are blessed; because of God and His love to love us and His love which shines in and through us.
 Jesus promises that those who trust Him lack no good thing. (see Psalms 34:10),
These aging earthen vessels carry the treasure of heaven within. Ponder the significance of that truth every single day. A powerful verse to let soak into your soul is Ephesians 1:3. “All praise to God, the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are United with Christ.”
One more…
 “We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great Power is from God, not from ourselves.”
 (2 Corinthians 4:7)
Praying you are blessed by reading these scriptures today.💕
