EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:

Some of us may struggle with being “let down,” especially when our hopes are up. We may fear we have failed yet again. Don’t give up. You have a lifetime ahead…Remember, we all have but this one life to live.

What will you do with what Christ has offered you each and every day? Will you give up easily when you are let down? Pause and think.

No! You are not a failure!

Don’t be down, and neither be discouraged. Will you waste your energy trying to present an exaggerated version of who you really are? Will you strive to save face and pretend you’re not insecure? Remember, flesh gives birth to flesh. Come out of yourself and seek God. Be a new birth in Christ Jesus, and believe that today is the day.

“This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24)

Will you get real, face down your fears, and embrace the God confident, significant life you were made for? Maybe you are already doing so and that is wonderful. But if not, will you live in the knowledge that you are deeply loved, powerfully called, and profoundly equipped to change your world today and every day you live?

I challenge you to wake up every morning from here forward with something like these next few words on your lips:

-“Everyday I’m in your presence, Lord and I’m grateful for this.”

-“All that You have is mine, and I am blessed.”

-“I have more than enough to live abundantly today, thank you, God.”

– “May the power of Your life in me energize all I say and do. Anoint my every choice and every word so when others encounter me, they encounter You; I am Your servant.”

-“I live by faith and I am alive to God forever! Amen.”

May we each hold on tight to God and walk forward by faith in Christ each step as we move into this new day! Every day is a NEW day in Jesus.
