He hung in there!
This is a true story!
I was riding on a bus one day and I had just gotten off of work. I was tired and my feet were hurting really bad. To be honest I just did not feel like being bothered. Suddenly, a little, old black woman came and sat down next to me. She asked me a simple question, “How are you doing?”
I looked her with a “Don’t bother me” attitude. I knew that I was wrong because my mama had taught me better. My mother had always taught me to have the utmost respect for my elders, and if she had of been sitting next to me that day on the bus, she probably would have smacked me dead in the face for being so disrespectful. I answered the little old lady. “Oh! I'm hanging in there; my feet are killing me!” That little, old, black lady looked at me like she was taken back.
She said to me, "Little girl, let me tell you one thing. You look like you are having a rough day, but there was a man that lived over 2000 years ago...

We shall not be defeated
We shall not be defeated. This is the reason why.
We serve a God, who is all powerful; our mutual friend is standing by.
He knows all about us. Jesus is his name.
Although we often fail Him, His mercy remains the same.
He knows all about our lives, from the beginning to the end.
However, He forgives us daily, removing all of our sins.
The devil tries to harm us, continually causing us to fall down.
Nevertheless, Jesus is always right there, picking us up off of the ground.
The enemy tries to rob us of the peace that our God gives.
Even so, we will trust in the Lord, for in Him, we truly live.
As we call on our sweet Jesus, and tears began to flow.
He reminds us That He forgave our sins, a long, long time ago.
We shall not be defeated, for we keep our eyes upon His face,
We know we are victorious, because of His mercy and...

A Question for you
I am sure that just about everyone has heard the song:
Bridge Over Troubled Waters.
It is one of my favorites.
It is a all time classic!
Our lives are filled with goodness, as well as troubles.
Sometimes the winds and the waves of life can overwhelm us.
The song says:
I'm on your side, when times get rough, and friends just can't be found, like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down."
I hear Jesus saying that He has laid his life down, not just for me, but for everyone.
No one took his life, He gave it up voluntarily!
Thank you Lord!
He loves us so much that He allowed them to put nails in his hands and His feet.
He allowed them to mock and beat him.
He allowed them to spit upon him.
Jesus is saying that he loves us in spite of our sins.
He allowed himself to be the sacrificial Lamb.
...Waiting on the Lord.
Wait on the LORD: be of good courage,
and he shall strengthen thine heart:
wait, I say, on the LORD.
Psalms 27:14
If we as Christian’s were to be honest with ourselves,
We would admit that waiting on the Lord is one of the hardest things to do.
We must learn to trust God because He knows what is best for our lives.
He sees the whole picture.
Let me give you an example of what of I am talking about.
Let's say that you ask God for a new car.
At that very moment your prayer has been answered.
You want the car right away,
We'll maybe the Lord sees you getting killed in that
car in the next few days, so rather than giving you
the car when you want it, He will wait to give it to
you until he knows that it is safe.
So saints of God let us thank God for his divine
Wisdom. For He alone knows what
is best for our...
Don't worry!
The Bible shows us in Philippians 4:6. that God clearly commands us not to worry, but still we as Christians do.
The word of God says,
“Do not be anxious [do not worry] about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with Thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
God also tells us that we should not worry about physical things,
such as clothing or food.
He assures us that He knows our needs and He promises to take care of them.
God is not a man that He can tell a lie!
If His word says it, then that's what it means.
There are no ifs, ands, or buts about it!
In Matthew 6:26, in the New Living Translation Bible clearly states,
Look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far more valuable to him than they are?
He promises that he will take care of the birds...
