Contrary to popular belief in the " world", there is an instruction manual for life.
It is called the Bible. Specifically, the book of Proverbs in the Old Testament, and countless verses in the New Testament provide timeless wisdom for living our everyday lives.
There are times in this life when we feel helpless and hopeless, that things will never turn around. It is part of the human condition to feel this way at times, but we do ourselves or no one else any good if we allow ourselves to wallow in these feelings.
There is no shame in getting knocked down, as long as we don't stay down.
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.
Philippians 3: 12
Not that I have already attained it, or have already become perfect, but I press on in order that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.
Those words are simple to understand and yet so profound. In all the struggles of life, we often feel as if we can be of no use to God or others due to our own shortcomings and failures of the past.
These words are about putting aside what others may think of us and reaching out to God to overcome this journey ...we call life.
We will see you Sunday, and, I'm Just Sayin'.
