If we allowed ourselves to be that full of Christ I wonder what the result would be? We can do it if we allow ourselves to abide in Christ, though it does take discipline. Let's go ahead and do it!
Why would anyone want to be anywhere without God? Particularly during the storms of life that come, God's peace is powerful when we are in His presence!
Yes, with God's help you can change your ending and finish really, really well.
Today can be a fresh start, leave the past in the the mist of history, as Paul said, "forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead." (Phil. 3:13 MEV)
Somehow the enemy makes sin appear enticing UNTIL it becomes a historical fact in a person's life. Then, the reality of what sin is, what sin does, becomes clear.
Thankfully, there is rescue, Jesus the gift of God!

The great thing about harvest is that it is far greater in terms of produce than what was sown.
Never give up on doing good! An amazing harvest IS coming.
Let's move forward in confident faith in God so others will be encouraged to follow trusting God for victory! As Hudson Taylor said, Impossible, Difficult, Done! All because of God.
As repeatedly seen throughout the Bible, the key is to remain faithful in our trust and dependence on Him, and then to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Let your past stay in your history book. It cannot be changed. You don't need to listen to the recording of the enemy.
Decide to live and walk closely with Christ and observe how He transforms your future by the power of His Spirit.
The lies of the enemy, the false wisdom of the age, and the doubts of unbelievers do not change this eternal fact. Yes, Jesus saves and transforms people. He works miracles in situations. He is a shelter in times of storm.
Like the great song declares: "Jesus Saves!"
The truth: God transforms lives and situations! Yes, the best is yet to come.
The lie: The enemy declares our present situation is our permanent situation and will never change.
The solution: Choose to live in Christ and in God's presence.
Prayer brings us boldly into the presence of God. Given this, believers should be even more desirous to pray. Don't let our spiritual enemy or the things of this world hinder you from effectual prayer.
God enables believers to faithfully fulfill His command! Really, isn't that amazing. "For" is stronger than "because" in the passage.
For God WILL BE WITH obedient believers wherever they go! God's promise of His presence.
@robketterling Agree! What makes it even more confusing to those who do not yet know Jesus is he is also a Methodist pastor. Really, even more blasphemous and dangerous.
Freedom to serve beyond the world's expectations! What is wonderful about sharing God's love is that it is not dependent on finances or wealth, position or education, geographic location, health, or even age. All believers ARE ABE to share the love of God!
