When we hear bad news…God is our firm foundation.
When we get the diagnosis…. God is our firm foundation.
When we lose a loved one… God is our firm foundation.
When we are caught off guard… God is our firm foundation.
Instead of comparing ourselves to one another, we can praise God for creating us beautifully in His image.
Let's do less comparing and more celebrating of who God made each of us to be!
Spending time with God and spending time with the Bible are not the same thing. The Bible is the Word of God, crucial to knowing Him, but it’s not God. We can study our Bibles till the 2nd coming & leave God completely out of it. We can grow in facts & never grow a whit in faith.
Remember today, that you are not defined by your successes. You are not defined by your failures and mistakes either. “How Great is the love the father has lavished on us that we should be called Children of God,” and that is what we are! https://t.co/sNdjjhGhAt
I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me. Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:20-23, NIV)
"The events of 9-11-01 should forever remind us that athletes who set records, score touchdowns or hit home runs aren’t worthy of the same title afforded those who lay down their lives for their fellow man." – Lt. Col. Oliver North #NeverForget
