2011!!!...it's a new year =D...
"...I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto those things which are before. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 3:13-14).
I thank God for His faithfulness over the years and for showing Himself sooo consistent in my life! The older I get and the more my Pastor teaches, the more I realize this thing called life is an ongoing journey. A journey of peaks and valleys, good times and sad times, heartache and pain, joy and peace!!! But nevertheless, it's a journey!!! ...a journey we must finish!! ;)
I've entered 2011 with a boldness like never before!! A boldness to declare the works of the Lord because I am persuaded, convinced that God is who He says He is. I've made a decision to follow Him, obey Him, adore Him, love Him, chase after Him ...all because ...He's given me words of eternal life (John 6:68).
You see friends, when we make our lives available to the Lord, our life no longer belongs to us (Galatians 2:20:Matthew 16:24). THE DECISION has to be made: Follow the things of God or continue to be influenced by the things of the world (Romans 12:1-2).
If you are reading this post, my prayer is that you will seek a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ ...choose today whom you will serve. The Bible declares that we cannot serve two masters...we either hate one and love the other (Matthew 6:24). CHOOSE LIFE!!! =D ...because God cares (Deuteronomy 30:19).
No one is qualified to work for the Lord ...it's only by grace and mercy that we have been given an opportunity to fellowship with Him again. He's not looking for perfect people but people who will willingly submit (born-again: John 3:1-7) their lives to Him.
In this life, there's peace and joy!!...I'm on a journey y'all to FULFILL the plan that God has for my life!! ...I don't boast in myself, yet I boast in the things of God for He IS GREAT, HE IS POWERFUL AND MIGHTY!!! Be encouraged today!!...because...IN CHRIST...WE.ALWAYS.WIN!!!!
On the journey...
