Good Sunday morning! 2 Timothy 1:7 tells us that God does not give us a spirit of fear and timidity, but a spirit of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. We need to hold these words closely in our hearts, for it seems that this world would have us stay in fear and timidity. Everywhere we look we see advertisements telling us how messed up we are, but God has a different Word for us. That Word is Jesus Christ, and He died for us. Jesus sacrificed His own life not for what we think we might become, but for each of us just as we are now. Is some condition bothering you right now? Know that God hears your prayers and will act in His own perfect time. Rejoice in the Spirit, and live in the light of the Son. One day all tears and sorrows will be washed away in the blood of Jesus. We hold eternity in our hearts so that the transitory nature of now will not defeat us. In His Word, God reminds us that all things happen for the good of those who love Him. I know that you and I love God with all of our hearts, and therefore I know that whatever trials we are enduring right now will work out for our own good. As Pastor Osteen tells us this morning, we are not victims of this world, but victors in Christ Jesus!
God bless you on this fine Sunday morning!
