God is Love...

There is a reason that of these thing love is the greatest. That is because sometimes when going through and dealing with life all you have left is love, and to you that may be a bad place to be, but to me, it is not because God is love and what better thing to have left then God in any situation!

Purpose in the day...

" Just because today is not perfect, does not mean that it does not have purpose in it!"

Self-sufficiency

(Judges 7:2) The Lord said to Gideon, The people who are with you are too many for Me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel boast about themselves against Me, saying, My own hand has delivered me...God reduced their number from 32000 to 300. With an army this vastly outnumbered, there could be no doubt that the victory was from God. Learn to let him fight your battles... Self-sufficiency is a handicap when if causes us to believe that we can do it in our own strength. Like Gideon (Judges 7:2), we must recognize the dangers of fighting in our own strength. We can be confident of the victory against life's challenges and temptations only if we put our confidence in God and not ourselves.

Purpose v. Vision

Your vision comes to pass when your purpose is being fulfilled! Stop focusing on the vision He gave you and instead focus on the purpose he put you here for, only then will you see the vision.

Thankful

One can not say too much about how thankful I am to God. But we can learn a lesson from those who are not. Find Godly ways to express your appreciation when someone does something for you. Psalm 92 says it is good to give the Lord thanks. We should always be grateful for what he has done!

Hand to Hand

Hand to Hand

Hand to hand we give a stand
holding our flag to join the band
with black and white together as one
we are a family to man income

As for we are today we pray
in God's name we praise
we step it up for the heat
so we may get the beat

To make a change in history
to make a wave in the story
in our memories back in our time
to have us remember in our mind

In a club named boys and girls club
that helps hand to hand
so let's give a cheer to the band
then make a bow for you

To all good day to all good night
we have a bond we share
but you can change to make a wave
hand to hand we make a change
