A reminder for
today
For the word of
God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword,
cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our
innermost thoughts and desires. (Hebrews 4:12)
It is Monday and I must admit I wanted to stay at home
today. I am just not ready for this week and I fear I am a little negative. So today,
just in case my negativity is contagious I am going to give you a little
inspiration for the day. Are you ready? Here it comes.
“Life is wasted if we do not grasp the glory of the cross,

him, death is gain.” –Randy Alcorn
“God does not give us everything we want, but He does fulfil
His promises, leading us along the best and straightest paths to Himself.” –Dietrich

“Always, everywhere God is present, and always He seeks to
discover Himself to each one” –A.W.Tozer

let us break the chains of the enemy. In Jesus name.
Have an awesome day, dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
