PAIN

I EXIST WITH PAIN EVERYDAY, I HAVE NO PROBLEM BEING A CHRISTIAN AND HAVING PAIN

WE COULD GET ALL INTELLECTUAL AND TRY TO EXPLAIN WHERE DOES PAIN COME FROM OR WHY DO CHRISTIANS SOMETIMES EXPERIENCE PAIN BUT, IN MY SIMPLE WAY; I”LL TELL YOU WHAT I THINK

SIN CAME INTO THE WORLD, DEATH FOLLOWED. Pain became a part of man”s existence.

NO ONE IS EXEMPT, ALL EXPERIENCE PAIN IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. A PERSON WHO SAYS HE DOES NOT IS A LIAR! THERE ARE THOSE WHO DENY, THOSE WHO REJECT AS MUCH AS THEY CAN AND THOSE WHO ACCEPT.

I DO NOT ACCEPT, BUT, I TRY NOT TO LIE EITHER. PAIN CAN BE PHYSICAL OR IT CAN BE EMOTIONAL BUT. THE BOTTOM LINE; IN THIS LIFE THERE IS PAIN

IN MY CONDITION OF BEING HANDICAPPED, I FEEL PAIN ON A DAILY BASIS, I COULD GIVE IN AND MOAN ABOUT IT OR GET UP AND ALLOW GOD TO USE ME THROUGH IT!

I KNOW PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED ALL TYPES OF PAIN AND I’m HERE TO TELL YOU, IT”S THE WAY THEY HANDLE IT THAT COUNTS

HAVING PAIN OF ANY KIND DOES NOT MAKE YOU ANY LESS A CHRISTIAN BUT, WE DO SEE WHERE OUR LOYALTIES LAY.

GOD NEVER PROMISED US AN EASY LIFE BUT, HE DID SAY HE”D BE WITH US. THE REASON HE SAID THAT, HE KNEW WE WOULD HAVE ROUGH TIMES; OF MANY KINDS.

DEPRESSED, OUT OF SORT, OR IN A LOT OF PHYSICAL PAIN;SEEK HELP!

SOMETIMES IT DOES”NT COME OVER NIGHT, RELIEVE I MEAN. SOMETIMES IT TAKES AWILE, THE QUESTION IS; ARE YOU WILLING TO SUFFER IF NEED BE?

I’M NOT GOING TO LIE, I HATE PAIN BUT, WHAT I HATE THE MOST IS HAVING TO LIVE THROUGH IT OVER AND OVER.

WE CHOOSE TO BE A SLAVE TO A PAIN RIDDLED LIFE OR WE CHOOSE TO BE MASTER OVER IT!

LORD, WE ARE ALL CREATURE OF YOUR MAKING, A LOT OF US ARE IN A PAIN RIDDLED STATE; WE NEED YOU TO TOUCH OUR LIVES. HELP US I LRAY, DELIVER US TODAY. AMEN!!!

In the hustle and bustle of Christmas, we sometimes forget the real reason we celebrate the season.

The liberals have tried to take His name from Christmas and replace it with happy holidays, but we must carry the torch!

The world has commercialized it and it’s all about getting presents, but we know the true meaning.

It” about God coming as a baby, knowing before He camel He would die

Imagine, the love it must have taken, knowing before hand the abuse and ridicule. How He loves us, thank God He came!

Through Him, all mankind has the opportunity to be saved. That’s why Satan hates His name so much.

We wonder why the world wants His name taken out of society, it’s because it’s in His name we are saved. The world is blinded and knows no better.

We have set aside this day to celebrate His birth, let’s remember who He is ans why he came.

Lord, help us to never! forget the true meaning of Christmas and let us tell all of His saving grace. Amen!!!

It’s been cold here for a week, I try to stay `inside. The only problem is I feel like a prisoner.

Have you ever felt like a prisoner to something, locked in and no way out?

I have and let me tell you, it suck!

I got into a habit of dipping, it started out just a little every now and then. But, it soon engulfed my life. I felt, I had to have one or I’d freak out.

It had gotten so bad, I would go to sleep eith a dip in my mouth. I was hooked! This little substance had control over me.

During the stroke of 2005, the Lord supernaturally delivered me, I no longer dip. This is not the norm, usually one has to go through a procedure

One thing I have come to hate, something having control of my life.

I got real frustrated this week, I looked at my disadvantages and had a “Feel sorry for Ricky Day” It did not last long but as long as it lasted; I felt horrible.

I know staying inside is no big thing to you
But, to me it’s a biggie; I feel closed in and bored.

Maybe there’s a thing in your life that you’ve tried to shake it off, never give up; keep on trying

It may not be today, tomorrow or this year, don’t get discouraged; victory is around the bend.

Lord, we need your strength, to do that wich seems impossible. You are the God of the Possible, help us to see with eyes of faith; to believe and overcome!! Amen.
