Happy Sunday ☀️

I want to encourage you to live with courage! Adversity in life is unavoidable. We’re going to have failures, we will experience disappointment & sometimes we will mess up. That’s okay! Remember the words of Jesus & choose live w/ courage in the face of trials.

“…In me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

🌻This morning, I found myself complaining about the rising cost of fuel and realized I’ve never had to run from missiles. I wondered whether I needed to stock up on a few things and then realized I don’t have to send my children to school with their blood type taped on their backs. I shook my head at the thought of our military men and women headed overseas but realized for Ukraine, war showed up at their doorsteps.
So … I’ve decided not to sit at home and brood over the stock market while people are literally facing death.
Instead, I choose to pray. I know God is listening, so I’m going to pray for peace. I pray for good to overcome evil and that it happens sooner than later. I pray that God will hear the cry of every lost soul facing a war they didn’t want and come to their rescue. I pray for an overwhelming presence of God himself in every corner of the world today, tomorrow and beyond!
Let us all pray for the protection for our brothers and sisters in Ukraine & for our US / Allied military forces. May God hear our prayers and turn this whole thing around. If He can shut the mouths of hungry lions, split an entire sea in half and raise the dead, He can surely save Ukraine. Lord, hear our prayers. Amen.

Make allowance for each other's faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.
( Colossians 3:13)
We must not allow hurtful experiences to linger and hold us in bondage… we have to make the decision to forgive and let go. Holding on to unforgiveness can bring about torment within, which can cause physical, mental and emotional sickness. We have to surrender the hurt to God and allow Him to take what we view as hurtful and trust Him to use it in a way that is beneficial to our spiritual growth. Love covers a multitude of faults and just as we desire to be forgiven of our mistakes, we have to allow the love of God to flow through us and enable us to extend the same forgiveness we have received from Him to those who hurt us.
