A few notes from church this past Sunday.
Topic: Risk
Scripture was from Matthew.
Important question to ponder: If you are willing to announce Christ as your savior at death, why not do it daily while you are living? (When it can actually make a difference) ...Imagine how much more of an abundant life you could live, if it is Christ centered.
There are times I have strayed. Years. ...dare I say decades.
No longer was living a half life acceptable.
Turning things around a couple years ago has made me so much more fulfilled.
Are things perfect now? Nope.
Is that okay? Absolutely
I am happier and I am trying to reach my potential as a Christian, and as a person.
~be the person you were created to be~ this still rings in my mind.
Some days, I feel like this:
Other days:
But every day, I have hope:
...and hope will carry you through any bad day!
Matthew 16:24-28 (New Living Translation):
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me. 25 If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. 26 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?[l] Is anything worth more than your soul? 27 For the Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father and will judge all people according to their deeds. 28 And I tell you the truth, some standing here right now will not die before they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom.”
