This Is The Life!

God has chosen you to be his example to the world. This means that you will endure trials because our enemy does not want us to 'Declare God's Praises'. But we must remain faithful. We must continue to 'be of good cheer', because God's word declares that if we suffer with Christ, we will also reign with him.

Let's continue to fight the good fight. When people attempt to bring us down to their level, let's raise them up to ours. When we are tempted to wander from what we know to be the right way to live, let's resist the enemy. When we feel down and in despair, let's remember that our trials are only temporary. God wants us to prosper, because when we do, we have the opportunity to give Him glory! Continue to let your light shine so that people will see you and want to know the God that you serve!

"You are the light of the world. You cannot hide a city that is on a mountain. Men do not light a lamp and put it under a basket. They put it on a table so it gives light to all in the house. Let your light shine in front of men. Then they will see the good things you do and will honor your Father Who is in heaven."

~Matthew 5:14-16 (NLV)
