When people look at your life, what will they see? Will they see a life well spent? Or will they see a life wasted. There are so many excuses why we can’t do what is right. The longer you live the more you hear all the excuses. Man has the ability to succeed in his life. But what is unfortunate, is that for the most part the good part of our lives are thrown away for this reason or that. No one has ever said that your life will be easy or without struggle. We were made by our creator to learn through struggle. The best way to learn something is to make it difficult to obtain. Then what we obtain is worth more. Anything that is given to you isn’t worth much, no matter what it is. Life is funny that way. But the crux of the matter is not to let the difficulty defeat you. There isn’t anything that man can’t accomplish. Again, what is unfortunate, is that man believes that if he is successful, he is god. That is furthest from the truth. Man doesn’t have the power to change what is important. Man by himself, can’t raise the dead or prevent a disease from killing. Man can’t change his heart. We are limited by who we are. Our lives depend on the mercies of God. It is always interesting that when man gets in trouble, they instinctively turn to the one person who can help. I have had so many people come to me and ask for prayer. And I know that they don’t know God. But they know where to get help when life is overpowering. There is only one place to go if life has overpowered us. And that is to God and His Son, Jesus.

This world is uncertain at best. As of late it has become scary, not knowing what will happen from day to day. Then you think what will I do or where will I go? No one owns me anything and nothing is guaranteed. So, where do you go? As a people, we have always been taught that we can do anything, with hard work and perseverance. But that isn’t always true. Failure is always in front of us no matter what we do. I came to this place 40 years ago. I didn’t know what to do. I was lost in my own world. I was lying on my bed, reading a magazine about the 12 million abandon children in Brazil. The next think I knew I was standing on my feet crying out to God about the children. At that point I knew that I needed God in my life. I began to pursue God. I wanted to know if He was really real and alive. And I wanted to know if God could help me. So, I kept my eyes and ears open to see and heard anything about God. People began to talk to me about God. One man gave me a book about Corrie Ten Boom, a Christian who lived through the holocaust. I went into business with 2 Christian men, who talked about Jesus every time we had a meeting. God directed my steps to the point I realize that He was real and alive. That was the day I asked for forgiveness and accepted Jesus into my heart. Then I knew where to go and what to do in my life.
