"Be strong, all you people of the land, declares the Lord. Work, for I am with you, declares the Lord of hosts.” Haggai 2:4. Not: you don’t need to work, for I am with you. Not: you must do the work, for I am not with you. But: work, for I am with you. (Philippians 2:13)
*sigh*. i lost follows, i assume for those tweets. its basic. as christians were called to forgive people for their sinful nature, and their sins against us, knowing we too have been sinners. im just trying to do my part and encourage you in the same.
if you cant handle it, sorry
psalms 139: 8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
autumn season you started school, studied and did tests, winter you did the same, spring you learned under the fair sun.
but in summer time you write exams.
and if you fail, youre held back.
is that summer rays i see upon the horizon?
pick up The Good Book and live.
you first have to run your race before you can recieve the medal.
even if everyones a winner.
if you dont compete, how can you be a winner?
even if you dont run perfectly all the time, atleast you'd still cross the finish line.
you must do better than your past.
God has made it so that anyone who repents and goes to HIM can recieve salvation through grace.
Love thy God and thy neighbor. like you know you should.
dont be fooled, the only way to live forever is to be with the original Jesus Christ, the way He has given for you - through HIS grace.
your portion only, nobody elses. so id get to it if i were you

The devil cannot make you sin. He can suggest sin. He can tempt. He can lie and scheme. But in Christ, by his Spirit, you always have the power to resist.
