CHEER UP

Good morning,
When we look at ourselves, what do we see? Do we see sadness, sorrow, pain, disappointment, contempt, worry, anger, resentment, hate, jealousy? But what does God see? He sees greatness, holiness, love, beauty, a WONDERFUL PIECE OF WORK that He created. There are people out there who wonder why they're here, why bad things happen to them and at the end of the day they see all those negative things because they don't see God because of the distractions (negative things). During these times right now when we've lost loved ones, the economic turmoil, wars being fought spiritually and physically, communities falling apart, families breaking up and it seems like SOMETIMES there is just NO ANSWER, what do you do?
When you're feeling all these things get yourself up, get yourself going and get to a SAFE PLACE. Get a way to get to God. Whether it's church, a trusted friend, a long ride in your car, whatever it may be, as long as it's positive, get to God. Don't let the hurt, trials and tribulations consume you. Turn your focus to God!!!

Romans 12: 1-2
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (KJV)

Whatever your HURT is give it to God....Lay it at His feet!!! He'll take care of it.

James
