Never Quit

What's up guys. I'm praying you all have a great week at school!

There are two things I wanted to mention. First, if you want to watch videos and click on the "Need something to watch video?" link you probably won't be able to. I think I have too many on there and they won't load right. They pause and have no sound. If you go directly to past posts with videos you won't have a problem. I'm working on getting it fixed.

The second is this. Never Quit in life! I woke up this morning and was just pretty discouraged. Everyone has those days. You might wake up tired, wondering about life. You could care less about school. Maybe your having family problems or friend problems. Or maybe you sinned and just don't know if you can ever change. Whatever it is, it can make you want to stop serving God or at least just for a little while.

My words to you if you ever feel that way are, "Don't Quit!" I opened my Bible and read Romans 6-8. These passages of scripture are amazing. Paul in chapter 7 talks about how he feels just like us sometimes. He just keeps messing up, not moving forward. He sees what he wants his life to be and can't seem to acquire it.

He goes on to talk about how we are dead to sin, and alive in Christ. In Romans 8:28 Paul says, "we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." That's you! Then in verse 31 he says, "What shall we say to these things. If God is for us, who can be against us." Paul wraps it all up with these words, "Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. for I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." -vs 37-39

No matter what, God will always love us. He knows exactly what we are going through and feeling. He knows the temptations and struggles of this life. Satan wants us to forget that God loves us. When we forget, we fall farther. Don't forget and don't quit on God ever. Draw closer to Him. God allows these tough days to come for a couple reasons. It causes us to draw closer to Him, it allows us to see our need for a Him, and we get to see what we're made of. Are we really who we say we are? Christians!

For those of you who are doing awesome with your walk with God, look around and serve someone. Find someone who is down and encourage them. Help them. Be a friend. It can change a life forever. If you're having a rough day, be encouraged and draw near to God's love.
