What are you made of?



I have battled thoughts all this week. Thoughts of being a loser, a pathetic idiot, one who can't get it right. I know those negative thoughts only come from the accuser himself. He's the real idiot and loser. God has constantly reminded me that I am a child of His and that He dwells inside of me. That, my friends, makes me a winner no matter what trials I face and the same goes for you too! If we belong to Jesus, then...so what? Whatg about all these things that bombard our lives to bring us down and tries to keep us in the valley? We have victory over all of it! We may not be able to see it or feel it, but it is there-victory. Romans 8:15 says For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!" and Galatians 4:6 says Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" That word "ABBA" can be translated as "daddy". We don't have to be afraid of what we are facing! We don't have to fear what lies ahead. All we need to do is trust that God, our Father, is with us and will be with us until the trials are over. By faith, start practicing your victory dance because it is near! Randy
