Hope to start a Christian thread

I just noticed it blocked out the words for rooster. I never would have thought it was a bad words. I guess I'm kinda naive:laugh:

Hellocc, glad you were able to find an encourager for you sister going through the same thing:flowerforyou:

Today my morning study was a chapter from Prodigal To Priest by David Chadwell. The title When the **** crows.

We all will fall. No matter how strong we perceive ourselves to be we can fall. The example used was Peter. He left everything to follow Jesus. It was revealed to Him that Jesus was the Christ (Matt 16:16) at which time God gave him the keys of the kingdom which he used in Acts 2 to open up salvation to all nation. But Peter was a failure also. A big one. He denied the Lord 3 times the third with much cursing. The the **** crowed to punctuate the failure.

This is an undeniable truth: every Christian who dares to grow and to mature in Christ will inevitably face a moment when the **** crows for him. Satan's most powerful weapon against the spiritually strong is to attack their tendency to put confidence in themselves instead of in their relationship with the Lord. Ironically, the stronger a Christian becomes, the more easily he believes he is taking care of the Lord rather than the Lord is taking care of him.

The real question is, "What will I do when the **** crows for me?" One can do many things. He can quit; become a permanent critic of the church; become a negative evaluator of all; never serve again; or be hurt, frustrated, and jealous. Or, he can let the Lord put his life back together, learn from the experience, and become a mightier servant.

When we fall in our diet and exercise, let the Lord put you back together, learn from the experience and become a mightier servant.

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"You crown the year with Your bounty and goodness…" (Psalm 65:11, AMP)

Are you seeing the goodness of God overflowing in your life today? If you´ll look with your eyes of faith, you´ll see that He´s already crowned your year with His goodness. In other words, you have been especially chosen; you are marked to receive His goodness. And when God crowns you with His goodness, it doesn´t matter what´s going on around you. It doesn´t matter what´s happening in the economy, in the job market, or the housing market. God´s crown of favor and blessing cannot be moved. You are the head and not the tail; above only and not beneath.
Are you ready to receive His crown today? Are you ready to walk in the authority you´ve already been given? When you choose to receive and acknowledge His blessings by faith, you open the door for His bounty, His supernatural blessing to overwhelm you in every area of your life!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, thank You for choosing me and crowning me with Your favor and blessing. I open my heart in faith to You to receive every spiritual blessing You have for me. In Jesus´ Name. Amen.

Keep up the good work everyone & remember that no matter what is happening around you or what diet/exercise challenges you are facing, your life is crowned with His goodness and you will succed beyond your wildest expectations!

"You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body; You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something". -- Psalm 139:15

Feelings of self-worth fluctuate throughout life, but your intrinsic worth and identity is a God-given fact that is secure and permanent. You have an inherent value independent of your feelings, your actions, or your accomplishments. You are God's handcrafted work of art - custom designed, a one-of-a-kind, original masterpiece. Take a moment now to let your mind float away and resist the outside editing and altering that society subjects you to and see the incredible person you are inside? Can you feel validated and valued? Will you grant yourself that level of respect? Understand that when you recognize your worth, you're more inclined to strive to fulfill your potential, and having done that, you will be happy.

Be Encouraged…God himself calculated your worth and decided it was worth the life of his only begotten Son. YOU ARE WORTHY! You are worthy of reaching for the greatest accomplishments… And you are worthy of achieving them, no matter what other people think of you,and no matter what you have done up to this point in life.You are worthy of the best. You are unique, you are special. You are creative and effective. You have much value to offer, regardless of what anyone has told you. And no one can express that value but you. You are the person who deserves to live your dream. You are the only one who has what it takes to reach that dream. If you can see it, if you can imagine it, if you can dream it, you are worthy of reaching it. And it is possible. No one will hand it to you. In fact, you'll strive day and night to reach it. When you give the best you have, when you refuse to be stopped by the obstacles in your way, when you do what must be done, you'll get what you deserve—a full, rich life that is like no other.

Each day, with your thoughts and actions, live up to the fact that you are the best. All the best in your mini-goals this week!!!! :flowerforyou:
