Things

The things we have are of no consequence. Things are handed down from family member to family member for safe-keeping, but in the very end, there is no need for any of it. Only what we need - that should be enough. But our human desires play a huge part - if we were not human, but God, we wouldn't see a need for these things we think, we believe we need, when they are merely desires.

Why? Because its pretty or simply put "I like it. I want it. I don't have one. I want one too. It tastes good. One little bit won't hurt. It doesn't cost a whole lot."

Satan often whispers these things to us and we listen to him instead of turning our minds and hearts to Jesus where all of our focus should be at all times, not just when it appears convenient for us.

Never doubt the power of God

Never doubt God's power. Never doubt His promises. We should never. We should never question anything about God. He is. That should be enough. 2006 has been the most miraculous year. So much has happened, not necessarily good/bad, but the walk with Jesus has been joy-filled. My faith has doubled, tripled. Not because of the prayer requests that He answered, but because I chose to walk with Him, focus on Him, stay in His word, study His word, look to Him for everything. Yes, Satan works harder when your energies are focused on God, but with the Lord before you and behind you and all around you, Satan can be defeated. He'll still strive to overpower you, make you fight with your spouse, but he doesn't win. God wins.
Thank you Jesus for dying for me. Thank you Jesus for sending the Holy Spirit to live inside me on the day I accepted you as my Saviour and Lord. Thank you Jesus, thank you God for never quitting on me, always being by my side, always helping me to see things from your perspective. Thank you for the joy that fills my heart. Thank you for all the people you have brought into my life to enable me to see all that you are. Thank you for loving me, when I have been so unworthy of your love, yet have needed it so much.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will direct your paths." - Proverbs 3:5-6
