Ecclesiastes 2:17 - "Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit."

You may feel like you are climbing your mountain alone, stop and re-center your thoughts on Jesus! He's a constant companion, ready to help you take the next step and then the next. You have to take only one step at a time! Instead of dreading the journey ahead of you, direct your focus to the present and on His Presence with you! 2 Timothy 4:18 "The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and bring me safely into His heavenly kingdom. To Him be the glory forever and ever." I'm climbing up! How about you?
Thought for the day:
The outlook for today may call for a blanket, a hot cup of coffee, a nap and scrolling through Facebook. While you’re there, maybe you’ll allow me to speak into your life a minute.
The high call for godly living makes sense in light of the price that was paid at Calvary for your redemption. As a people, we must stop allowing our love to turn on a hinge of constantly asking for forgiveness where there is no intention of change.
Though there is no limit to God’s forgiveness, there must be repentance in the heart of the asker. True repentance involves a qualitative component of change in the life of the asker as well as, a quantitative component of the want to. Anything less amounts to asking the Lord to overlook one’s lack of effort.
He cannot do that for He is just, righteous, and holy.
Forgiveness begins in the heart of the one being forgiven. Then, Matthew 3:8 says, “Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance…” In this verse, Peter has issued a challenge to prove sincerity by living a life that is a living demonstration of faith in Jesus and the love of Christ without hesitation.
If we are truly saved by the precious blood of Jesus then we know we cannot continue to live as if we were not.
I pray you be encouraged by these words.
