When I go on a bike rise , it tends to be the time i think about a lot .
So on a bike ride last week a load of things came to mind and would like to share with my thought's.
As I ride my bike I think , Have Christians forgot about the USA? Don't they realize America has poverty , sex trafficking, and people with out homes too?
Don't get me wrong i understand some people who have been called to foreign countries and third world countries.
I just see the hurt in America and I see how badly this country needs Jesus.
I think it time we start looking at America as a mission field too!!!
As I ride my bike i think, Why do we let words hurts us ?
I have been called everything in the book and yes i personally have let words hurt me .
what I have learned in this life is that yes words hurt but only when you give them power.
Now I am not saying that have Io have become immune to negative word's from people but have learned not to let people negative word's affect very time. you have to realize some people are just haters and move on !
As i ride my bike I think, Why do we give up when it gets rough in our Christian walk ?
John 16: 1-7 says " 16 “All this I have told you so that you will not fall away. 2 They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God. 3 They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. 4 I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember that I warned you about them. I did not tell you this from the beginning because I was with you, 5 but now I am going to him who sent me. None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ 6 Rather, you are filled with grief because I have said these things.7 But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
1 peter 5:10-11 says , 10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 11 To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
And James 1:2-4 says " 2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
As Christians we will suffer and face trials and tribulations but We have Jesus to comfort us and help us get thorough bad times .
As I ride my bike i think , why do we give up on our Dreams so easily ?
I know our Economy is not the greatest right now but that should stop you from accomplishing your dreams!
Yes it will take longer but it is so worth it !
Next year i will be moving to PA to start making some of my dreams come true.
I know have to put God first and work hard to make this happen .
I think we forget that we need to put God First and working hard is What makes Dreams come true.
PUT GOD FIRST AND WORD HARD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
