Adversity Will Surface In Every Life. How

The World Is Filled With Too Many Of Us Who Are Inclined To Indicate Our Love With An Announcement Or Declaration. True Love Is A Process. True Love Requires Personal Action. Love Must Be Continuing To Be Real. Love Takes Time.

He Who Invites Us To Follow Will Always Be Out In Front Of Us With His Spirit And Influence Setting The Pace. He Has Charted And Marked The Course, Opened The Gates, And Shown The Way. He Has Invited Us To Come Unto Him, And The Best Time To Enjoy His Companionship Is Straightway. We Can Best Get On The Course And Stay On The Course By Doing As Jesus Did-make A Total Commitment To Do The Will Of His Father.

None Of Us Need One More Person Bashing Or Pointing Out Where We Have Failed Or Fallen Short. Most Of Us Are Already Well Aware Of The Areas In Which We Are Weak. What Each Of Us Does Need Is Family, Friends, Employers, And Brothers And Sisters Who Support Us, Who Have The Patience To Teach Us, Who Believe In Us, And Who Believe We’re Trying To Do The Best We Can, In Spite Of Our Weaknesses. What Ever Happened To Giving Each Other The Benefit Of The Doubt? What Ever Happened To Hoping That Another Person Would Succeed Or Achieve? What Ever Happened To Rooting For Each Other?

Do Not Allow Yourselves To Be Made To Feel Inadequate Or Frustrated Because You Cannot Do Everything Others Seem To Be Accomplishing. Only You And Your Father In Heaven Know Your Needs, Strengths, And Desires. Around This Knowledge Your Personal Course Must Be Charted And Your Choices Made.

If He Could Have His Way, Satan Would Distract Us From Our Heritage. He Would Have Us Become Involved In A Million And One Things In This Life-probably None Of Which Is Very Important In The Long Run-to Keep Us From Concentrating On The Things That Are Really Important, Particularly The Reality That We Are God's Children. He Would Like Us To Forget About Home And Family Values. He'd Like To Keep Us So Busy With Comparatively Insignificant Things That We Don't Have Time To Make The Effort To Understand Where We Came From, Whose Children We Are, And How Glorious Our Ultimate Homecoming Can Be!
