We need to consider the following scripture:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> 2Peter 1:3 says,\u201cHis divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friends, God\u2019s promises are sure and true and we can do everything through Him. It really comes down to the choices we make in &#8216;action&#8217; or &#8216;reaction&#8217; to what is happening in our lives. Let\u2019s be honest, being a believer in this world is no easy task and if we were told the truth of God\u2019s word we know that.  Jesus said it himself in John 16:33:  \u201cI have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My encouragement is this; We can walk and do all that we do in Love. The choice is up to us. Jesus gave us everything we need to do so. May He find me faithful. May He find us faithful.
