Today is "Veterans Day", the day we honor all people that have served in the US Armed Forces!! With a heartfelt gratitude I share my heart today.
I'm sorry that you are not given the respect you deserve.
I'm sorry that so many don't understand your Patriotism.
I'm sorry that you are not paid what you deserve.
I'm sorry that you are not prayed for like you should be.
I'm sorry for all you've lost in service of our country.
I'm sorry that so many leaders of our country are clueless as to your reality.
I'm sorry that so many have gone on before and won't be able to read my apology today. In the scope of things, I know my words won't be read by many today but I'm heartbroken over the fact that so many of the freedoms you have given us are slipping away. I thank you from the depths of my soul for all you do and all you've done!!! May God place His Favor on your life!

OPPORTUNITY!!
Today is an opportunity for God to do the impossible in your life!! Do you need a mountain moved today? Jesus is the mover of mountains!!
"For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith."(Mark 11:23)

"The Gift of God"
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: "Ephesians 2:8
"The Gift of God". We really need to get over ourselves and get a revelation of the truth of God's Grace!! In 1760, a self-proclaimed wretch penned the hymn, "Amazing Grace", his name was John Newton. Mr. Newton, with God's help, gave the church a great Hymn. A song that we still sing today but how many people actually believe the words of the song? The verse above leaves our religious point systems out of the picture. Humanity, unfortunately, inherited it's religious nature from Adam and Eve. What did Adam do when he sinned against God? He tried to fix it with some fig leaves, leaves that soon withered and exposed his nakedness. Our fig leaves are a pathetic excuse for the Grace of God but our religious nature still goes for the fig leaves instead of repentance. We are saved by the Grace of God, plus nothing--minus nothing!!
I can assure you that I was saved by grace, it had nothing to do with me being good and churchy. Sure, I walked the church isle, cried, got baptized and hugged all the good church folk almost every time I got in trouble for something. Guess what, that's not salvation. Salvation is meeting Jesus and meeting Jesus is simple faith in Him as Savior. On 1-31-82, I met Jesus Christ my Savior!! It's sad that people are still wearing fig leaves today to try and cover their sin. Please quit wasting your time trying to please God enough with your good deeds to get to Heaven. The road to heaven is not paved with good intentions but with the Blood of Jesus, The Lamb of God!!!
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:12)
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Put your faith and trust in Jesus today!!!

What do you do when all you got to give is not enough?
At some point in life you will run out of your own strength! You are simply running on empty. You can't stop or quit because you are the strong one in the family but at this moment in time nothing could be further from the truth. You are empty, at wits end, propped up by the simple fact that you know someone or several people only have you to lean on. You are keenly aware that if you fall, they go down!! What do you do at this point in your life?
"He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, and he hath set the world upon them. He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail. The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed."(1 Samuel 2:8-10)

The God of Balance!!
If you suffer for Him, you will be consoled, compensated, recompenced in the earth. God doesn't default on His Promises!!
"And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life. But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead: Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;" (2Corinthians 1:7-10)
