The grass withers, the flower fades,<\/span>
\n but the word of our God stands forever.<\/span>
\nIsaiah 40:8<\/span><\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2665 \u00a0 ~\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u271e\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0\u2665 \u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0*<\/span><\/p>\n

Words<\/span><\/em>. \u00a0How do you use your<\/span> words? \u00a0Do you build up or do you tear down? \u00a0When you are angry do you say hateful, hurtful things? \u00a0As we have grew up, we may have heard words spoken in anger, tearing us down. \u00a0But \u00a0we can come back from those words. \u00a0We can heal from the hurtful words spoken to us. \u00a0James spoke of our tongue, saying:<\/p>\n

The tongue is a small thing, but what enormous damage it can do.
\nJames 3:5<\/p>\n

When we believed that Jesus died on the Cross for our sins, we were made new. \u00a0As we read and study the Word of God, our hearts are recreated. \u00a0Our past experiences have told us that life can be uncaring, unfriendly. \u00a0But our life with Jesus as our Lord \u00a0will be vastly different if we choose to learn and discover more of God’s love.<\/p>\n

The beauty of God’s Word is it has existed for thousands of years… it ‘stands forever’. \u00a0There is nothing which has prevented it from existing. \u00a0His words are so powerful, it has been translated to many languages and dialects, enabling people in most all nations to have the opportunity to learn and grow. \u00a0God has created pastors to lead us, to teach us, to encourage us. \u00a0We just need to sit and learn; then go into the world and share the goods news of the sacrifice Jesus made.<\/p>\n

Remember the first time you accepted Jesus as your Savior…the elation, the empowerment you felt when you realized your life was going to be forever. \u00a0Do you still have the same passion, the drive to share? \u00a0I pray you do. \u00a0I pray someone was able to come alongside you and disciple you; and to encourage you with the words of our Father. And that passion within you would grow so you could share His good news with others.<\/p>\n

Keep pursuing your passion. \u00a0Keep learning, discovering who you are in Christ and you will be rewarded.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2665 \u00a0 ~\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u271e\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0\u2665 \u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0*<\/span><\/p>\n

Father, I pray for those who may have lost their passion for You. I ask that they begin to seek You with a renewed fervor to tell others about Your love. \u00a0I pray for a light to shine forth, and that we share with others so we can tell them what You have done for\u00a0us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
