Life is for the brave and the bold. It looks at death and laughs, knowing that the hidden reality, the real meaning to life, is known by the spiritually minded.

Life is for the truth bearer a reality not found in a drunken stupor or a drug clouded myth, it is not found in cowardice but in facing life knowing the victory is in living the truth.

Life is for pleasure, not like those who escape in perversion or diversion. It is for those who know who they are and where they are going.

Life is for happiness and happiness is not for the weak but for the strong who can put the morose, the negative, and the fearful things of this world under their feet.

Life is for love, to be loved and to give love deeply, truly, faithfully, and unselfishly; only then can you say you have truly lived.

Life is about time; not it’s limits but it’s endless plans of future dreams, present ideals, past fond and beautiful remembrances that will linger as a sweet fragrance of never ending tomorrows.

Life is about Christ, for in Him was death conquered, time made a servant, pleasure found in real love, happiness a reality, and God, the author of all our hopes that we know are made sure in knowing Him.

Apostle Paul, in a letter to the Philippians wrote:

Philippians 3:7-12 (NKJV)7 But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. 8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; 10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, 11 if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. 12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.

There are five things we must do continually:

1- Count all things outside of Christ as refuse, the garbage of a fallen world that will never bring God’s best into our lives. So many people live in Satan’s dumpster rather than God’s blessings.

2- All we think as gain in the world is trash compared to the relationship we have with God in Christ. Live miraculously, supernaturally, and be filled and led by the Spirit.

3- Jesus’ final words to the seven churches in Revelation indicated that it is not those who say the sinner’s prayer who belong to Him but those who overcome. This is the courage of our call, and the witness in our lives to all who are looking to us in hope for the truth.

4- The greatest act of love is to act in obedience towards God. It is the true demonstration of Christian courage and faithfulness. Jesus said, “If you love me you will obey me.”

5- Finally forget those things that are behind, the failures, mistakes, temptations, and trials. Every day is a new day. Begin with an overcomer’s spirit.

Today is your chance to make it all right.
