"LIFE SAVER"

Life saver?
What is a life saver?
It's a pneumatic filled with air,donut shaped and it is used to throw it to
a person when in the water it’s drowning, the person holds tight to it and
it is pulled to safe grounds saving them from dying.
When somebody wants to learn how to swim, the person gets inside the
donut hole to help them to keep afloat and showing them the basic move-
ments for swimming, they start gaining confidence and begin to swim
without it, and after they learn, they seat on top of the “Donut” and they
rest floating on the water and enjoying the sun.
And then?.. .. What???
Oh yes! There is an analogy about this:
The people feel so comfortable seating on this pneumatic, that forgets how
to swim, or never learned how!
Many, many people hate exercising! Our body needs it in all three parts
of us: Our body, our soul, and our spirit.
There is an old Latin saying that goes like this:
“MENS SANA IN CORPORE SANO” “Healthy mind in healthy body”
So if we want to have a healthy mind, we have to have a healthy body,
And there is just one way to get it: With our own efforts!
Eating well, sleeping well, exercising our body, and our mind,
we will have a healthy body, a sharp mind, and a happy soul!
Many of us are like this:
I am gaining weight! We take a pill!
I have a head ache! We take a pill!
My stomach hearts! We take a pill!
I cannot sleep! We take a pill!
I cannot wake up! We take coffee after coffee until we do!
I am tired! We take a soda pop or a beer and cigarettes!
I feel stressed! Give me a pill!
I feel depressed! .. .. .. Pills become our “Life saver”
Our arms get weak without exercise and we cannot swim on our own!
But if we take off our “Life saver” Before being prepared.. ..
We may drown!
But, what else can we do?
Open your eyes and see:
We are becoming drug addicts with so much dependency on drugs!
But we cannot get off the “Life saver” without first being conscious
of what we’re doing!
We have to begin exercising while we are still seating on our “donut”
until we feel absolutely sure we are strong enough: To step down!
We also have to start exercising our minds with the Word of God
to begin receiving the Peace of God instead of the peace of drugs
that nothing good will bring to our lives.
Our body has an invisible “spring” that keeps pulling us back to
our original position when we are trying to exercise for health!
We have to fight very hard against this “spring” with courage
telling to ourselves the truth: We are weak and we cannot do it alone!
But God is stronger than all our bad habits together!
He wants to help you if you ask Him for help!
The decision is only yours!
You may fall over and over, but believe me: You fell many times
before you learn how to walk! And you did it!
Now you are going to start learning again how to walk,
but this time with God! Drugs free!
Are you ready?
Get strength, courage, love, and wisdom with God’s Word!
READ THE BIBLE! And.. ..

PRAISE THE LORD!
