"PATIENCE, COURAGE, WISDOM."

Somewhere I read this:
“GOD, GRANT ME PATIENCE, TO ACCEPT
THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE,
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE ONES I CAN,
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE”

We get worried when we hear about the pests invading
our planet; we get sad, we get mad, we get anxious and
some times depressed; but why? Can we change it? No?
Then, we have to ask God for Patience to accept it, until
it goes away like many of those illnesses that in the past
have invaded our world! Watching T.V. makes us worry!
Maybe a nice movie will calm our nerves!
And instead of worrying we should ask God for Courage
to change the things we could change, this will drive away
our anxieties, worries, and those things that will lower
our immune system opening the doors for trouble!
And having wisdom, we will know the things that are
out of our reach reach and leave them alone!
And start changing the ones we can!
Here is an example: If it’s raining and the rain makes us
“Blue” We cannot change the rain by being sad, instead,
we could see all the benefits it brings us, and be happy!
Happiness is the ability to change our mood!
And instead of worrying, we could thank God for what He
does for us! Because…Rain or shine the day is Beautiful!
God give me Patience to ACCEPT what I cannot change.
Courage to CHANGE the ones I can…
And WISDOM to know the difference!
It is easier to reject illnesses being happy!
Than sad and depressed!
Remember:

GOD LOVES YOU…
OPEN UP YOUR HEART!

"DOUBT"

We all want to receive God’s blessings!
We all want to be protected by Him!
We all want to have his help when we need it! And…
He is willing to help us!
He is willing to give us his Mercies, and to shower us with
his Love, and all of these are possible, if we do not doubt!
Doubt is like an umbrella that prevents us to receive the
cure we’re always asking Him to give us! But…
Doubt is like holes on our shield that they could be so big that
allows the arrows of our enemies to pass through and kill us!
What do we want doubts for?
Doubts are not from God! They don’t help us in anyway but to
destroy all the positive things we have and leaves us helpless!
On the contrary, Faith reinforces our shield and it could be so
strong that nothing could penetrate it!
Doubt is like a strong fire that melts our faith!
Faith makes the Brave to Conquer, and Doubt to turn around!
Get rid of all your doubts!
How could we do that?
Believe! Believe God is Real! He is a living Person that loves
us so much, but, when He sees so much evil in the world He
wants to destroy it, but before He does it, He wants his Son
Jesus to save as many people as possible by their Faith on Him!
Believing in Jesus as the Son of God, shows your Faith!
When you believe He died on the cross to forgive your sins…
You are forgiven!
When you believe He resurrected at the third day among the
dead, you will be Saved and have eternal life!
Check your shield! Does it have holes?
No! Wonderful!
You are protected with His blood!
You are saved for the Glory of God!

PRAISE HIM HE LOVES YOU!

"KNOCK OUT"

How good would it be that in a boxing match, we win all
rounds and the last one, giving to our opponent a good hit
on his jaw, we throw him on the canvas and at the count of
ten, we win by knockout!
Fabulous!
But if instead of us winning, the hits are coming like a cascade,
I think it would be better if we fall at the beginning, and then,
recovering our strength, raising our arms, stretching our legs,
and listening to our manager, we attack our opponent with all
we got, and become victorious, instead of start winning all
rounds and at the end getting tired of throwing so many hits
we stop and loose the fight.
If for any reason, we are laying on the canvas because our
enemy threw us down, we should not worry, we still have
a chance to stand up and fight on our road to God, because
it is not until we are counted up to ten, that we are eliminated.
We are not defeated, we’re still alive!
Gain back your strength, raise your fallen arms, strengthen
your legs, and listen to our Trainer Jesus.
He defeated death on the cross to give us life!
He said:
“In the world ye may have tribulation, but be of good cheer
I have overcome the world”
John 16- 33.

“Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors
through Him that loved us.”
Romans 8-37.

“Listening and obeying his wise advises, we will surely win”

PRAISE HIM!
HE LOVES US!
