Don’t Worry - It’s Ok!

2 Corinthians 4:18 NLT

18 So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.

I remember at the hospital during a challenging time for Sis. Doris - She reminded me and we began to sing I woke up this morning with my mind - stayed on Jesus!

1 Corinthians 9:24–27 NLT

24 Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! 25 All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. 26 So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. 27 I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.

Fight The Good Fight

2 Timothy 4:6–8 NLT

6 As for me, my life has already been poured out as an offering to God. The time of my death is near. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. 8 And now the prize awaits me—the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing.

They told him, “Lord, come and see.” 35 Then Jesus wept. 36 The people who were standing nearby said, “See how much he loved him!”

They told him, “Lord, come and see.” 35 Then Jesus wept. 36 The people who were standing nearby said, “See how much he loved him!” 37 But some said, “This man healed a blind man. Couldn’t he have kept Lazarus from dying?” 38 Jesus was still angry as he arrived at the tomb, a cave with a stone rolled across its entrance.

Her Life Is Not In Vain

The Clark Sisters sing a powerful song that simple says

"Is My Living In Vain"

Is my living in vain? Is my giving in vain? Is my praying in vain? Is my fasting in vain?

Am I wasting my time? Can the clock be rewind? Have I let my light shine? Have I made ninety-nine?

No, of course not It's not all in vain No, no Lord, no 'Cause up the road is eternal gain
