Scripture focus: So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn't hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn't gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God's chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ's love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:
They kill us in cold blood because they hate you.
We're sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one.
None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I'm absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us. Romans 8:31-39 The Message
What do you think?
If we came to believe that we cannot lose with God on our side, what might we be willing to endure, suffer, sacrifice and surrender in order to experience the reality of his presence in our lives?

I think Trust, the more I trust the better I endure, suffer, sacifice and surrender.This does not mean there is not fear, anger, pain, and hurts it just means the more I invite Him in and give Him to hold the better I endure. In life all these things are going to happen to us anyway it is our choice to make on where we will find relief. He has showed us the way and given us the word. Now we get to decide weither relief will come from a bottle, a drug, or our Father above. I think Trust. God Bless Yall
I have a hut mate who is struggling please remember in your prayers those who are looking for somewhere to work. A job is job and does not define who are, my friend is more than any job could be.
