so good

"Christianity has always insisted that the cross we bear, proceeds the crown we wear. To be a Christian, one must take up his cross, with all its difficulties and agonising and tension-packed content, and carry it until that very cross leaves its mark upon us and redeems us to that more excellent way which comes only thru suffering." martin luther king jr.

"whoever wants to save his life will loose it, but whoever looses his life for My sake will find it." Jesus

"paradoxically, we get this abundant life in ways we many not have counted on. we get it by investing in others, by taking courageous stands for justice, for ministering to the weak and needy, by pursuing God and not self.. those who suffer hardships and sufferings seem to me more fully alive, not less." philip yancey

we need to refocus our reality. the world says one thing, the Word says the complete opposite.
