Yours Not Mine
Job 23:13 (VOICE) “He alone is one True God; who can alter Him? Whatever He desires within Himself, He does. 14 For He will carry out exactly what He has planned for me, and in the future there are more plans to come.
Suicide is murder. A lot of people have been in a place where they questioned the relevance of life. If you are reading this today and this is the question on your mind, or you feel like your life is useless or of no value at all,
Keep
Isa.43:13 “From eternity to eternity I am God. No one can snatch anyone out of my hand. No one can undo what I have done.”
There is a huge difference between sustaining a life that God has taken and taking a life that God is sustaining – huge difference! If God wants to take a person’s life, He alone reserves the right to do so. Read the rest of this entry
Differentiation!
Gen. 5:1 “This is the written account of the descendants of Adam. When God created human beings, he made them to be like himself.”

Master’s Piece
Matt.5:22 “But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell” [with emphasis].

John 14:6 “Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.”
Our heavenly Father is a perfect example of love, wisdom, and sufficiency. He says, “I Am that I Am – I Am sufficient in Myself” and we should follow His example.

Prov.19:18 (GNT) “Discipline your children while they are young enough to learn. If you don’t, you are helping them destroy themselves”
