Today's Scripture<br />

“Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give<br />

yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is<br />

not in vain.”<br />

1 Corinthians 15:58<br />

DON T LET NOTHING STOP YOU!<br />

We all mess up. We say things we later wish we could take back. We do things<br />

we wish we could undo. We miss opportunities. This happens in all spheres of<br />

our lives. Sometimes we make mistakes at work, sometimes we hurt the<br />

people we love, sometimes we disappoint God. And because we all mess up,<br />

we like to start over to turn our backs on the past, to look forward, to hope that<br />

this time round, things are going to be better. And believers we have been<br />

given the ability to persevere and always be victorious through Jesus Christ<br />

our Lord.<br />

There is no person that hasn t sinned a er they were saved. The difference is<br />

only that some run from God and others run to God. I don t care what you ve<br />

done. If you understand the Grace of God, and that His forgiveness is<br />

unfailing, that sin will actually motivate you to get to Jesus. Don t let it stop<br />

you. Nothing should stop you from worshiping God, not people, not our past,<br />

not anything.<br />

God is not looking for perfect people. If He was, we would all be disquali ed.<br />

He is looking for people that have a heart that's right. If you have a heart<br />

toward God and you get up each day with a commitment to do your best, you<br />

don't have to live guilty and condemned. And when those old thoughts come<br />

telling you, You don't deserve God's blessings, just say, You're exactly right. I<br />

know I don't deserve it. But that's what God's mercy is all about.<br />

Trust God with your past and future and commit your present to his purpose.<br />

Then watch and see how God provides abundantly for you and through you so<br />

that you can express the joy of the Lord and His grace in your life.<br />

Prayer<br />

For The Day<br />

Father, thank You for<br />

empowering me by Your<br />

Holy Spirit. Thank You<br />

for giving me new life<br />

and the opportunity to<br />

start afresh. I choose to<br />

let go of the past. I won t<br />

let it de ne me and I<br />

won't let it stop me, but I<br />

will let Your truth de ne<br />

me and lead me into<br />

victory in the mighty<br />

name of Jesus! Amen.<br />
