Never Loose Hope

I absolutely am in love with TOMS, and the purpose behind them. So worth getting a pair of these!

For everyone who loves Detroit. Its people. Its places. Its past. Its promise. Its potential. Detroit is rising. Again.

Amen.

The truth is were all going to have hardship’s in our lives. Were all going to fall into temptation. And were all going to be hurt by others. People will let us down, and leave us heart broken or confused. But these bumps in the road don’t define who we are to be. God defines who we ought to be. He is in control.

It’s so easy to just do things for ourselves, but in the end there is no benefit from it. How could living a life for yourself, only thinking of yourself be of any significance. What’s real significance is a life lived for God. Of course were going to fall short of his glory but that’s no reason to back down and call it quits. 

By simply choosing God, and having the willpower to say no to sin that lurks around us, we can become the people we were meant to be. Loving, caring and joyful people. And the only thing, and I mean the ONLY thing that can bring us all this joy is God. He is filled with love for us far more greater than we could ever possibly imagine.

Sometimes we are pulled astray,we fall for the wrong things at the wrong times, but that doesn’t mean it’s over.There’s always room for improvement, adjustment, tweaking. It just takes that first step of faith. Choosing to follow God was never intended to be easy, it was intended to be simple. Trust me, it’s hard, difficult and frustrating. You are constantly wondering whether what you just did or said was suppose to come out. But the truth is STOP WORRYING! If you are choosing to follow God he will lead you in the right direction. He won’t stop halfway in the job and leave it up to you..no, he’s in control. He’s our pilot. We must simply do three things..

1. Believe, believe Jesus died on the cross for YOUR sins.    

2. Move forward, move forward with your life and start fresh.

3. Build relationships with God, and with others. Community is the way to go.
