The Ride of Your Life


Day 101
Are you ready for a wild ride? Do you know where I'm taking you? You know your ultimate destination: Home in heaven, with Me forever; or, at least, you know something about it.

But do you know how many places I want to take you in this life? How many people I want to influence, help, and change through you? Be my vessel - my vehicle - to pour out of my great storehouses of treasure into the lives of the people you touch.

These are some of my treasures: love, joy, peace, healing, kindness, security, strength, faith, faithfulness, endurance, wisdom, revelation, generosity, abundance, truth, freedom, victory, light, vision, hope, Jesus!

Are you ready to ride?


But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. -- Galatians 5:22-23

Great crowds came to him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and many others, and laid them at his feet; and he healed them. -- Matthew 15:30

My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
-- Colossians 2:2-3

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? No, in all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. -- Romans 8:31, 32, 37 [NLT]
