Having trouble recovering from a setback? Remember this. Jesus already gave us an example. Do you remember when he was going to Calvary? How many times did he fall on the road? Three good times. And each time, what did he do? He picked up his cross and continued because he aimed to serve and redeem us. So he must pick up his cross and continue. How do you recover from failure? You recover from failure by not giving up. Don’t define yourself by failure, so you don’t just fail; stay there. Get up. Don’t surrender.
When you are looking for someone to help you, you get somebody stronger than you, the person who knows the way and can lead you. You leave all to the Lord. The Lord upholds all who fall. And with God within you, you will overcome failure.

You Did It To Me
Matthew 25:40 says I lost it. I hope that 40 was on the next page. “And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these, my brethren, you did it to me.'” If President Biden or Pope Francis comes here and wants a cup of water, everybody will run scatter-skelter, falling on each other to provide them…

Love Is Not Rude
Love is not rude. Why are you rude? Be gentle with yourself and with your neighbor, especially those who are around you. We all want people to treat us gently, let us do the same. Nobody likes harsh words or abusive language. Respecting God and the things of God and those surrounding us, there is a peace and serenity that comes…
