Hard Things

One of the best visual presentations of endurance can be expressed by boxers. On this episode, Chicago’s Golden Glove champion Bola Osundairo is our guest. Building on James 1:3 “when we let endurance train us, eventually we become developed in that area of challenge and we perfect it” we grow together talking about the greater vision beyond adversity.

Join me in starting over from past mistakes and recovering from the stronghold of sin. Discovering the true meaning of the resurrection parallel to starting over a significant spriritual life.

God is truly merciful in our ‘we seem to know everything’ choices. In my personal story today, God made an amazing milestone happen in my life from a delay, which in the moment was a bummer. In the long-term, the alternative caused the biggest shift in my life. I’ve been blessed to visit 48 countries from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and North America.. God is excellent and there’s no one expect God

The world is a battle ground, right to our not so little devices that control us to jump right into what’s happening, who is trying to reach us and just constantly catching up, it is easy for distraction to set in. Someone will always be better based on what they have, someone will always look as though they are lacking because we judge based on what we have... we are only human. In God’s word, there is neutral ground: a place of focus where he is the main point. There’s a difference in our approach to life when we ate content in God. It takes work and it’s difficult but it’s worth it.

Affirming who you are truly accountable to and and identifying the circumstances temptation and sin thrive will save you from what is temporary. With the story of Eve and Joseph as reference, choosing to do everything to the glory of God than for self or someone else sets the pace to win. There may be temporaral suffering however it's better than living a long term curse.

With inspiration from proverbs 4:23 let’s take a last leap at showing up for ourselves physically, emotionally and mentally!!

With inspiration from Romans 8:38-39 let us remember that nothing will ever be able to separate God’s love for us. Our hope lies in the act of sending his son Jesus as a living sacrifice for us.

When God prompts to use us.. are we reflecting our inadequacies or his capacity to catapult us in achieving his goals? Reflection Luke 1:37
