Counting your blessings begins with Jesus.

Any freedom worth having is freedom worth fighting for. The freedom you have in Jesus must be guarded and defended.

TAKE A STAND!

Knowing this will help get you through anything in life:

GOD LOVES ME!

Being a person after God's own heart is not exclusively for David. This can be for an child of God who is willing to do as David did. This can be you.

Being accountable to another is a wise check and balance for your life. Having that person in your life who has permission to counsel, challenge and rebuke you when necessary as well as support you spiritually is such a blessing from God.

Know today that God will take the most disastrous challenges and hopeless situations you face and in His wise and supernatural way, turn them around for your ultimate good.

STOP. Take time out from the busyness of life to appreciate what you have now. LOOK. See the importance of the relationships you have and never take them for granted. LISTEN. Be sensitive to the needs of others and what God is saying to you.

The people you meet can have a genuine life-changing encounter with Jesus. It comes through giving total control over to Him. Let Jesus live in you.

The proven battle plan for victory against insurmountable odds we face is looking to God for help.

Let the choices we make be God-centered and not self- centered.
