Because life is too short to be depressed, it is our hope to be able to share hope and encouragement to all who cross our paths. We live in an imperfect world that is very capable of throwing all kinds of difficulties in our path. Only by the grace of God are any of us able to survive the firey darts that are hurled at us each and every day. Satan is a liar. He wants us to be afraid of what he can cause us to go through, but we need to know that Satan has no power except what we give him permission to use against us. All our hope is in Jesus Christ and the salvation that He bought for us with His blood. Through Christ, anything is possible, because He goes to the Father on our behalf, to plead our case and to contest the accusations that Satan is constantly throwing at us. He has given us His peace, the same peace that made it possible for Him to endure the cross without opening His mouth. He has promised us that we will do greater things than He had done because He goes to the Father and has given to us all the strengths and understandings that He had; He sent to us the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit moves into our hearts when we are born again and begins teaching us everything that we need to know in order to live holy and righteously before the Father. His job is to help cleanse us by revealing to us where our weaknesses are and showing us how to deal with those weaknesses until we are as white as snow and ready to live eternally with the Father. Condemnation is for the world and not the children of God (Romans 8:1). Jesus didn't come into the world to condemn and we should never condemn anyone either. Our personal salvation is an individual walk with the Lord that can only be judged by the individual and the Father; SALVATION IS A HEART CONDITION.
