I think some are more thankful in their lives and maybe a bit more happier in their lives..because they have overcome a whole lot in their lives..and as well they have fought really hard to be where there at in their lives..so they everyday wake up determined to stay and maintain their walk with Christ..for they know all to well how easy it is for that ole devil to deceive and to tempt..they know all to well just how easy it is for temptations to overtake..and they know that freedom isn’t free..and they know what bondage feels like..they know what addiction feels like..and depression and fear feels like..so now that their free they don’t play around and or mess around with whom the Lord has made for them to be..because yes there is a God and yes there is a devil..and we live in this ole fallen world..and when we play around with fire so to speak we will sooner or later get burned by it..so for the ones in whom stays positive and stays filled up and daily so…living and walking in the Lords light and in His grace..keeping that smile on their faces and that joy in their hearts..I honesty would say it’s because they have fought many, many battles..and they know that it is not easy fighting and declaring and claiming and daily doing so..just to get that freedom that their desiring in their life..for when your health fails ya..and when your marriage is in ruins..and when your finances are in shambles..and everything is coming against you in life and life just doesn’t seem to be going your way or even for you..when you get through all of that mess of things..you’ll have no time to go back there and live there any longer..when God sets you free you keep your freedom..you know that it’s required from you to maintain your relationship with Christ..for the word says when I was younger I spoke as a child but now that I am older I have put away those childish things..1 Corinthians 13:11..Amen..for the word says that the pleasures of sin is but for a season..Hebrews 11:25..and when you know what do to in your life and you don’t do it the scripture says to you it is sin..James 4:17..because for some they use the excuse as to we are all sinners and we fall short..and yes that’s true..but as well for some they use that as an excuse to live anyway they so desire to..and talk anyway and treat people anyway they want..but guys we know we cannot use Gods grace as a crutch..to just do whatever we so want to do..for you see the Lord as well told the lady go sin no more..John 8:11..so we help ourselves by helping ourselves..we do whats right and daily do so..we don’t rumble and grumble around complaining about everything..never being thankful and always talking about someone else..for when we do we fail to see ourselves..so today look back a little over your life and see what all God has brought you from..and just what all the Lord has done for you..for I tell ya looking back about things such as that keeps us pretty happy, positive filled Christians..for how could we ever complain and or murmur after all that the Lord has done for us..for we are blessed and we are highly favored of God..so shine His light for all to see..spread the gospel to everyone it is that you meet..for when we take our eyes off from us..then our lives are lived so much more free and so much more happier..for God has done so much for us we honesty could not tell it all..Amen..so think about the goodness of the Lord..and in doing so guys we all will be much more content and satisfied with our days..In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
