Stay Encouraged

 2 Corinthians 5:21. -“God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”

  The fast pace and the ups and downs of life can bear upon us with such intensity that we can become discouraged and disenchanted.  If we lose focus we might start to doubt our abilities, our direction or even our purpose.  We can become disappointed with ourselves, our progress and our performance.  But the Word of God tells us to not let our hearts be troubled and that we are the righteousness of God.       

   While the world around us may succumb to the bad news that bombards us daily, we must stay resolved that God sees us, not as failures, but as his righteousness.  Mistakes happen; we may make poor decisions and often experience setbacks, but that does not change the love that God has for us.  Jesus’ sacrifice at Calvary where he took on our sins, proved his love for us and with the acceptance of that love we radiate that righteousness.  So walk today with your head up and your shoulders back.  No need to be embarrassed if things are not running 100% on target right now. Keep trying. God is your greatest cheerleader.

Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a GREAT day! Don't be distracted; stay focused on your ourpose! Be blessed!
