More Than A Conqueror???? Naw...... Not Me!

I am almost convinced that we will never "arrive". That we will always be working on something in our lives. We all have our "stuff". So... be gentle with others... and be gentle with yourself.

Romans 8:37 says we are more than conquerors. ....... I guess that is in our makeup. I have always thought it was a choice... to conquer or just roll over, cover my head until it's over. Hmmm.... perhaps that the same test keeps coming back around.

We were created to conquer. We have to. Perhaps that is why all these tests and trials come our way.... not for punishment. Not because we are not loved.... but because we, as humans are born conquerors! How can you conquer unless......... yep.... that's right.... unless we have something to conquer. Ok, give me my t-shirt.... Kevin The Conqueror!!!

So easy to say.. yet... harder to work out in my every day life.

I am going to try to relax and enjoy the ride!

No I.D. required..... Just faith!

A paradigm. Without faith it is impossible to please God. Therefore.... we will always have situations that come into our life that require us to utilize faith. Looks like we will never come to a place where there is smooth sailing because .... we want to please God and He..... wants to reward us...... and that my friend, is a good thing!

Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
Hebrews 11:6

Of all people... I would think I would have it smooth sailing. Why not? I have a good job, a good wife, great kids... I'm good looking (no comments). I live in America. I have good health... ya da, ya da, ya da! But still.. most days are a struggle to not get down and discouraged. I think it is related to my post above. Strange huh? Any thoughts?

• To help us.... God even gives us the faith that we need to please Him... and to get through any situation.
• Ephesians 2:8 Says For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

  So..... if someone doesn't believe does that mean that God did not give them that gift of faith? No... Romans 12:3 says For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
• Everyone!!!!!!!! has been given that measure of faith. As we apply, use, rely on, exercise, this faith... it grows!
