Never Give Up, "Be Faithful"

                                        2 Corinthians 1:24
                         "Not for that we have dominion over 
                            your faith, but are helpers of your
                                   joy: but by faith ye stand"

          We should never give up on Christ!  We must always be obedient in all things.  Our Lord and Saviour, loved The Father and was obedient all the way to the cross.  A man who had no sin, carried the sins of this world to the cross so that we could have "Eternal Life."  Christ could have gave up on God and us but He loved God and mankind; Christ faith stood from heaven to earth; through death, and back to His throne.   
         When we give up on Christ, I am not talking about all at once, because it begins a little at a time.  How does it get this way?  Let's use Shopping; "the buying trend,"  We all get that itch to buy something we have wanted and desired for so long, so we start our search.  We go from store to store with excitement in our hearts to get our prize.  Well we don't find it so we start buying things we don't really need.  Our desire to find our prized item overtakes us and we lose focus on why we wanted it; so when we finally get it, we realize it wasn't worth all the trouble we went through to acquire it.
         That my friends is what happens when you find yourself giving up on Christ.  Your saved and secure in Christ; however just like that prized item, Satan will put sin in your mind time and time again.  Then you start thinking about it more and more and before you know it you have played with sin.  That's when we ask ourselves; "How did I get here again"?  The best I can tell you is,  be watchful, be faithful, be obedient and be aware of Satan's attacks on your faith.  But most of all never never give up on Jesus Christ!    Amen!!!

                                    May God Bless You
                                     And Your Families
