Rocky Balboa and the book of James

It ain't how hard you hit, its how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward! ... Rocky Balboa

Been thinking of some of my camp friends who are going through some tough times.

James said it this way: Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.

The world is a HARSH place. Divorce--Sickness--Hurt--Pain--Death
But if you really, really, really, believe in God and that Jesus is His son, well, then, you can rest assured that He has prepared a place for you.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.

That is heaven....the most beautiful place you can't even imagine.

God loves all of us so much despite our misgivings. Do not let man get in the way of God for you. Man's faults are the reason Jesus died. God loves you that much. Read His word and learn it for yourself and pray to Him.....do these things and YOU will start to SEE HIM.....

Sound crazy?
I don't think so.
