Pathways That Lead to Christ

 Yes, by now we all know that the virus is still here.  But, more important, God is still here and near.  Take one day at a time and you will see.  By the evil one; don't be deceived...  God is with you everywhere you go!   Never give up or give in.   With God, there is power within..   When you feel like giving up.   All you have to do is look up...     And, you will see the good Lord!

We are all going through trying times. We have the coronavirus, bad weather, some facing financial challenges and others facing layoffs and other financial concerns. All of these are reasons to possibly give up, be depressed or feel anxious and hopeless.

No matter how you are suffering or where you are, don't give up. That is what the evil one wants you to do. He wants to discourage you so that you focus on the negative and awful situations, instead of focusing on Christ and all He can do to help you. Keep in mind; Christ can't always take away the pain and suffering but He will be with you as you go through the trials and tribulations of life. He died so that you and I might live and have life abundantly. He died for us so that when we die and believ...

I hope you like and enjoy the article. Toni Star 2021 7 Practical Tips to Achieve a Positive Mindset By Larry Alton June 28, 2019  The “power of positive thinking” is a popular concept, and sometimes it can feel a little cliché.
