Philippians 4:12
THE SECRET
The secret
It burns like fire
The power of Jesus
Lifts US higher
Trust the Savior
He knows your name
The Spirit of the Lord
Affirms He's the Way
He's the Way-the Truth-the Life
Though we think our way is better
Pride be damned - Only the Cross
Prompts complete and total surrender
I've learned the secret
Of His resurrection power
It carries all our burdens
Through each and every hour

I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13
Principles for Living
Day 269 GriefShare
The Bible says there are powerful principles for living that can be learned through grief and loss.
"I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.
I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation . . ."
(Philippians 4:12).
Unfailing strength is found in a relationship with Jesus Christ.
That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day.

That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day.
For our present troubles are quite small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us an
immeasurably great glory that will last forever! So we don't look at the troubles we can see right now;
rather, we look forward to what we have not yet seen. For the troubles we see will soon be over,
but the joys to come will last forever. (2 Corinthians 4:16-18 NLT)
Sharpen your focus on the things in life that have lasting value, and contemplate your eternal life,
Sharpen your focus on the things in life that have lasting value, and contemplate your eternal life,
being certain about where you will spend it.
Saving Jesus, my strength, my hope, and my joy are rooted in You.
Saving Jesus, my strength, my hope, and my joy are rooted in You.
I want to live with You forever in heaven. Amen.
