"God sent his Son . . . so we could become his children." Galatians 4:4-5
We . . . were orphans.
Alone.
No name. No future. No hope.
Were it not for our adoption as God's children we would have no place to belong. We sometimes forget that.

The Bible.. Did you know that when you carry "the Bible", Satan has a headache, when you open it, he collapses, when he sees you reading it, he loses his strength, AND when you stand on the Word of God, Satan can't hurt you! And did you also know... when you are about to pass this on to others, the devil will discourage you, but do it anyway.

The Bible says, "Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it" (1 Cor 9:24 NKJV). In life you only get to run once, so run to win. To avoid stumbling or losing your place, don't look back. You can't change the past, but thank God you can learn from it and leave it behind. Don't be anxious about the next lap, focus only on the next step. If you miss that you may fall and not get up again. Before you know it you'll soon have more laps behind you than ahead of you, so make every lap count: "Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us."

And, perhaps most important, you need direction. If you have only a person but no renewed vision, all you have is company. If he has a vision but no direction, you have a dreamer for company. But if you have a person with direction-who can take you from this place to the right place-ah, then you have one who can restore your hope.

Christians are still people just like you. We are not perfect and we stuff things up somtimes. As for me (Anthony) my computer still drives me crazy, and some times I do swear at it because it will not do what I think it should do. Some times I feel like shooting it.

If you have any problems just talk about them to God, and ask God for some help with solving your problem. Be honest with God and God will do something to help you. And don't forget prayer is FREE and you can pary or talk to God any time of the day or night. When you are having a shower or driving your car to work or where ever you are going. While you are shoping, watching Tv or at the movies. Just talk softly or say a silent pray if you like. You can also pray while on the buss or train or at work. It is very easy to talk to God, just talk to God as if, you are talking to a good friend.
