How to Overcome

You and your spouse not getting along? The answer is a common goal, a common purpose.

Your children driving you crazy? The answer is a life mission that you can model for them.

Is your job boring, or not what you dreamed of? The answer is to not work for yourself.

Are you strangled by addiction? The answer is fellowship, community, and belonging.

Has a handicap followed you since you can remember? The answer is rejoicing in your strengths, not your weaknesses.

Is your mortality hard to accept? The answer is being thankful for where you have been, and excited about where you are going.

The answer is focusing your life on loving and serving God, as well as other people.

You may not agree, and that’s ok – but I think the answer is Jesus.

Psalm 34:18:

The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.

Look at the stars with your parents on a clear night, and tell me: There Is No God.

Spend a day at an aquarium or zoo, and tell me: There Is No God.

Stand over a loved one’s grave, and tell me: There Is No God.

Watch earth come to life again in the colors of spring, and tell me: There Is No God.

Spend a day or two alone in the woods or desert, and tell me: There Is No God.

Hold your newborn baby for the first time, and tell me: There Is No God.

Watch a West Texas sunset, and tell me: There Is No God.

Spend a day serving others, and tell me: There Is No God.

Laugh with a best friend until you are nearly unable to breathe, and tell me: There Is No God.

On your deathbed, in your last few hours, tell me: There Is No God.

The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
