IMAGE!
Psalm 42:11
"Why are you in despair, O my soul?
And why have you become disturbed within me?
Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God."
"THE VIEW WE HAVE OF OURSELVES WILL DETERMINE OUR VIEW OF GOD!"
"WE MUST SEEK TO CONSTANTLY RECOGNIZE OUR VALUE IN HIM!"
When a person recognizes how fragile they are & how dependent they are of God for everyday life provision, they can see God for who He truly is.
He is the Creator and we are His creation, therefore, He is in absolute control.
When we come to the realization that there is a void in our live’s that only God can fill & that He is willing to do it, we realize that we have HOPE & VALUE!
But when we fail to recognize that GOD IS FOR US, we limit God to the frailty of man.
We make Him out to be as weak as we are!
Thus, failing to see & achieve our true potential!
This causes a person to place little value on so Great a God!
"HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD!"
"PLACE YOUR HOPE IN CHRIST!"
2 Timothy 2: 5 ATHLETICS
"An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules." ~ (2 Timothy 2: 5)

"TAKE A SPIRITUAL INVENTORY DAILY!"
Question of the Day:
"DOES MY CROSS BEAR WEIGHT OR IS MY CROSS HOLLOW?"
1 Corinthians 9: 25
"Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it for a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable." ~ (1 Corinthians 9: 25)

Fulfillment!
Matthew 21:28-31a
“But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, ‘Son, go work today in the vineyard.’ And he answered, ‘I will not’; but afterward he regretted it and went. The man came to the second and said the same thing; and he answered, ‘I will, sir’; but he did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father?” They *said, “The first.”
ACCOUNTABILITY: The fact or condition of being accountable. One's responsibility.
IT IS NOT THE SAME TO 'SAY' AS IT IS TO 'DO!'
IT IS NOT SO MUCH WHAT WE 'COMMIT TO' BUT WHETHER OR NOT WE 'FULFILL THAT COMMITMENT!'
"INTEGRITY WILL ALWAYS LEAD TOWARD FULFILLMENT!"
"GOD SET OUT TO CREATE THIS WORLD & DID NOT STOP UNTIL HE HAD COMPLETED HIS CREATION!"
"JESUS MADE A VOW TO HIS FATHER THAT HE WOULD STAND IN THE GAP FOR HUMANITY & HE FULFILLED HIS COMMITMENT EVEN WHEN IT MEANT DEATH ON THE CROSS!"
How could Jesus keep such commitment at the cost of His life?
"BECAUSE HE KNEW WHAT WAS AT STAKE!"
"THIS WORLD NEEDS SALVATION!"
"BUT THEY DON'T KNOW IT!"
"WE, AS CHRISTIANS, ARE NOT GOING TO EXPRESS THE LOVE OF CHRIST WITH OUR WORDS AS MUCH AS WE WILL WITH OUR ACTIONS!"
