Purity 247

Today’s photo was shared by the Trinity Methodist Church in Hudson. Pastor Kenneth Coddington understands the gospel of Jesus Christ and his church’s billboard on Joslen Blvd outside of Hudson NY has proclaimed the power of prayer to take away fear and bring peace throughout the Covid 19 pandemic.

I share it because I, like Pastor Ken, know that our faith has power. Those of us who have faith in Jesus as the Risen Lord have the hope of eternal life and the new life that can pull us out of a life of darkness into His marvelous light! Ask me how I know!

So as you spend the weekend I want to encourage you to do two things.

1. Remind yourself of what you got. If you got Jesus, you got this! There is no condemnation for those in Christ. So if you have any negative thoughts about yourself, stop them by reminding yourself of who you are according to God:

– worthy of knowing the truth – priceless

– Loved & accepted by God

– Free from the power of death – eternal – right after your last breath you are with the Lord – be fearless!

– Given power – when you call on the name of Jesus – He gives you strength that you wouldn’t have on your own! So call Him, talk to Him. He also gives you power to say no to temptation (deliver me from the evil one) and to follow His leading for you life. So follow.

2. Be a light to those around you. Let people know that you love them but more importantly there is a God who stands above it all who loves them too and sent Christ to save us all.

So go out this weekend, take pics, enjoy all the possibilities before you, and show God and everyone else you understand you have the light of the world living inside you: And Shine!

Enjoy your weekend and God bless you all!
