Verse of the Day: Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13-14, ESV)
…What’s awesome is that Jesus, the Good Shepherd, wants to take our burdens and give us victory over our battles. It is up to us to trust in Him and have faith in Him, and to know He is God. That no situation is too big for Him to handle.

Who am I as a Christian? “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?

God is the one who justifies; who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.” Romans 8:31-34
