LIFE AWAY FROM GOD

Two brothers go to a lake to play with a little boat that they had made.
The younger boy excitedly places it in the water and watches it sail. The
boat slowly begins to drift away, until it is out of his reach. With great
fear, he cries out for his elder brother, to save the boat. The elder boy
immediately picks up some stones and begins to throw it at the boat. The
younger boy starts to yell at him saying, what are you doing, I said save
my boat, not destroy it!!!!?. The elder boy responds, Relax. I know what
I am doing. He begins to throw the stones, past the boat, causing ripples
to form, and that draws the boat closer to the shore. Finally the boat is
back in its owner's arms. A lot of us are sometimes like that little boat.
Sin causes us to drift away from God. Then we find so many things going
wrong in our lives and wonder why. Sometimes God throws stones at us, not
to harm us but to cause ripples in our lives that will draw us back to Him
and not further away. The more we live our lives according to what WE
think is right, the more we will be discouraged, because there is NO LIFE
AWAY FROM GOD. God is our source of power, strength, peace and
joy. Whatever your problem may be, don't look at it as a punishment but a
challenge to better your self. God has the power to turn things around in
your life and He will do it. Problems are always there, but for a reason,
that is to make us better and not bitter. How we choose to respond to our
problem will determine the results that we get in the end. This is our
God!!!

He can turn a MESS into a MESSAGE
A TEST into a TESTIMONY
A TRIAL into a TRIUMPH
A VICTIM into a VICTOR

Great is our God!!
