How many of us have been through something traumatizing or something crippling that looks like there is no way out. Circumstances can be daunting and challenges are rarely viewed as an opportunity. That is where most of us put life down and pick up whatever instead. What if we put stress and death down and picked up life? Life in Christ. That is where hope is found, and opportunities are made possible. Life in Christ is not easy, so I will not even attempt to mislead you in thinking that it is. The faith walk is not a cake walk, it is real and challenging. It is a lifestyle and takes hard work and perseverance. Through God all things are possible not easy. The work is rewarding and worth it. God requires you to decide for yourself free will, and you commit to following Him with all your heart and you receive blessings and rewards here on earth and in heaven. You put the work in and receive payment. With Satan, you get all rewards upfront and they are borrowed and false (like a mirage in the desert). Your payment is due after and it is huge. The payment is demanded and comes in installments of pain and suffering, misery, despair, and depression. Sound familiar. Don't do it. Change your ways and follow God. Grow in Him and watch all He can do for you if you will just let Him. In this book, I explain how God took a kid from the ghetto and transformed him into a soldier for Christ. How to walk with God, follow Jesus Christ, and live empowered by His Holy Spirit. Know God be transformed and live empowered. Look for Crooked Road to the Cross by Don H. Will. Coming soon.
