“If your faith remains strong, even while surrounded by life’s difficulties, you will continue to experience the untold blessings of God! True happiness comes as you pass the test with faith, and receive the victorious crown of life promised to every lover of God!.” -James 1:12 [TPT]

A Time to Think… 
“Everybody can be great…because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” -Martin Luther King Jr. 

A Time to Act…
On this Martin Luther King Jr. Day, think about this man who wanted us to get rid of bigotry, hatred, greed and so much more. He emphasized serving because that is what God wants us to do. It’s time to kick the hate and fill your hearts with the incredible grace of God and seek God’s strength to endure and trust that he is shaping you through every challenge.

A Time to Pray…
O God, thank you for walking with me through every struggle. Help me to hold on to faith and trust in your plan, even when the path is hard. Like Martin Luther King Jr., may I be ready to share your love at any time and live in my faith to help others. AMEN.
