Claiming what?

If you say it, you claim it. This is something I think about often when I talk, or when I listen to others speak. Don't claim things are worse than they really are. We all struggle somehow, so be aware and make your decisions better today than yesterday. For if you claim it, then you really are.

 

I know that I spend a good amount of time playing on technology when Ellie sleeps, a clients color is processing or Steve is driving. There are times when I just read the news feed on Facebook and see such negative posts. Most of us are blessed beyond measure, have a roof over our heads, food in our fridge and a healthy family. But why do we claim to be unhappy, poor, stressed, lonely and sad. There is something missing inside each of us that feel this way, I believe. I believe that answer is a relationship with Jesus. He is our full filler,  sustain er, our refuge when we are weak. We need to claim victory as ours today and everyday. For when we have Jesus in our hearts and a relationship with Him we can be happy, prosperous,  less stressed, content and happy. 

I wish more of my friends knew Jesus the way I do. There is no harm is 'getting' to know Him. To study His word, worship in his house with other believers. What have we got to lose if we don't, you say. My answer is this: life everlasting, being blessed abundantly,  having help solving life's struggles, guidance when times are tough, not feeling so defeated or lonely all the time. God is awesome, talk to Him.

Thanks for letting me speak.
