2 Peter 1:2 "Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. 3 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness. 4 Through these He has given us His very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the Devine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires." Evil desires and defeat take many faces. These passages remind me God has given us everything we need to “keep on keeping on” in Him, so we can SHINE and point others to Him. Yesterday I was downhill skiing and saw a woman on the hill who's perseverance and joy radiated. She was learning to ski as a paraplegic. When she fell over it looked hopeless from my vantage point, but each time she kept getting up and her face was full of " try" she had an infectious smile. She diligently listened to her instructor and kept trying. By the end of the day she was carving down the hill so beautifully. She was still falling occasionally but not as often as at first, when she fell she shook it off, put on her smile and “go” attitude. She was a joy to watch and very inspirational!!! God gives us everything we need to “keep on keeping on” Today is the day the Lord has made! No matter what your handicap, ( and we all have many) be inspired to go forth and SHINE!!😇🙏🌸♥️🦅
