God bless!

          Over the last year God has definitely allowed us to do "our thing" and many of us have enjoyed this while others have been full of regrets. Why the difference? Our God will never force us to do the right thing, He tells us what to do and what not to but ultimately, He leaves it up to us to decide.  Why is this relevant? When the word from God is released at times we receive it with joy and at times we want to fight it but ultimately He provides all the required resources for us to make the correct choice. Why do we fight it? It's our natural tendency to choose the path of least resistance (easy way) and the offerings of the world seem that way until the end result is exposed. The path of righteousness involves work and perseverance and many simply don't believe they can finish the race. I have great news for us today, if we allow the training process to develop within us we will find the reward and joy we are seeking. It doesn't seem fun during the process of righteousness  to do the "unpopular" or take the harder path but the reward is the ever so desired Harvest!

Getting ready to reap my joy!

Pastor Joell A. Perez

No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. (Hebrews 12:11 NIV)
