UpWords with Max Lucado


Someone needs to hear this today.....most of us are facing something...the difference is in the individual.
Be encouraged...You will Get Through This -


Stay the Course
by Max Lucado


Revenge builds a lonely house. Space enough for one person. The lives of its tenants are reduced to one goal: make someone miserable.  They do.  Themselves!
Keep a sharp eye out for the weeds of bitter discontent. God’s healing includes a move out of the House of Spite, toward the spacious ways of grace, away from hardness toward forgiveness. Can he really, you wonder?  Can He really clean up this mess? This history of sexual abuse? This raw anger at the father who left my mother? Can God heal this ancient hurt in my heart?
Begin the process of forgiveness.  Turn your attention away from what they did to you to what Jesus did for you. Stay the course. You’ll spend less time in the spite house and more in the grace house. And as one who’s walked the hallways of both, believe me, you’re going to love the space of grace.  You’ll get through this!








God bless you friend

Love in Christ..
