In Spite of Pain We Honor God

"In spite of such pain we honor you as the God". . . .These are words taken from "A Prayer for 9/11", World Trade Center 10th Anniversary, by Bishop T.D. Jakes. It is a prayer that brings healing and hope not only from the terror and the pain of 9/11 but for any and all the pain, hurt, discouragement life at one time or another brings each of us.
        -Bishop T.D. Jakes

Today's Word - FAITH

FAITH:  -Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 
            Hebrews 11:11
This was the Faith of the Ancients and today remains the faith of believers.

Let nothing disturb you.  Let nothing make you afraid.
All things are passing.  God alone never changes.
Patience gains all things.
If you have God you will want for nothing.
God alone suffices.
~ Saint Teresa of Avila

We are called to Persevere

--So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. 
You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God
you will receive what he has promised.
       Hebrews 10:35,36
