Prisoners of Hope

"Those who make themselves prisoners of HOPE...will receive double what they lost.

These are the people that make their minds up that

"all things really do work together for

good to those who love God....."

Each individual ingredient may not be exactly good....

but when you put them all together, it does get good.

Maybe some of you still have some ingredients coming.

So hold on...don't give up.

Take inventory about you've been thinking about.

Man goes where his mind thinks.

If you are depressed...ask yourself what you've been thinking about.

When you've had a day of self pity...ask yourself:

"What have I been thinking about?"

When you're jealous of someone. Ask yourself:

"What have I been thinking about?"

You can turn your life around by choosing to think on something good.

When an ocean liner has been going full speed ahead in the same direction for a long time, it's gonna take a little bit to turn that baby around.

Little by little....you will get there.

It's not going to happen overnight.

How many times do we go around the same mountain over and over and over and over and over again for years....the same problem, the same mountain??

We have to tell ourselves,

"No! I'm not going around that mountain again!"

We have to say: "God help me.." over and over and over again.

We can't do anything of ourselves apart from Him.

Don't give up...you're a work in progress."
