"But not a hair of your head will perish. Stand firm, and you will win life."

Luke 21

"But not a hair of your head will perish. Stand firm, and you will win life." v18-19

Paul and his companions preached:

"We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God". Acts 14:22

No doubt we will have hardships - many times because believers choose to enter through the "narrow gate" (Matthew 7:13-14).  Some of these hardships will be physical pain/suffering and others emotional pain.  We must be prepared to endure as Christ provides life - eternal protection and salvation.  Live life with the end in mind...

My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are indeed great...great for reasons beyond my explanation.  Great to me because You know everything about me, including my sin, yet You suffered and died for me.  I am not worthy such a sacrifice.  Thank You Jesus.  Please forgive me for my disobedience to be bold, to spread the good news of Jesus Christ, and for my many other sins that I commit daily.  Please forgive me Jesus and help me turn towards You and away from my sins.  Help me be the man You intend for me and help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength.
