Having a Godly Appetite

“Bodily exercise profits little.” 
“Godliness is profitable unto all things.”
I think very few realize the victory, 
this truth of God brings.

Scripture also tells us “whatever we sow.” 
 “We shall also reap.”
Sin comes with a cost…  
And the price is not cheap!

“What profits a man if he gains 
the world and loses his soul?”
What is your ambition in life?  
What is really your goal?

Do you want to live a life entangled
in worry, defeat and despair?
I’m here to tell you that Jesus
 loves you and he does care!

This world can drag you down 
and cause you much shame.
Isn’t it time you reach out to Jesus?  
And call on his name?

He’s the reason we can have 
an abundant life each day of the week.
It’s the Holy Spirit and God's word 
 you need to daily seek

Only Jesus can bring joy and
 nourishment to your soul!
Allow his goodness to enrich you 
and to make you whole!

May there be an appetite for Godly living 
in what you do and say…
He can change your life and make you 
 BRAND NEW today!
