Life

Some times, life can be so cruel with its ups and downs; its quirks and bends;
 its thorns and thistles.
There are troubled spots, tiresome days; frantic times---
Times when we hardly know whether we are coming or going.
Turbulent waves are tossing us side- to- side with seemingly no one to rescue;
 no peace and no end in sight.
These are the times just to step back; take a quiet moment to whisper a 
 prayer to the One who  knows and sees all-
 To the One who can grant us Grace; to the One who has never been 
   known to fail; to the One whose strength will always prevail; to the Great
Spirit of Creation who gave us all Life to live to the fullest-
To be at our best at all times for the Great Spirit within us is stronger than
  that worldly spirit that is always causing us undo stress; undeserved 
    frustration and unnecessary aggravation.

The Great Spirit(GOD) created us; made us; blew His Breath in us and 
   gave us- each of us- a great task:  the task of  living the abundant life;
Never settling for less, but with determination and perseverance made
us to be "more than conquerors" over the problems in this life and-
No matter the task, "greater is He who is within us than he who is in the
  world.

For this world, as it is, is only temporary; but the Great Spirit is everlasting
and shall always be so no matter the physical circumstances.

 Keep your eyes on Him and  your mind in tune to Him and there is nothing
  too hard or impossible for Him.

He's Got the Power to resurrect; to restore; to keep; to uphold; to 
re-elevate us to our rightful position as spirit beings--moving, breathing,
living as He commanded and intended from the Beginning of Time.
