Fight the GOOD fight, overcome yourself!

Are you growing, changing and becoming the person you should be? Each time I reach a goal, master a problem or overcome a weakness I think to myself; another step up the ladder of success. Then I find myself in another challenge. When will I find a finish? When Will I arrive at my full potential? Some questions do not have an answer.  So, I will keep on fighting the good fight>

10-17-2014    Mark 5:25-34

S.       25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

O.      A woman is healed by touching the garment of Jesus. Jesus tells her that it happened because of her faith.

A.      Faith is the foundation of my spiritual life. Faith saves, heals, supplies and keeps me. Faith is a gift from God. He gives everyone a portion. Faith will increase or decrease depending on how it is used (or un-used).

     P.      Father; increase my faith as I grow and become more like Jesus. Help me to overcome all doubt and fear. I                         commit my everything and my all to you. Amen.
