I know one of the greatest principles on success; if I persist long enough I will succeedt was courage, faith, endurance and a dogged determination to surmount all obstacles that builds bridges.
Don't let go of your dreams. If you have determination and belief in your dreams, you will succeed in spite of your desire to let go.

Personal Story Of The Day
Have you ever received an email or text from a friend on holidays that recounts the ordinary events happening round about them. Has anyone told you about the cleaner vacuuming the carpet or taking out the rubbish? Not likely.
An online publication called the Journal Of Mundane Behaviour says these routine events fill most of our time. The managing editor, a sociologist, says everyday life is valuable, since we spend nearly 60 percent of our lives doing things like travelling to work and shopping for groceries.
We don't often consider the apostle Paul's ordinary days, but he wrote, "But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God," (2 Corinthians 6:4). "All things" included not only harsh persecution but also "needs, sleeplessness, purity, kindness, love" and other everyday experiences (v4-10).
Many people overlook God's capacity to bless us even though we are washing the car or doing the dishes... all living actions can be blessed by God.
Jokes Of The Day
Two blondes are walking in the desert. One is carrying a lamppost, the other one has a telephone booth.'Why are you carrying a telephone booth?'
'When the lions come, I put it down, get into it and I'll be safe'.
'And why are you carrying an lamppost?'
'When the lions come, I'll throw it away, so I can run faster.'
************************************
A faith healer ran into his old friend, Max and asked him how things were going.
"Not so good, was the pained reply. "My brother is very sick."
"Your brother isn't sick," contradicted the faith healer, "he only thinks he's sick. Remember that, he only thinks he's sick."
Two months later they met again and the faith healer asked Max:
"How's your brother now?"
"Worse, groaned Max, "he thinks he's dead."
************************************
During a recent publicity outing, Hillary Clinton took some time off to visit a fortune teller of some local repute. In a dark and hazy room, peering into a crystal ball, the mystic delivered grave news. "There's no easy way to say this, so I'll just be blunt: Prepare yourself to be a widow. Your husband will die a violent and horrible death this year."
Visibly shaken, Hillary stared at the woman's lined face, then at the single flickering candle, then down at her hands. She took a few deep breaths to compose herself. She simply had to know. She met the fortuneteller's gaze, steadied her voice, and asked her question.
"Will I be acquitted?"

Riddle Of The Day
What is it the more you take, the more you leave behind?Answer to Yesterdays Riddle
Be you ever so quick, with vision keen, by your eyes, we are never seen. Unless perchance it should come to pass, you see our reflection in a looking glass. What are we?
Your own eyes.
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Truth And Life Still Rise Together
He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Matthew 28:6. References from Matthew 28:1-15.
Second century Christian writer Justin Martyr wrote a book in which he defended the faith against the arguments of Trypho, a Jew. In his Dialogue, Justin accused, 'You have sent chosen and ordained men throughout all the world to proclaim that a godless and lawless heresy had sprung from one Jesus, a Galilean deceiver, whom we crucified, but His disciples stole him by night from the tomb, where He was laid when unfastened from the cross, and now deceive men by asserting that He has risen from the dead and ascended to heaven.'
A century after Jesus' death and resurrection, it appears that the lie manufactured by the Pharisees was still in circulation (v14). The religious leaders had remembered Jesus'prophecy of resurrection and asked for every precaution to be taken so that the body would not be stolen. The power of Rome sealed the tomb, but it wasn't enough!
Following the Resurrection, the Jewish leaders bribed the Roman guards to spread the lie. The soldiers, who could have been severely punished for their negligence, probably reported to the Jews out of fear. To believe that the same disciples who had fled somehow gained the courage to commit a serious crime made no sense, not to mention that sleeping soldiers could not have witnessed the crime... but people believe what they wish.
The first witnesses to the Resurrection were the women who had remained faithful. To the news, He has risen, they responded with holy fear. They rejoiced because their Master was alive. They obeyed the angel's instructions, hurrying to share the good news with the remaining eleven disciples. When Jesus Himself appeared to encourage them, they bowed at His feet in worship and humility (v8-10).
The benefits from the Resurrection are the foundation of our faith. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit proves Jesus' sovereign power over life and death. And it declares Him to be the one and only Son of God (1 Cor. 15:12-21).

God Is There All The Time!
Joshua 1:9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
Do you often get discouraged with current jobs and duties? Do you feel that you are being over taxed with burdens that seem almost impossible to face, and you just can't get ahead of things? How many times have you started something, only to quit in defeat?
Writing these posts every day is not an easy task. You sometimes run out of ideas, or your brain just doesn't function properly, or your memory escapes you for a time. I know I sometimes wonder why I ever started writing them. But, then I remember that God said he'd never forsake us, never leave us. He is always there to help, if we call upon Him. He tells us to never be afraid, not to let things get us down.
When the negative influences of Satan cause you to doubt, resist him, and he will flee. Don't ever give in to what he says, because he's a liar. He will try anything to get you to give up, to stop, to give in to his lies! He knows, that if he keeps on pestering a person, that most of the time, that person will get discouraged. But God says He will be there for you, during those times, if you would only call upon Him for His help. He never leaves us, but He sits on the sidelines, letting you decide if you are able to do the thing by yourself, or if you need His help. So, keep your eyes open, be strong, be not afraid, because GOD is with you always!
