FORTITUDE
definition: th strength of mind to overcome obstacles with courage
* How do we develop fortitude/ endurance?
1) Embrace God's purpose in your situation.
God's purpose = faith + character + salvation
2) Nuture your spiritual roots
Be more dependant on God; patience = endurance, comfort = encouragement
3) Direct your attention to Jesus Christ!
don't get distracted on thngs/circumstances, focus on God; & it'll be fine (:
4) Use your experience to help others.
**your life message is not th strengths you possess, but th weaknesses; thus turn it arnd
for weaknesses to turn into strengths! :D
**be a self example to those arnd you, just lyk how Jesus teaches us to be lyk him.
5) Rely on God's power.
**on situation when u tink it's dead end, it's th tym when u reali need to rely on God.
**must believe that whatever th saviour has plan for you,
it's for th good and that you'll shine! (:
**you'll be th head and not th tail; above and not beneath! (:
6) Expect God to Bless you!
**expect God to bless you in every way in your life
I WILL NEVER QUIT!!!!
thats th overall outline of sermon today!
and i find it super super good!!
set apart some thoughts upon circumstances when u are reali lost,
when u are reali in th mist of giving up.
and u start questioning why thngs are happening in such a manner.
why not reflect upon th pirioties(sp?) u set in ur life?
okays, i tink thats all for today! :DDDDD
