Rise & Serve: Great new day to you! On Sunday, February 18, 1987, Prince Rogers Nelson wrote the following words: “Some say a man ain’t truly happy, until a man truly dies.”  Happiness is temporary derived from the word luck or chance. Joy is permanent lasting forever inside of you and genuinely showing on the outside of you. No one can take it away. To “truly die” means to die to your “self”; your self(ish) ways, thinking, living, and being. When you recognize and accept that what will be…will be. When you let go of the conformity of this world, you become free and able to do just what you were created to do…love & do unto others as you would want done unto you. Remember, nothing happens by chance. Be encouraged. Be inspired. Be who He created you to be. #thebreakfastclub

Rise & Serve: Great new day to you! We all have a purpose greater than what this world would want you to believe. However, knowing what your purpose is in life is a privilege. And with such a privilege comes responsibility. Responsibility:  the state or fact of being responsible , answerable, or accountable for something within one’s power, control, or management. Be encouraged. Be inspired. Be who He created you to be. #thebreakfastclub

Rise & Serve: Great new day to you! Believing you can do it means you have faith. You cannot accomplish your purpose without faith! No matter what comes your way, shield and protect your purpose with faith. Faith…the substance of things hoped for…the evidence of things not seen. Be encouraged. Be inspired. Be who He created you to be. #thebreakfastclub

With Love Always,

From Charles Spurgeon’s “Faith’s Checkbook”
Full Reliance on God
May 23
For he shall deliver the needy when he lieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper. (Psalm 72:12)

The needy cries; what else can he do? His cry is heard of God; what else need he do? Let the needy reader take to crying at once, for this will be his wisdom. Do not cry in the ears of friends, for even if they can help you it is only because the Lord enables them. The nearest way is to go straight to God and let your cry come up before Him. Straightforward makes the best runner: run to the Lord and not to secondary causes.
“Alas!” you cry, “I have no friend or helper.” So much the better; you can rely upon God in both capacities – as without supplies and without helpers. Make your double need your double plea. Even for temporal mercies you may wait upon God, for He careth for His children in these temporary concerns. As for spiritual necessities, which are the heaviest of all, the Lord will hear your cry and will deliver you and supply you.
O poor friend, try your rich God. O helpless one, lean on His help. He has never failed me, and I am sure He will never fail you. Come as a beggar, and God will not refuse you help. Come with no plea but His grace. Jesus is King; will He let you perish of wants What! Did you forget this?
