“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”

ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST INTO YOUR LIFE, REPENT OF YOUR SINS, AND BE SAVED FROM AN ETERNITY IN HELL.

“I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your unfailing love and your faithfulness, for you have so exalted your solemn decree that it surpasses your fame.”

GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES AND PRAY, REPENT OF YOUR SINS, GIVE THANKS TO OUR ETERNAL FATHER, AND ASK JESUS CHRIST INTO YOUR HEART TODAY. GOD LOVES YOU AND SO DO WE !!

BROTHER IN CHRIST,

THE ROAD TO SUCCESS IS NOT STRAIGHT,
THERE IS A CURVE CALLED FAILURE,
A LOOP CALLED CONFUSION,
SPEED BUMPS CALLED FRIENDS,
RED LIGHTS CALLED ENEMIES.

YOU WILL HAVE FLATS CALLED JOBS.
BUT IF YOU HAVE A SPARE CALLED DETERMINATION,
AN ENGINE CALLED PERSEVERANCE,
INSURANCE CALLED FAITH,
AND A DRIVER CALLED JESUS,
YOU WILL MAKE IT TO A PLACE CALLED SUCCESS !!!!!!

ROCKEFELLER,HIS ACCOUNTANT WAS ASKED "HOW MUCH DID JOHN D. LEAVE?"THE ACCOUNTANT REPLYED?"ALL OF IT."{ECCLESIASTES 5 :15 "NAKED A MAN COMES FROM HIS MOTHERS WOMB,AND AS HE COMES,SO HE DEPARTS.HE TAKES NOTHING FROM HIS LABOR THAT HE CAN CARRY IN HIS HAND."}ALL THAT STUFF THAT YOU HAVE---ITS NOT YOURS.AND YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE ABOUT THAT STUFF?ITS NOT YOU.WHO YOU ARE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH {"ALL THAT STUFF"}.{LUKE 12 :15 JESUS SAID,"LIFE IS NOT DEFINED BY WHAT YOU HAVE,EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE ALOT."}HEAVEN DOES NOT KNOW YOU BY THE PERSON WITH THE NICE HOUSE 2 CARS AND A BIG BOAT,THE KID WITH THE NEW BIKE,THE WIFE WITH A BIG DIAMOND RING AND EAR RINGS TO MATCH.HEAVEN KNOWS {" YOUR HEART"}THERES SOME OF US THAT HAS LITTLE BUT PROUD OF WHAT WE DO HAVE AND WORKED FOR,GOD KNOWS THAT TOO..{ 1 SAMUEL 16 :7 "THE LORD DOES NOT LOOK AT THE THINGS MAN LOOKS AT.MAN LOOKS AT THE OUTWARD APPERANCE,BUT THE LORD LOOKS AT THE HEART.}WHEN GOD THINKS OF YOU AND ME,HE SEES YOUR COMPASSION,YOUR DEVOTION,YOUR TENDERNESS YOUR LOVE FOR ONE AND OTHER AND MOST OF ALL THE LOVE FOR HIM,OUR LORD ,OUR FATHER...GOD LOVES YAS ,WE LOVE YAS ,HAVE A BLESSED DAY, YOUR FRIEND IN CHRIST,,FROM THE RIVERBOTTOM,,,RON.........PRAYERS FOR ALL!
