Just how much can you #endure?  It seems to me that there are more #diseases, #storms, #crimes, and #media #slanders each day portrayed  in live video feeds from around the world.  There is pain and suffering in each of our lives through the life and death of loved ones.   I have experienced sickness, childbirth, surgery, migraines and watched my children and grandchildren suffer ongoing disabilities.  Through the years I have observed many people in public and private settings and the ones I have wanted to emulate have a calm assurance and peace that passes their circumstances!  What made the difference that was being manifested?  With further searching, I found they had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ who is the Messiah, Yeshua, the Light of the World, Glory of Israel, the Hope, the Redeemer, and their Salvation.  God is the answer..Heb.12:1-3 “Seeing that we are compassed about with so many witnesses, let  us lay aside every weight and sin which easily besets us and run with patience the race set before us by looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him ENDURED THE CROSS, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God for He endured such contradiction of sinners against Him.”  We each have a limited lifespan — so what matters?  1Peter 1:23-25 “Be born again, not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible by the Word of God which lives and abides forever.  For all flesh is as grass and the glory of man as the flower of grass.  The grass withers and the flower falls away, but the WORD OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER”  I am putting my faith and trust in the Living God who endures forever.  Psalm 117 “Praise the LORD FOR HIS MERCIFUL KINDNESS IS GREAT TOWARD US: AND THE TRUTH OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER”
