What if the great enemy of souls should for a while triumph over us, as he has triumphed over better men than we are; yet let us take heart, for we shall overcome him before long. We shall rise from our fall, for our God has not fallen, and He will lift us up. We shall not abide in darkness, although for the moment we sit in it; for our LORD is the fountain of light, and He will soon bring us a joyful day. Let us not despair or even doubt. One turn of the wheel, and the lowest will be at the top. Woe unto those who laugh now, for they shall mourn and weep when their boasting is turned into everlasting contempt. But blessed are all holy mourners, for they shall be divinely comforted.

Giving up on small obstacles will get us nowhere, but if we persevere, keep our eyes on the goal, and keep running, we can experience that elusive place where success and purpose become one. #7pillars #Pillar6 #Perseverance #tranformed #legacy (at Casa Diaz)

When you turn your life toward God's purpose, your dreams, goals, and desires come alive. You begin to see how important you are in God’s eyes. #LegacyLifter #7pillars #pillar4 #purpose #tranformed (at Casa Diaz)

The kingdom of darkness is not afraid of Jesus in you, its afraid of Jesus coming out of you!#legacylifter #tranformed #7pillars #pillar2 #persona (at Casa Diaz)

Take an honest child Feed him to the shadows And he will find a way To bury his morals With a darkness Far more suited to his tongue Than his skin And yours is far too truthful For him to resist the pull Of the sun smoldering Behind your eyes And his resolve shatters When your purest words Strike his insolence and His black tongue Commands the shadows To feed and devour The fire blazing on your tongue But they cannot stand the taste And they burst from his lips Ravage his soul Erupt from his eyes And he crumbles Into nothing, Ashes at your feet Dust on the wind
