Today’s devotional and scripture was hard. It’s about hitting rock bottom and that we need to redefine that so we can see Christ and move forward
\n———–
\nAccording to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
\nPhilippians 1:20<\/a>\u202d-\u202c21 KJV
\n———-
\n“The depths of emotional oceans, the end of ourselves, the roads that seem to lead nowhere, they all finish at the foot of a cross sunk deep into the bottom of a rock called Golgotha. And the man who met his end on that rock, Jesus, is the reason that we can all have a new beginning.” YouVersion Curiosity of Faith.<\/p>\n
