Matthew 3:16-17 King James Version (KJV) 16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

"So you, too, must keep watch! For you don't know what day your Lord is coming." (NLT) -Matthew 24:42
If you knew Christ was returning within a year, how would that change your perspective in life? When we realize His return will bring pain for those who don't recognize Him, sharing our faith in Christ becomes more urgent. We want our friends and family to experience the joyful news that God heals our hurts and loves us with purity. No one knows the day or the hour of Christ's return, but no one also knows the minute of their last heartbeat. Take a moment tonight to pray for an opportune time to share your hope with a loved one who is on your heart.

A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls. (NLT) -Proverbs 25:28
God has given us a unique ability through the Holy Spirit...self-control. Unfortunately, we do a not-so-good job of letting our emotions, finances, and appetite for food get the best of us. Merely, shrugging our shoulders and accepting ourselves the way we are is not honoring to God. We should not allow ourselves to be at the mercies of our uncontrolled appetites. It is entirely possible to change. After all, we can do all things through Christ.
