Melissa Hartwig / Next Generation Ministry Assistant
Life isn’t always easy and it is full of decisions. We have many obstacles and trials to overcome. As I go through life I strive to keep my eyes upon Jesus. To try and look at people and things the way God does, to leave to Him what is His and to do my part as well.
There are two verses that reminded me of these things lately. John 16:33, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” And Romans 12:18-20, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “‘VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,’ says the Lord. ‘BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM, AND IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS ON HIS HEAD.’” Good reminders that God’s got it!
