THE SUN WILL SHINE BUT.......................


The sun always shines, but some days the clouds cover up the sunshine! No matter how positive you are, it is important to associate with those who are positive and encourage you rather than those who are negative and discourage you. There are two types of people in life.
Those who add to you and those who subtract from you, those who deposit and those who withdraw. You must decide which ones you want around you. It is like a bank account: people will either deposit and add to your dreams or they will subtract and take from your dreams. If the negative people continue to take and withdraw from your dream, eventually your dreams will be short of funds i.e "insufficient fund". The next step is bankruptcy, giving up on your dreams Then you start to settle for what life throws to you instead of determining your own destiny. Friend, wake up! Your 2015 is flying by. Follow your dreams and hang with those who add to your account.

Free but not cheap.

Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658),a great general and administrator,was appointed the 'Lord protector of England in 1653.He sentenced a
soldier to death for terrible crime.The soldier was to be executed by a firing squad as the curfew bell struck midnight. The squad was
prepared, the guns were loaded and were made ready. But the clock never struck! After a few Minutes, Cromwell sent some soldier to
investigate. They found that a young lady, the sweethheart of the man to be executed, had strapped herself to the clapper of the
huge clock so when it struck the side of the bell, her body took the impact but make no sound. Both of her legs were broken, one arm
was badly damaged, several ribs were cracked. Cromwell was so moved by her remarkable sacrifice that he ordered her sweetheart
to be freed, and said to the lady, "Your love has save him. No curfew bell will sound tonight". What a clear and practical illustration
of the free and costly forgiveness brought down to all men by Jesus Christ. Although we receive salvation as a free gift it did cost
God very dearly, even His only begotten Son, Jesus christ.
