Nothing You Cannot Do

From today’s reading…

I do not say this because I have lacked anything; I have learnt to manage with whatever I have. I know how to live modestly, and I know how to live luxuriously too: in every way now I have mastered the secret of all conditions: full stomach and empty stomach, plenty and poverty. There is nothing I cannot do in the One who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:11-13

In other words, bloom where you’re planted. Recognize the acres of diamonds right under your feet. Understand the fleeting nature of health and wealth, fitness and beauty, sparse and bountiful times, even majorities and minorities in Congress!

But know that one thing is not fleeting: your eternal soul. Know from whence it came, for it is you, and living as though you will live in eternal pain or eternal joy is the only way to…

Stay the course. Keep the faith. Endure.

Now go sell something.
