OVERCOMING THE OBSTACLES=OF OUR LIFE!

 

OVERCOMING THE OBSTACLES=OF OUR LIFE!

 

We all have OBSTACLES=

In our life=health obstacles=

Financial obstacles=

And relationship obstacles

 

For example=I am fighting=

Stage II prostate cancer right now

I have had 13 of the 25 treatments=

IN stage 1=and then a second stage

OF TREATMENT is to come

 

We can OVERCOME ALL of

Our obstacles=if we stay CLOSE

To God the Holy Father=

And we stay close to=

OUR LORD and Savior Jesus Christ

 

“…….He could NOT SEE him

Because of the crowd

 

For he was=short in stature=

So he ran ahead=and climbed

A sycamore tree

In order to see Jesus…….”                                                                                                   Luke 19:3-4

 

Today=we read

About Zacchaeus=

He was short in stature

AND WANTED TO see Jesus=

So he OVERCAME the obstacle

By climbing a tree

 

Being creative=OVERCOMING

THE OBSTACLES OF OUR LIFE!

 

We too can overcome

The OBSTACLES in our life

If we are CREATIVE=

If we are patient

 

Stay close to God

Stay close to Jesus

KEEP your FAITH churning!

 

“And I tell you

That you are Peter

 

And on this rock

I will build my church

And the gates of Hades

Will NOT OVERCOME IT”                                                                                                   Matthew 16:18

 

“I have told you=these things

So that in me=

We may have peace

 

In this world-

You will have trouble

But take heart!

I have OVERCOME THE WORLD”                                                                                        John 16:33

 

Zacchaeus’ encounter with Jesus-

Led him to EMBRACE=

A radical change=in his life

 

We should all be CHANGED

When we MEET GOD=

When we take Jesus

Into our lives

 

We should have the CONFIDENCE

That we can OVERCOME

All and any obstacles

 

“……..For everyone born of God

OVERCOMES THE WORLD

 

This is the victory

That has OVERCOME

The world=even our faith

 

Who is it that overcomes

The world?=Only the one

 

Who believes=that Jesus

Is the Son of God”                                                                                    1 John 5:4-5

 

What obstacles=are you facing

IN YOUR LIFE?

 

Stay CLOSE to God the Father

Stay close to Jesus=

And you will overcome

The problems=and OBSTACLES OF YOUR CLOSE!

 

And like Zacchaeus=you will

See Jesus=AND OVERCOME

THE OBSTACLES=IN YOUR LIFE!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our Holy Father God=who SEES ALL THINGS!
