From Gary... Birds, rainbows and faith

















Birds blocking a rainbow; wouldn't you know??? People are like that too, some people just can stand others being happy- they have to do everything in their power to wreck things.  Paul encountered this and overcame it- here is how...

Philippians, Chapter 1
 12  Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News;  13 so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ;  14 and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear. 15 Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.  16 The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains; 17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News. 

The Good News is just that- GOOD NEWS!!! If we have our eye on the prize of heaven, then it really does not matter what others do.  We don't have to have our reward at the end of the rainbow, our reward is already with us because of faith.  Birds just fly- it is what they do and Haters gotta hate, likewise it is what THEY DO!!! Things work out in the end; we just have to be faithful!!! I just wish the birds would get out of the way once in awhile- that's all!!!
