No chance at all," Jesus said, "If you think you can pull it off by yourself. Every chance in the world if you trust God to do it." Luke 18:27

Steel is iron plus fire, diamonds are coal plus tremendous pressure. Steel without fire is just iron, diamonds without tremendous pressure are just coal. My mind and heart began to ponder; what if we considered all of our life, every aspect of it, in light of the truth that GOD IS WITH US! No matter what; mountain tops, valley's, in good days and really tough ones, in the monotony of life and in the moments we cherish...how might it change our perspective? Recognizing the presence of the LORD in every circumstance and comprehending the significance of His presence will result in greater understanding of the LORD and the abundant life He promised! In short, God changes everything!
