What? Always? Nope, Not Possible! (1 of 5)
Although we take on many dares; there are some challenges we won't even consider doing!
We deem them as being impossible to do.
Many times our faith is challenged because all around us people and situations are screaming impossible, impossible; totally impossible!
Our emotions and society teaches us when we experience trials, bereavement, illnesses and all types of trouble, that all we can
do is to become hopeless, fall apart, to be evil-spirited and even commit emotional, physical or even spiritual suicide.
We are taught to hate others and even God when we experience the tribulations of life.

What? Always? Nope, Not Possible! (2 of 5)
Although we take on many dares; there are some challenges we won't even consider doing!
We deem them as being impossible to do.
Many times our faith is challenged because all around us people and situations are screaming impossible, impossible; totally impossible!
Our emotions and society teaches us when we experience trials, bereavement, illnesses and all types of trouble, that all we can
do is to become hopeless, fall apart, to be evil-spirited and even commit emotional, physical or even spiritual suicide.
We are taught to hate others and even God when we experience the tribulations of life.
If we are not careful, we will conclude that impossible mindset about the following Scriptures:
1 Thessalonians 5:18- Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
Philippians4:4-Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Yes, it really is possible to submit to and obey these Scriptures.
Yes, it is possible to rejoice and to always be full of joy NO MATTER WHAT we are experiencing!
But, how do we do this in spite of the pain that we might be experiencing?
We must acknowledge the love and presence of Daddy-God with us in each situation we encounter.
We can't focus on the situations or persons who are the instruments of our challenges.
But we are to focus on the Lord Jesus and His promises to be with us, to protect us and to help us.

What? Always? Nope, Not Possible! (3 of 5)
Romans 8:28--And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them.
This does not mean that we don't seek help for what we are experiencing, or that we remain in dangerous situations, NO, NO, NO!
But there are always reasons for rejoicing in Christ; pleasant memories, experiences and favor even in times of affliction, distress, and persecution.
He is always the same; His grace is always sufficient and always gives peace and pardon.
His love and commitment to us is everlasting.
This mentality is what was continuously taught by Jesus, as being of great importance and use for the comfort of Believers and the honor of God. (Gill)

What? Always? Nope, Not Possible! (4 of 4)
We are also encouraged in Ephesians 5:20- Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Even for adversities; also for blessings, unknown as well as known (Col 3:17; 1Th 5:18). (Jamieson-Fausset-Brown)
To God the Father, in the name of Christ Jesus concerning you; who has made known the will of God, ... who for, and in all things, Christ gave thanks to God, and had His will submissive to God's will in every circumstance of life. (Gill)
However, to be thankful in all circumstances and to rejoice in the Lord always is learned through us practicing it daily.
YES, WE CAN REJOICE ALWAYS--IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE! YES WE CAN when we count the blessings in the situation we are in and to consider that Daddy-God will rescue, lead and guide us in the way of peace.

What? Always? Nope, Not Possible! (5 of 5)
We will find that if we learn to rejoice always:
that our lives will be stress-free!
We will be emotionally and spiritually healthy when we submit ourselves to the way which the Lord-God instructs us to do.
Remember to keep your tear-stained eyes and emotionally-hurting heart looking to the Lord God who is constant in who He is and in what He promised He will do.
He will bring good and growth out of our tears and pain!
The Lord God will hold us up before we drown in our misery.
NO MATTER WHAT WE EXPERIENCE, the Lord God is strong and mighty in our lives!!

Precious Nuggets
We know what we are, but not what we may be.
If we all did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves.
Each new day greets us with no rules except for the rules we place on it. Greet this new day with open arms and endless possibility. Steve Maraboli Write this down: My life is full of unlimited possibilities. Pablo
It is a denial of the divinity within us to doubt our potential and our possibilities.
Any moment called now is always full of possibles.
