Romans 8:37

Romans 8:37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

STORY TIME: 
There once was a peasant. She was a thief, a liar, a prostitute, a criminal.. But the King, knowing all of  her wrongs, looked at her and said "I know she is a criminal, and her debt can never be paid, but I see potential. Release her chains and set her free if only she will choose to make me Lord over her life!" The King takes in the peasant and clothes her in peace, patience, kindness, etc.. He makes her royalty and calls her His princess. He gives her every luxury in the Kingdom and keeps her safe by His name! All He asks is that she live her life for Him, and go out into the world daily and tell others of His love!! The new little princess starts off strong, she spends quality time with her King and goes out in His name daily to tell the hurting of His great love! Over time though, the princess gets frustrated with all the tasks Her King asks of her. She soon forgets of His love and affection. She stops spending time with Him, and she starts hanging out with some of her old friends. Before she knows it, she's begun doing all of the things she did before the King had given her a new start. One night she finds herself alone in the dark streets of her old town. All of her friends have left. She remembers her King's love for her, and soon is overwhelmed with shame. After thinking it through she decides to head back home to the Kingdom, where she knows she will once again be safe. As she starts to get up she hears some old familiar voices.. Her old friends liar, thief, and prostitute greet her again and remind her of all the fun they once had. They reassure her of their love, and for a split second, she forgets of the TRUE love, the King had shown her. 

You see, at times, we get stuck in this same place. We get presented with the option to sin, or to keep our eyes on the Kingdom, and we often forget of the Love our King has for us. Sometimes it's so hard to say no to the sinful fun dangling before our eyes.. But I challenge you today! Say NO! Your King has given you that authority!! Be MORE THAN CONQUERERS in your situation, and  keep walking until you reach the loving arms of your King.
