                                    For with God nothing shall be impossible. Luke 1:37
                                
                            
                                    God has never broken a promise. He promises that we are new creations in Christ!

                                    For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  Jeremiah 29:11
                                
                            
                                    Substances offer fleeting pleasure. Jesus gives eternal pleasure.

                                    Don't follow the wrong crowd or be in tempting places. (Find yourself new playmates and a new playground!).

                                    Don't be "stiff-necked". Open your heart! Let God in.

                                    When I fill my mind, body, and soul with that which is good, it leaves little room for that which is bad.
