Kids, I believe you have all the makings of a Spiritual Hero. If you did not, you would not have spent the time reading these postings. For some reason, you were meant to be encouraged. God wants you to know your great value and Their desire to meet with you individually and frequently. While They will not beg, They are calling you to become the Spiritual Hero you were intended to be. They understand when you feel down and out and even depressed. Even Christ said: “Why have you forsaken me?” His statement indicated the separate and distinct presence of His Father was nowhere to be found. They (Elohiym) are not jumping in to interrupt a process designed to prepare you for Spiritual Heroism and your eternal position. All heroes have bad days.

So, when you are having a challenging day or are feeling unsuccessful, identify which individual relationship with The Trinity needs your attention. Then, renew your hope by reinforcing your position with one of the members of the God Family, and your character will be strengthened. Ask yourself:

• Do I see the purpose behind my existence?
• Do I see God’s handiwork everywhere I go?
• Am I frustrated with my position in life?
• Do I feel the Kingdom of God is open to me when I call?
• Do I see patterns and reasons for my path when I consider my life?

Most of these answers: NO? Your relationship with the Father needs immediate attention.

• Have I have felt grateful multiple times today?
• Did I pray for the people who came to mind today?
• Have I shared Kingdom realities with someone today?
• Do I feel pain when a spiritual leader falls or Christian principles are assailed?
• Did I contribute to a ministry focusing on the needs that burden me?

Most of these answers: NO? Your relationship with the Son needs immediate attention.

• Did I find myself thinking about God’s direction during my activity today?
• Do I look for something positive in people that make me angry?
• Have I met with someone today who needed encouragement and built them up?
• Have I tried to help another see God’s Hand in challenging circumstances?
• Do I have empathy with those who don’t see God as gracious and loving?

Most of these answers: NO? Your relationship with the Spirit needs immediate attention.

Now read the statements below and determine whether you agree with them.

• I feel overwhelmed with life today.
• I find it easier to fix a problem myself, rather than let time take its natural course.
• Today I did not always look for the good in others or in my circumstances.
• I would not be proud of my epitaph if something happened to me today.
• Based on the world we live in, it is hard to maintain a positive attitude.

If the answer to most of these questions is YES, your attitude toward the universal process needs immediate attention. As you complete this analysis please remember that you have a promise that cannot be broken because you have a God that cannot lie. Finally remember the forethought that went into your image. God doesn’t create junk. You are the best.
