When we are faced with life's challenges we can be discouraged, get tired, and become weary. What we need is motivation, encouragement, and a helping hand that keeps us going. That's the idea of GRINDIT! We find our strength to endure when we focus on Jesus. God's own Son wasn't exempt from life's challenges and He didn't do anything to deserve what he went through! And yet He did...willingly, therefore we find our hope in Him. en-us episodic We at GRINDIT want to encourage people to keep going, to keep grinding, when life gets hard. Quitting is not an option!

What does that mean? The dictionary defines it as being happy and having peace no matter what but is that what Paul means? Not hardly...Happiness depends on outside circumstances. If the outside circumstances are good, then I’m happy but if not, well then, I’m either mad, sad, worried, or some other emotion. Interestingly enough, God is not concerned about our “Happiness” but He is concerned about us and he knows that outside circumstances will affect us and make us like a rollercoaster. But...that doesn’t have to be the case! We can be, like Paul, to learn to be “content”! No matter what the outside circumstances are, we can be at peace because we have Jesus. content, contentment, happy, peace, peaceful, chaos, worry, worrisome, tired, enough Paul says he has learned to be content in any situation he finds himself in?

Jesus begins to tell him and he interrupts to let Jesus know he had been doing all of that stuff his whole life. He's a sure in for heaven...right?!?! Not so much...Mark says Jesus loved the guy and he says to him, "Go sell your stuff, give all the money to the poor, then come and follow me." The guy's countenance changed immediately and he was heartbroken. He had a lot of stuff and he loved it too much. He couldn't let go of his possessions so he walks away from Jesus sad. What is worth hanging on to that would keep us out of heaven? rich, young, ruler, Jesus, happy, sad, wealth, wealthy, poor, stuff The rich young ruler comes running up to Jesus in excitement, kneels down before him, and asks what he needs to do to inherit eternal life.
