Hi, this is Jolyn Victoria. Thanks so much for listening to the podcast and thanks for

supporting the ministry. We believe you're going to have an awesome 2024, healthy, productive,

and favor-filled.

God bless you today and enjoy the message.

God bless you.

It's great to be with you today,

and I hope you'll stay connected with us during the week

through our daily podcast or

YouTube channel and social media and you can come visit us in person. We'd love to

have you be a part of one of our services. I like to start with something funny and I heard about this little girl.

She was sitting on her grandfather's laugh and she noticed how wrinkled his face was.

As she contemplated the difference between his and hers, she said,

Granddaddy, did God make you? He kind of laughed and said, yes, honey, he made me a long

time ago. She then asked, did God make me? He said yes, he made you just a little

while ago. She thought about it a minute, said, Granddaddy, God's getting better, isn't he?

All right, y'all say like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what

it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do. Today I will be taught the word of God. I boldly

confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive, I will never be the same. In Jesus' name. God bless you. I want to talk to you

today about building yourself up. It's good to have people that cheer us on and speak faith into our life, a spouse that

compliments us, a neighbor with an uplifting word, a friend that's always there to encourage.

It's healthy when you have people that make you feel valued and appreciated.

But it becomes unhealthy if you start depending on them to keep you cheering out.
