There is a story of a black boy who was sitting down at the porch of his house, observing a man standing by the square right across the street, selling balloons, inflated with helium.
He became intrigued with the man's attitude as he would release only blue, red, white, colored balloons and see them go all the way up in to the skies, but never the black ones. He thought the man was racist.
He decided to cross the street and inquire from the man why he wouldn't release the black balloons.
"Sir, why do you only let go of the other colors but never the black ones?"
The man then did let go of one of the black balloons and showed the young boy that it'd go up too.
Then he told the boy, "It doesn't matter what color the balloon is. What makes it go up is what's inside."
LESSON:
The day you realize that what makes the difference is not how much money you have in your bank account, how many friends you have, the handsome/beautiful boyfriend/girlfriend you have beside you, nor your academic level, BUT THE SPIRIT YOU CARRY INSIDE YOU, the Spirit of God, then you'll succeed in life.

Man, Pastor Luke that is Powerful and True!!! If we do not have the Holy Spirit or Spirit of GOD, how can we Truly be successful in life! Man if it is garbage in the inside, then our outside and everything we do will also be garbage!
