The Ultimate, Final, and Beautiful Truth~

Greetings,

This past week my home state of Florida has been the scene of several horrifying news stories. The tragedies that have taken place are beyond belief, and I have been riveted to the TV for the latest updates.  Throughout the last few days I have been whispering urgent prayers for the families of all the victims.

But does it even make a difference?  Am I wasting my time? Does God even care?

My dear brothers and sisters, I do not have all the answers.  I only know the worst thing any of us could ever do is let our faith die.  If we turn away from God, where else can we turn? 

Consider the following statements:

Forty-nine people were senselessly murdered.

A young singer was murdered.

A little boy lost his life while on vacation with family.

Now please let us all consider this powerful Bible passage - John 14:1-3.  Christ Himself is speaking, and He declares the ultimate, final, and beautiful  truth:

"Don't let your hearts be troubled.  Trust in God, and trust also in Me.  There is more than enough room in my Father's house.  If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?  When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am."

Amen...

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to not have troubled hearts. Thank You that there is a place for us in heaven prepared by You. How amazing!  Thank You that You will come and get us at the right time.  We look forward to always being with You.  One day we will have perfect peace, joy, security, and love!  We also pray for those who are suffering right now that this TRUTH would provide them comfort.  So many are hurting and need the miracle of peace from You; provide it right now. In Jesus' name, AMEN!
