It is 5 in the morning, still dark outside. Yesterday was a real busy day at work. It was payroll Monday, my co-worker had to take the guards place for half of the day until we could get someone to come in early. Mucho goings on in the workplace scene today. {placed the remainder of the workload into my homework drawer to save for today) Through it all, in it all God is soooooo good to me. He has provided my with all I need to do my job, and to do it well most of the time. He has given me a wonderful life in spite of my sinful nature. It is through Jesus Christ's death, burial and resurrection that I have hope. Hope for today, tomorrow and for eternity with him.
Death has no hold on me, it just provides a portal from this life into the presence of an eternal life with Jesus. It is my daily desire, prayer that my children and the people I work with will find salvation and know the Jesus I know.
What can I tell you about him that would cause you to accept what he has already done on your behalf that you too may have eternal life? Is it that he died for your sins, past present and future, that he loves you and wants you to know him, how do I tell you about my Lord and savior? How do I tell you about the depraved lifestyle he saved me from, the utter blackness of my own life, the hoplessness I felt before Christ? The newness he has provided, a new spirit that dwells inside of me even though I battle daily with an old sinful nature, I have victory through Christ who dwells within me!
I wake each morning knowing he loves me, no matter what circumstances I find myself in, I have the assurance that he is with me, he will see me through all things . When life hands me difficult times, it is Christ who sees me through those times. When I received word that my precious granddaughter had drowned, I could face life because even though I knew she was physically dead, I knew because what Christ has already done on that cross for me, I would see her again one day.
There was a time in my life, when my own infant son died, that I did not have that hope. I found myself in a world of insanity, uncertainty and it almost destroyed my life. Praise God the father for the hope that I have through his son Jesus Christ that I may never find myself again in that dark place of hopelessness again, and while tragedy will most certainly come again (unless the Lord returns ) I will know for certain, I am not alone and he will see me though it.
If nothing else, that should cause a normal human being to want to know Jesus as Lord and Savior of their mortal and eternal life ! I would not want to suffer through life one single day without my precious Lord and Savior as my constant guide and comforter. Do you know him? If not, why not ?
