An Urgent Plea

I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth;(John 16:12-13)

Yes, there have been some troublesome times of late and there are more to come. I am not just talking about the weather either! There is tension between nations. There are families facing illnesses. For some there is threatened career changes or housing issues. This world is not easy and going at it alone only makes it worse. Yet we can know the One who knows all things! God made us . . . He loves us . . . and He thinks highly of us! He wants us to want Him. As we see throughout the Bible, not just stories, but real situations of real people who followed God, God indeed cares. Walking with the Lord is so much better than walking alone. Despite the challenges, things worked out pretty well. If you know God, you understand. If you do not, I URGE and PLEAD with you to make a commitment to ask God to become REAL to you today. You will never be the same!!!

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written:“For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.(Romans 8:31-39)
