When you were at your lowest point God said to you, “I know you want to leave me, but I refuse to let you go!” It was God’s unchanging hand that held you when you were in the midst of the storm. God protected you from danger that you didn’t even know was there. You are His child at He has held you in His arms with such loving care. Smile today, and know that God is with you today just as He has always been.
Good day to you all! I know that sometimes the days can seem like they are long, and they may seem to run together, but understand that God has a purpose for every minute of your life, and you are instrumental in His plan!
But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. 2 Timothy 3:1-5
We have all heard stories about ‘the good ol’ days’. There is always someone who is more than willing to reminisce about a “better” time. We have all heard about the days when people could leave their front door unlocked. We have all heard about the days when people could sleep with their windows open with no fear. We all want to feel safe and protected so we take steps and measures to try to ensure our safety. We keep those windows closed and we make sure that we lock the double bolt on our front doors. We lock up our cars and tell our children not to talk to strangers. Yes, we are cautious in this unpredictable, unstable, world that we live in today.
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world. John 16:33
Dear Reader, I want you to know that God has His hands on you. Dear Reader I want you to know that you can lock all of your doors and windows and activate the alarm on your car, and you still cannot match the safety that is in God’s loving arms. People will try to convince you that this world is falling apart. They will point to the news and say that these are the signs of the time. However, I want you to know that God has given us a sign of the time. When Jesus died on the cross for our sins He gave us a new sign. Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world. I may walk through the valley of the shadow of death, but I shall fear no evil. Dear Reader I want to encourage you to tune out those who would try to convince you that the world is falling apart. When you believe in God almighty, you are under the protection of a legion of angels. Have no fear because there is nothing that the world can do to you. Don’t let the troubles of this world trouble you! Fear not Dear Reader God has got His hands on you!
You are beautiful, loved, and blessed
John Reed
