Delight yourself in the Lord and He will grant your heart's desires. Psalm 37: 4
What a wonderful promise that He gives us. It happens to be my favorite verse too. For no matter what I am going through, when I meditate on that one scripture, I am encouraged once more. I am bold in my faith for I know that He will do what He says He will do. He has given me such inner peace that it shines through me on to others. And that is the power of the Holy Spirit. My fervor and love for God comes from my deep gratitude that He saved someone like me, forgave me and loved me enough to call me to Him. Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ? Do you know that He died on the cross for you so that your sins would be forgiven and for you to have eternal life? Do you believe in Heaven? Do you believe in Hell? For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16. It is more than a sign you see held up at football games. It is the basis of Christianity. It is the eternal promise of hope we all share. Not just for some, but for all. Jesus died so that WE all would be forgiven and live with His Father forever for this life on earth is temporary. So many people try to achieve everything here on earth. They do whatever "it takes" to obtain wealth, status, power, possessions and yet in the end, can any of it be taken with them? All we are left with at the end of our lives are our life's choices. To believe or not to believe. I tell you this, if there is a chance that I am wrong and when I die, nothing happens, than so be it. But if there is the chance that I am right and there is a hell that is very real where those that deny Christ are sent to for eternal damnation, then I win. What about you? What if you are wrong and there is heaven and there is hell? Then what?
Lord, I pray for those that are lost for I know you came to seek and save all of your children. So that we would nor perish but have everlasting life. I ask today that you use me in anyway you choose so I that can be a vessel for you in helping someone see the truth. May this be the day the veil is lifted from their eyes and they know that you are real. I ask that they come to you and give you their hearts so that you can dwell within them and guide them through their days and bestow upon them your love, mercy, grace, peace and joy. That they are unable to contain their gratitude and they in turn want to share their good news with another. I pray that we all pay it forward again and again until all your children come home once more. It is in your name I pray. Amen.
