13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
Matthew 7:13-14
There is hope and a future with Christ Jesus. What a wonderful promise all of God's children can hold on to. Whenever I grow weary or need a word of encouragement I read Jeremiah 29:11 for it tells me my God has great plans for me. I know my walk with Him is not the easiest road traveled but the path through the narrow gate is the only choice for me. I have lived life my way doing what I wanted and I can honestly say the result was destructive. You may think you are "getting away" with things but a life of free will that is filled with sin is lonely. Words that were spoken by the Lord many many years ago and then recounted later in the greatest Book ever written prove to be prophetic for He knew His children would need His wisdom and counsel. Whatever it is you face today, just know the Lord is with you. You may not see the light at this moment but I know He will fulfill His purpose for you and for me by His grace for His glory. So trust Him today and hold on to His words. Let them bring you comfort and strength and most of all hope.
"And Lord may these words written today bring all of your children comfort and encouragement. Life is so hard and I cannot imagine doing it without You in the center of it. May we all draw closer to You and allow ourselves to replenish and renew our spirits during these difficult times. We love You and trust You and we vow to continue to pray ourselves through this storm for we know You hold a beautiful rainbow of life for those that believe. Show kindness and mercy to us today Lord and it is in Your name I ask these things. Amen."
