Many times we feel like our lives, our marriages, our homes, our children and our relationships are out of control. Take heart; there’s hope in the Lord. Last year, I received twenty emails from people in one week’s time who asked for prayer for their children. They told me their children were on drugs and alcohol and were running with gangs. Parents, hope in Jesus. He is faithful. What He says, He will do.
It is vital that we as parents set the example for our children. If we don’t want them running with people who will lead them astray, then we shouldn’t be close friends with people who will tempt us to do things displeasing to Jesus. We expect our children to behave in a manner that show they have been brought up the right way. Yet, sometimes we act like Jesus hasn’t raised us properly because of the things we say and do.
Jesus is the anchor of our soul. He is stedfast, loyal and honest. He will never lie to us. When He tells us that He Loves us, we can cling to that with all our hearts. Jesus is Love! He is the rock of our foundation and the hope of eternity. He never changes, as He is today, He will be tomorrow. He suffered an agony and heartache that we will never be able to comprehend. Yes, Jesus Loves us and proved it by His sacrificial death.
Do you have this hope in your heart? Have you asked the Christ of Calvary to forgive your sins, come into your heart and save you? Don’t put it off because you may die even as you read this.
