New Challenges

We all face new challenges each day. Some are more difficult than others. I am so joyous to know that no matter what challenge we face God is always with us.

Around 4 a.m. this morning, Chris’s grandmother passed away. Georgia was a very kind and gentle woman with nothing but love to give. I never heard an unkind word come out of her mouth. She was such a blessing in our life.

Georgia is going to Heaven, the most wonderful place. So wonderful our human minds cannot comprehend. What a joy it will be when we are all gathered together in Heaven. I will be so happy to see her when I arrive.

Now as the challenge lies ahead to put her to rest, we rely more than ever on God’s love. Only His love can provide our hearts the comfort we need when a loved one passes away.

Do you know how much God loves you? He loves you so much that He gave His only Son to die for you. Could you allow your child to be murdered for another person’s sins? God did. He loved us so much that He allowed the blood of His own Son to be shed so that we would be forgiven from all the bad things we do.

John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. (NIV)

Do you love God? Commit your life to Him and He will take care of the rest. Let Him show you His love. All you have to do is ask Jesus to come into your heart and forgive you for the sins you have committed. Ask Him to help you not to sin anymore. Trust Him. Let Him guide you. No matter what you have done, He still loves you and wants you to come to Him.

We are not guaranteed another day on this earth. Please make things right with God.
