Take a Hand

I was having a cup of coffee the other day and noted a mom and little boy walking down the sidewalk. He was walking along taking in everything around him. Looking upward, backward, off to both sides, just all around, not paying much attention to where or what he was about to walk into or fall off of,,,, And why should he,,,, he had mom’s hand and he knew she was paying attention to lead him away from any hazards or trouble,,, well maybe he didn’t exactly understand that, but there was a natural trust already instilled in him about mom.

I can still remember those early days,,, I didn’t worry too much when I was with mom or dad,,, I just knew they were in control and would keep me from harm, even before I knew what harm was ??? There was a real comfort in knowing what I didn’t really understand,,, but just knew it was so.

Well we can still “Take a Hand” as we go through this life. It is the hand of God through Jesus Christ.  It is exactly the same feeling and comfort as we had with Mom, Dad, Grandma or Grandpa. We know when we take his hand, he is in control and will guide us along and keep us from harm. We know this because he has instilled it in every one of us from creation. We really won’t understand it until we have passed through this life,,, but we know it is true.  We can fight it and we can be in denial, but nothing will change it. We are all still children of God and he is still our Father.  Accept his son Jesus, ask for his forgiveness and Take the Hand of God to lead you through the hazards and harms of this world.

Now you can, again, walk along through this world knowing that he is in charge and paying attention for you. Find Jesus !!!!!

Truth

Truth never changes. If you start with the truth you never have to remember what you said. It will always be the same. Lies are just the opposite,,, you always have to try and remember the lie and each time you tell it,,, it is always different. Live the truth in peace or live the lie in frustration.

Your Book

As we go through life we are just writing our Book of Life. Each day is a new page and each new experience or major change,,, a new chapter. As in all good books,,, some chapters are fun and exciting to read/live and other chapter are dull and boring,,, but they all follow a common thread of our views, feelings, beliefs and decisions as we pass through our life.

When we are young and growing, the tread is thin and flexible and may even break a few times as we start to land and form our basic belief structure and opinions of life and where we stand in it. In these early stages of our book, it is easy to change our direction and keep right on writing without any problems for the readers (Society). It can be accepted readily by society because we are young and still learning/developing.

As we get older, we start to harden our outlooks and build our walls to either keep people out or keep people in. We tend to lose our ability to change, either because we don’t want change or we become afraid of change. We dig ourselves into a deeper and deeper hole of focus. As with all physical holes/caves that I have been in, the deeper you go, the darker it gets and the less you can see of the outside.

You know that you are going the wrong way, but it becomes harder and harder to turn yourself around. One of the major reasons, in my mind, is peer pressure, at all ages. The people and associates around you that have been following your book, don’t want to accept any change in direction. They have come to know you from your book and usually want you to continue in that same direction. You see they hate change as well. So we keep going deeper in the wrong direction by convincing ourselves that there is some miraculous light at the bottom of the hole.

Well luckily there can be a miraculous light in any of life’s black holes, no matter how deep or how dark. It is the light of the Lord Jesus Christ into our lives. You can turn to him and call on him for light, and you will have it. Your world in the dark will change to light as well as your priorities and outlooks. You will no longer feel alone or lost. As it says in the bible, John 8:32, You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

I pray you find the Light of Jesus to shine in your life to guide, complete and change your life !!!
