It’s All About Him
Truly we have been a blessed nation, and many of us have had it all. But that’s all changing now, and many will despair because it’s all disappearing like smoke in the wind.
And whatever peace we’ve known will also be a thing of the past, just as the Bible predicts. So where can we go to find real peace? A hiding place? A place where someone cares and can comfort us when we’re hurting?
Jesus is our only hiding place. He cares when we are hurting, when we’re in grief and despair. He’s the only safe harbor for any of us. Everything else is temporary; only the love of God will remain when every other distraction is gone.
John 3:16 says this: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should have everlasting life.”
From the beginning of time, the only salvation man would ever find has been in Jesus. He died to buy us back from the clutches of death and hell, and He’s still on the throne in heaven, interceding for us, loving us.
But we can only come to Him with humble hearts, confessing our sin, and accepting His gift of salvation. Jesus never fails. When the world is in chaos and nothing else makes any sense, those who have believed in His name and accepted His salvation will find hope even in despair and loss. Because it’s not about us. It’s about Him.
He died so you could become a child of God, so you could stand before God without condemnation, holy and beloved. If you want to be a child of God, confess your sins and ask Him to save you. He will transform you, changing you into a new creation with a new heart and new desires. From that moment on, you will belong to Him, and you can call upon His name to comfort and sustain you no matter what’s going on around you.
It’s all about Him. That will become clear very soon. It’s time to decide. Which way will you go?
Because of His great love,
Nancy
