Friends, cling to the Lord now more than you ever have...He will not fail you. Read scriptures and draw your strength from Christ. This world is full of suffering, but it is also full of overcoming. It is not our strength, it is HIS that allows us to endure. It is when we feel like we are being swept under the tide of pain and adversity, that our Savior gives us His hand and puts our feet on the solid rock of His truth...He will never leave us or forsake us...when we are going through hard times, Christ is never more present and more real, but we have to focus on Him and not our difficulties, or losses and not our surroundings. We will be persecuted here...we will suffer...it is promised...but those things peel away our self-sufficiency and make us realize our need for God... losses and tests make us have faith more like a child...because we must depend on God to provide for us, as a Father provides for His children...the enemy thinks he is harming us...and perhaps he is in a physical sense, but in a spiritual sense, he is driving us further into the arms of our Lord and Savior... and God is redeeming what the enemy meant for harm into something that has eternal rewards. He cannot take away our heavenly treasures. The enemy cannot pluck us from Christs hand, He cannot keep Christ from being with us, ministering to us and pouring Himself into us...only we can do that with our own lack of faith or when we focus on everything but Christ! We need to encourage each other... pray for each other... support each other... we need to remind each other to keep pressing in to Jesus...keep looking to him in the midst of your trials and grief and loss...He will not fail you...He will see you through and give you more of Himself in the process. He is our hope...there is no other name on which we can call and be saved. Here are some scriptures to encourage you tonight. Romans 5:1-21 James 1:12 Hebrews 12:1-15 May you grow in your knowledge of Him and in His grace
