Good thought for the day - Please know where to go for PEACE

"I have told you these

things, so that in me you

may have peace. In this

world you will have

trouble. But take heart! I

have overcome the world."

--John 16:33

A thought to consider: Is there something missing in your life? I went to church my whole life and considered myself a "good" person. Something was missing, however. Jesus waited politely while I figured it out. I had Jesus in a box - safely shut out from my pain and sorrow. I held Him an arm's distance from my imperfections. I thought I could fool Him. I had everything and nothing. God sent someone to call me out...to question my relationship with Jesus. Did I really believe Jesus was who He said He was? Gripping a steering wheel one night as I drove to work, I cried out to Jesus. I could not do life alone. The mask had to come off. I prayed for Jesus to come into my life. That changed my life forever. It can change yours. Giving your life to Jesus and accepting His gift of salvation does not magically take problems away... It gives problems, hopes, dreams fears a God-inspired perspective which strengthens us to face anything. Is it your year? All it takes is a prayer. All it takes is letting go and letting in...Jesus is waiting. May this be your defining year.
