No God, no hope
Know God, know hope
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seeing some things lately that bring home how sad and broken a life without faith really is, mainly because there is no hope when things go wrong, no vision of any possibility of change. There is no God in Whom to trust with the outcome of the circumstances that must be faced alone, without His presence to comfort and strengthen, and overcome. That is a very lonely proposition.
My prayer is that if you don’t know Him today, that you would seek Him out. He loves you and His promises (of salvation, of His presence and hope in Him) are waiting for you when you come to Him.
I’ve never been sorry that I asked Him to come into my life so many years ago now. I read the gospel of John and gave the mess that was my life then into His hands. He took it and changed things by the work of His Spirit in my day to day life. He has shown me His love and His faithfulness in everything on a daily basis. Life is not always easy but there is comfort in knowing His presence and hope is found in trusting in His goodness and His plans for my life, despite my circumstances.
I’m not alone.
Come to Jesus…..

Come to Jesus, Chris Rice
Lyrics
Weak and wounded sinner
Lost and left to die
O, raise your head, for love is passing by
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus and live!
Now your burden’s lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain, so
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and live!
And like a newborn baby
Don’t be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk
Sometimes we fall, so
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live!
Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain, then
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live!
O, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night
And when you can’t contain your joy inside, then
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live!
And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory’s side, and
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live!
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live!

Ann – my favorite song – the one I chose to be baptised to. Thank you for playing it this morning and reminding me of God’s scandalous, unconditional love. ❤
