Each day of the future, time binds like a suture that punctures the present becoming the past. And layer by layer it forms a conveyer, transporting me forward, unbidden, unasked.
And try as I may just to live in today, my mind gazes out through the fog and the mist, where worry and dread start to fill up my head, regardlessly grinding my joys into grist.
The one sure solution when mental pollution has darkened the sun, wiped the blue from the sky โ I blow on the ember of faith and remember: My Lord is the Sovereign whoโs reigning on high.
Heโs loved me forever and holds me together, as onward and upward and forward I trod. He helps me to stand as Iโm holding His hand, My Jesus, I love you, my Lord and my God!
โFear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for Iโฆ
“One of those listening was a woman from the city of Thyatiraย named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth. She was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heartย to respond to Paulโs message.” Acts 16:14 NIV (emphasis mine)
When you are praying for someone to accept Jesus, ask the Lord to open their heart to respond to the Gospel.

Is your heart breaking? Are you in deep despair? Is depression crushing you? Even when you think you can’t hang on, God will hang on to you. No matter what life is throwing at you, no matter how weak your faith might be right now, God will hold you fast.
How do I know? I know because He has done this for me. It has been over 60 years since I asked Jesus to be my Savior. Through many trials, through many sorrows, through all my many failings, He never let me go.
He never said, “That’s it! I’m done with her. She’s gone too far now. Enough is enough!”
When I doubted, He held me fast. When I rebelled, He held me fast. When I went astray, He held me fast. When I was in deep despair, He held me fast. When my heart was broken, He held me fast. This is why I love Him and why I praise Him unashamedly.
It is when I acknowledge my own shortcomings, vulnerabilities, and weaknesses that I can grasp the depth of His great love and forgiveness and understand just how much I really need Him.
If you are searching for love, forgiveness, and mercy, come to Jesus. His love surpasses all understanding. He loves you, yes you.
