As a father of children and a pastor of a church I am, at times, overwhelmed by what people have to endure – the skeletons from yesteryear together with the uncertainty of tomorrow. Both of these, in the shadow of all you have survive today. I often ask myself, “How do people cope without God in their lives?”
So many Christians are confused by the gap between what the minister says on Sunday and reality on Monday.
We are told not to worry, everything will work out in the end.
The reality of being a Christian is not a promise of easy street or guaranteed success. We are affected directly and indirectly by the broken world we live in. I don’t know why so many “good” people suffer, but I know “good” people, if they hang on, will get through it. If you are just hanging on, here is a word for you.
Jesus said, “My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.” John 17:15.
God loves you.
PS. Quote from a movie, “Everything will be okay in the end. If it isn’t okay, it’s not the end.”
