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 to 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 a Sunday and the reality of 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 directly and indirectly affected 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.”
