Do you think you are alone in your trials? Do you face day after weary day, worn out by the rat race and the so-called "reality" that "society has set up"? I was told this once. I was told in all sincerity by someone who felt they knew my path, that the true reality that I wouldn't face, is the 9:00 to 5:00 reality of the work force here in the U.S. I decided at that moment, that I had already received all the help I could possibly expect from this person, and I left and never went back! You see, MY reality is God. With God, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! The only thing we ever have to do is put our faith and trust in GOD. Not man! JESUS is ALIVE! You are HIS CHILD! There is no problem, big or small, that He can't fix! He created us! He alone can heal us of all our sins and weaknesses and illnesses. There is nothing we can't overcome. Absolutely nothing!
The economy is in the tank. There are people who have lost it all. No home, no job, no place to sleep, no food.....these are all real problems. But if we as a society turn our faces to God and ask His powerful help in every situation, He will show us the way to bring things back into perspective. Perhaps this has happened for a reason. Maybe He is trying desperately to get our attention and turn this country around. Maybe He wants us to "Love Ye One Another!" Perhaps he is looking for the Samaritans in this world. You know, the one who stopped to help the victim laying beside the road that the Doctor passed by on the other side of the road! Perhaps JESUS was that Samaritan. Perhaps you need the helping hand of Jesus today. Rest assured, HE IS ALIVE! And He want's desperately to help you know this in a personal way.
He is called a personal savior for a reason. When you go to church, and sing, and pray, that's all well and good. But out in the street is where it counts. What you pray in church is good. But what you do outside the church, everyday of your life, that's the proof of the pudding. You have to live your faith. As my Grandfather always said, "Talk is cheap! It takes money to buy whiskey!" Not that I want you to go out and buy some whiskey! I want you, if you are a Christian, to start putting hands and feet on your prayers. The Bible says, that "faith without works is dead!" We can't run to church on Sunday and pray up a storm, and then on Monday when we go to work, forget all about Jesus and plunge into the rat-race once more. He is alive and real today, and He perhaps want's you to help someone today. Maybe He is waiting for you to be that Samaritan.... Maybe He is the man laying by the side of the road, beaten and robbed.... Maybe this is the reality so many of us are blind to. We live in a material world. But we don't have to be materialistic. We can be spiritual and find peace and spread the word that Peace Can Be Found TODAY!
Are you walking your own path with God? Has your heart cried out in all the misery around us, for someone, anyone to make a difference? Maybe He is wating on YOU to make a difference....
Today, if you have Peace of Mind, share it with someone who doesn't. Allow God to work through you and reach out to someone with compassion. We are all here together for a reason, and not one of us is getting out alive! It's what we do while we are here that matters. It's not reality, 9:00 - 5:00, but the hours after your job when you go home and face all the things that need doing, and the children who need to be fed and bathed and helped with their schoolwork. Maybe that's your reality. Maybe you are so tired and you don't think you can go on. Maybe you are losing your home, your job, you may be ill, alone, scared, sick at heart.... Our Redeemer Liveth...and He Liveth in YOU. Make a statement for HIM today. Use the talents He gave you. Do something to help one person. Give from your heart, and God will reward you 7 fold. Don't brag about what you are doing, don't tell anyone. "when you do your alms, don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, and God who seeth in secret, will reward you openly!" Don't tell a soul. Only God needs to know, and He is watching all of us.
The clock is ticking.....the minutes are passing by. What are YOU doing with your time? The hour is late... one day the King will come. I for one am going with Him. To dwell forever in Paradise with the King of Glory. Let's make a difference...today.
