On Wednesday we had 17 teenagers in youth group, THAT'S GOOD. But we didn't have any of our Missionettes come. This past Wednesday was the third Wednesday since school let out and the bus has been as full as ever. In fact, last Wednesday we had 6 new kids come to church, taking our bus list to over 45, that's also very good!
But, now for something really bad. A brother and sister who come to church on the bus lost their mother. Apparently she had a seizure while in a hot tub. She was found Thursday morning. The children were staying with their father and grandmother. Our hearts are broken for them and we are praying that the peace of God will come upon them, and that the comfort of the Holy Spirit will strengthen them.
God created a perfect world, but sin has corrupted it and caused all sorts of painful things to deal with. But, God has not forsaken us. Rather, He did what He could to fix the problem by sending His one and only Son, Jesus, to die for our sins. His death was the price paid for our redemption that we might be forgiven. If we will receive Him into our heart and life, He will forgive our sins, make us new, restore our relationship with God, give us His Holy Spirit to teach us and be with us, and He will work in us to make us perfect us. Finally, when our bodies ultimately die, we will go to live with Him forever. WOW!
This life will always be FULL of good and bad, but God has done something about it. He is the answer. He truly is the Way, the Truth, the the Life! He comes to give us life, and life to the fullest, in spite of the bad. If you haven't done it already, give Jesus your heart and life and see what is to belong to Him.
