You have not been disqualified. You have not been placed on the bench to wait out the rest of the game.”

“We will one day be with Jesus forever if we have a personal relationship with him. If you’re not sure that you do, you can change that right now. Simply stop and pray, “Lord, I know I am a sinner. I need your forgiveness. Thank you for your death on the cross. I know that is the only way I can be made right with you. No matter what has come before in my life, I now give myself fully and completely to you. Amen.” Then find some folks who will help you take the next steps in your journey with Jesus. If you’ve drifted from your relationship with him, you can ask for forgiveness and tell him once more that he is Lord of your life. Because of Jesus, we have hope that whatever we face will not last forever. We can look ahead and know this is certain about our future: the Lord is there.”

“Perhaps Isaiah 43:2 expresses it best: When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. Why does this matter? Because if we believe God doesn’t want us to have a good life, then we will stay in places he never intended. We will settle for less than he has for us. We will make hard times our identity rather than a stop along the way.”

“Your circumstances will lie to you. Your emotions will lie to you. Even other people will lie to you. But not God.

What does he say to us about who we truly are? Let’s look at what he says is true of you, no matter what you are going through today. You Are Loved Worrying”
