Faith Filled Friday
John 8:32-33 And
Jesus said to those Jews who believed, if you abide in My Word, you are My
disciples indeed; and you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you
free.
Have you
ever gotten lost on your way home? I realize that in today’s era, with all of
our technology available, any sort of directions at our fingertips just by
asking Google or Navigation or our factory-installed GPS equipment in our cars,
it’s a little more difficult to get lost. And yet, I have found myself lost a
time or two as I don’t always remember to rely on technology! I’ve even been
known to go to the wrong law office for a deposition before, having put in the
wrong number or even worse, getting the wrong information! Wow, is that ever
embarrassing! J
Welcome to
Coffee Hour with Chicklit Power and faith-filled Friday with Trench Classes
United.
Getting lost
is a horrible feeling, and I don’t just mean physically lost. I run into so
many hurting people who are not lost, per say, overwhelmed with suffering of
some sort. The waves of life have tossed them to and fro, and they have lost
their way, their hope.
Talk to the
wife who has just discovered her husband’s having an affair…either with another
woman or with an addiction of some sort, and then there’s the parent(s) hurting
over the choices their child is making, choices that surely are going to cause
so many unfavorable consequences. It’s like being lost in a sea of hopelessness
for there is nothing to do but watch the unfortunate consequences come and do
whatever they’re going to do. And what about the one just given a life sentence
via a medical diagnosis with a prognosis revealing the end is around the
corner?
Friends,
life is happening all around us and if it’s not happening to us, it’s happening
to those close to us. What are we doing for them? What kind of directions are
we giving when they reach out for help? Where do we send them or do we even
stop to notice they’re a bit lost in their sea of life and the circumstances
swimming around them threatening to overwhelm them, toss them to and fro that
they may lose their way?
See, no
matter the circumstance, there is a place to abide where we will never get
lost, a place that will shed new light, a fresh perspective, a location that is
filled with peace and hope, a foundation built with grace, a place that if we
would only turn to, land in, abide in, we would find freedom from all that has
us overwhelmed: His Love Letters to you and me!
It’s time to
stop being one of those who don’t ask for directions and abide in that place
that we will be found, never to get lost again because when we abide in His
Word, and invite others to join us there, it is there we are found, and freed!
Abiding in
His promises and principles,
Kim-Evinda
