Romans 5:6 - For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
A wonderful promise to the one who feels helpless or hopeless is that Christ will give strength.
Jesus said: "Come unto me all you who labor and are heavey laden, and I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28).
God is a "whosoever" God. Whosoever will come and receive Him through Jesus Christ will find help and hope. Jesus is the healer of our soul, mind and body. He is your help in your time of need; just call upon Him. He comes to you in your need because light is best seen in the darkest hour.
If your life is dark in sin or events that leave you helpless and hopeless cry out to Jesus today and He will come and comfort you.
I recall the hour when I cried unto Jesus and He came to save me from my sin and set me upon a firm foundation. Fourty six years have passed and He is just as real in my life as when I first began with Him. Try Him! You will like Him!

Jesus Has Time For You
Time - one of the most valuable things that is at our disposal. Time is an asset or a liability depending upon the amount we do or do not have to complete an event or project.
Jesus seemed to always have time when he was going about his busy itenerate ministry of city to city and person to person evangelism.
Jesus didn't let the press of the day stop him from taking time to heal the woman with the issue of blood or to heal the blind man beside the road. He always noticed faith and need and stopped to fulfill their need both physical and spiritual.
Jesus purpose in coming to this earth was to seek the Lost. He always had time for the sinner. He went to Zaccheus house to eat as he always had time for the lost sinner. He allowed a sinful woman to bath his feet with perfume. Salvation came to her that day. He called out to a sinful fisherman named Peter to follow him. Peter then became one of the greatest men to ever share the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Grace [unmerited favor] and mercy [release for the guilty] epitomize everything Jesus stands for.
Jesus has always sought the sinner, lost and hopeless, and has given each hope as each sought help from him. He hasn't changed.
Reach out to him today. He will be your friend and will change your life for good and eternity.
God bless each of you as you pursue after Christ. He is a friend that sticks closer than a brother.

Read and Study The Scriptures
Time was when I had no love for the Holy Scriputres due to living an unholy life. The year was 1966, the month was January and the day the 19th. A beautiful day in my life dawned and set with my new life having begun that day and continues to this day. It is a joy to have the peace and knowledge of God in my life. A knowledge that salvation is to all who will receive it as a gift purchased by Jesus Christ for our sins. I remember the joy and fullness that entered my life as I prayed, asking God to forgive me of my sins.
Looking backward I wonder why I waited so long to ask Jesus into my heart. There certainly is nothing to be fearful of and new life to gain.
We look at the labor pains of this earth and know that our world is about to enter a very traumatic time such as has never been before. I believe that prior to the time of Great Tribulation we will be taken in the clouds with Jesus. At the end of the Tribulation we will come back with Jesus where the Battle of Armageddon will be fought. Immediately thereafter the millenial reign of Christ will be implemented upon this earth.
I find great solace in knowing that the smoke and turmoil will clear as Jesus comes back and sets up his everlasting kingdom. Its something to look forward to with great joy and expectation of a blissful eternity.
Make your plans to be on the side of Jesus. You won't regret it for a moment.

Salvation
It has been said that all salvation costs is what everyone can afford: one's self.
Coming to the Lord costs a man nothing and, at the same time, costs him everything. The offer is free in that a man need not pay anything in exchange for his salvation. "Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price" (Isaiah 55:1). Yet receiving salvation costs man his life. He no longer has the freedom of self-determination. "Seek the Lord while He may be found...Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him" (vs 6-7). All that it costs is what everyone can give: one's self.
Give yourself and get all that heaven has to offer. Not a bad exchange.
I am a rich man due to my coming inheritance in heaven. WOW!

God is the same everyday
Hebrews 13:8 - "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
God has always wanted mankind to walk in faith and trust in Him. This faith is fueled by none other than God himself. We believe and He responds to our need. When we think about faith it normally and confidently states that God has met us in the past, He is meeting us in the present, and we know He will still meet us in the future. He has brought us out of sin to bring us in to righteousness and ultimately to the heavenly city.
The future and our future is all known to God. He tells us that the "steps of the righteous are ordered by the Lord." (Psalms 37:33) For all times of need that arise God has given us faith and the "gift of faith" just for the occasion. It is the God-given ability to trust your situation into His hands and see Him work it out for your comfort and for His glory.
Hebrews 11 is known as the "faith chapter" in the Word of God. Its not the only place where the action of faith is recorded but it is the one most mentioned. Open your Bibles to chapter 11 of Hebrews and renew your faith in God and begin anew the walk of faith. It is truly wonderful what God will do for those who trust in Him.
Have a faith day and a faith life. It is exciting.

Rest For The Believer
Exodus 33:14 - My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.
Moses needed encouragement before taking the responsibility of taking the children of Israel out of Egypt. God promised him rest. Rest in its fullness is abscence of stress, conflict, turmoil, tension and hassle. This is not rest from activity, but a rest in the midst of activity.
Some people have the epitome of composure and serenity while everyone around them is going to pieces or "coming unglued. What is it that allows these people to show such inner strength and continual tranquility? An old way of describing it is "the rest of faith."
When we neglect to do what is right and what we should be doing we find ourselves worn out. When we work diligently through obedience and completing the task required of us we find and enter into a rest. This almost sounds like a contradition of terms: resting while laboring...resting while exerting energy. Obstinate disobedience brings turmoil and unrest. Willful obedience to God bings peace and rest. We know that we can only do so much but God is unlimited to help us as we believe and follow after Him in sincerity and faith.
Rest is encased in the following terms: Intermission, Recreation, Remain (standing in the difficult day), To refresh. Do you want an intermission from the evil intent designed against you. Do you want a recreation (re-creation) of you life with an ability to stand firm and be refreshed. If you do then start today by repenting of your sins and living a life of following after Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior. He keeps Hs WORD for those who follow Him.
What a promise to each of us.
God bless you.
