FOR BETTER OR WORSE...

This sounds like part of a Wedding Vow...

GOD has been saying this to us since we were born...
HE will love us, provide for us, care for us
in good times and bad...
in sickness and in health...

But unlike a spouse or partner on earth...
THERE IS NO, "TILL DEATH DO US PART".
There is no separation or divorce...

HE IS WITH US
TODAY AND ALWAYS
AND YOU CAN FEEL THE LOVE
AND BENEFITS IF YOU ALLOW YOURSELF
TO GET CLOSE TO HIM...

GOD has already made a commitment to us...
All you have to say is "I Do Too"...not with words, but in your heart.

It may sound silly
but God can be everything to you...
Friend, Brother, Father, Parent, Uncle, Cousin and yes...
like a spouse that will love you, protect you and provide for you...
for the rest of your life...
(which is a very long time)

GOD will always be faithful,
HE will never desert you,
HE will never criticize you.

HE WILL LOVE YOU
HE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU
HE WILL PROTECT YOU
HE WILL PROVIDE EVERYTHING YOU NEED...

Life appears to be getting more difficult for people ...
as I listen to them discussing their life and problems.
The future seems uncertain, they worry about today and tomorrow...
People are just trying to get by...

One BIG IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN DO TODAY
IS ADD GOD TO YOUR LIFE...

MAKE HIM AN ACTIVE PART ...
THINK OF HIM, TALK WITH HIM, RELY ON HIM
AND YOUR LIFE WILL GET BETTER, MUCH BETTER !

FOR BETTER OR WORSE...
HE will be by your side...
That is HIS PROMISE !

(and believe me... JESUS NEVER BREAKS A PROMISE)

TRUST IN GOD OR LIVE IN FEAR ?

I will not be afraid of the future. The world is a big place and there are always things happening and changing in our lives. GOD may have a new direction for us...of dreams and goals to fulfill. Can we see the change happening or better yet...feel it ?

I usually can. So I have a choice to make. Do I allow myself to become afraid of the change...that may happen or DO I TRUST IN GOD MORE?

Change can happen so slowly, that sometimes you do not even notice...or you may not want to notice. THINK OF GOD.

Change can also happen at a rate that you can see and anticipate the action. You gain strength and feel prepared for the outcome. LET GOD WALK YOU THROUGH THE CHANGE ... YOU WILL EXPERIENCE IT... IN A BETTER WAY.

Then there is the "unexpected" change...usually the worst kind. A child goes off to war, an unexpected illness in the family, diagnosis of Cancer for anyone you love , a death of a loved one, unemployment or you find yourself financially broke because of this economy...and just surviving becomes a full time job. CLING ON TO GOD ! HE WILL HELP YOU.

Waiting to hear news of an outcome may also be brutal...BUT REFUSE TO LIVE IN FEAR.
KNOW THAT GOD WILL ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF US...WHETHER YOU ARE AWARE OF IT OR NOT.

I know what I preach. These are not just words to fill a page. They are from my first hand experiences with Jesus.

ALWAYS, ALWAYS HAVE TRUST IN GOD in your current and future situations ...
NO MATTER WHAT !!!
Ask HIM for his help...
HE can hear you and HE loves you.
Nothing is impossible with God!

HAVE FAITH THAT EVERYTHING WILL TURN OUT
FOR THE BEST IN YOUR LIFE!
We can not always see the benefits to some things...but God has a reason.

So what do you prefer? You can make a choice right now.
Trust in God or live in fear of the unknown?
