The Pain Doesn't Have to Last

In my life, many people have opened up to me about broken relationships or the loss of loved ones that brought them deep sorrow. I started seeing so many people go on for years, sometimes decades, unable to fully process the separation or death of those who passed. It resulted in them reliving the memory year after year without moving forward completely. There may be a degree of sadness when someone you love passes away, but if their home is heaven; that is reason to rejoice, not sustain lifelong suffering. Especially if our home is heaven; this means we will see them again, and live in the midst of love and joy with them forever. God did not create us to live our lives in anguish.

I met a young man last night who asked, “Who is God?” After allowing him to open up, he revealed a lot of evil and unjust things that happened to him.

Listening to his story; the details had similarities to mine, and I had great compassion. This caused me to be so grieved for how many people this has happened to, and angry at the devil for his tactics.

It's Time to Toss Plan "B"!

It’s my confident estimation that as a baby, you probably weren’t secretly stashing away jars of baby food in your crib. You probably weren't thinking, “Maybe I should keep an eating schedule in case mom forgets to feed me”. As a child, you naturally trusted your parents to take care of you without being aware that’s what you were doing. Why then do we have a “plan B” now?
