It is time to face all the disappointment and sorrow you are feeling and realize that you need to find the true source of hope.
It is time to realize that the tragedies and horrors that shake us will continue to take place in this fallen world.
It is time to take all your fears and emotions to the only One who promises eternal hope.
It is time to stop relying on wonderfully written platitudes that others share which encourage you not to give up. For while these messages bring inspiration and temporary assurance and comfort, they do not hold us tightly from this moment on and throughout eternity. They are temporal messages of encouragement, nothing more, nothing less. Neither the Dalai Lama nor Martin Luther King, Jr., nor Pope Francis, nor Jon Stewart can penetrate our very souls to bring us that peace that surpasses human understanding.
No, the steadfast, undying hope that we so desperately seek doesn’t come from our families and friends either, though we can rely on these beloved ones to walk through life with us and love us as best as they are able.
And the tangible and defined experience of receiving grace and forgiveness is not simply floating around out in the energies of the universe somewhere. It ‘s no longer enough to just wonder where hope is and be okay with the fact that it exists somewhere out there!
Hope eternal, and hope defined, is only found at the foot of the cross of Jesus Christ. It is now time to come to Him, dear people of the world. And it’s okay to do so. For when you ask Him for help and hope, His faithful, steadfast and eternal peace calms the fear and holds the worries, transforming your very soul.
And this is what your soul is seeking.
It’s okay to allow yourself to believe in The Way, The Truth and The Light, for that is what Jesus is, and that is what you are seeking. In receiving His grace and mercy, you are not removing your love and acceptance from those who haven’t yet met Jesus. You are not loving the people of the world any less by acknowledging that redemption for every soul is found by accepting that there is one God, and only one God, who offers grace and redemption for every single soul on the face of the earth. No other belief system extends this promise. No universal energy can ever make known God-in-human-form (Jesus Christ), the one person everyone can accept and be accepted by. Instead of wondering where it can be found in the myriad of belief systems and energies that exist, come to the PERSON Jesus Christ.
It is time to stop wondering about it.
It is time to courageously yield to the ONE who promises eternal hope for all humankind.
Receive and believe these words of truth, which God has made known for us in His mercy:
From the book of Romans, chapter 3: ” 23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.24 Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.”
From the book of Romans, chapter 10: ” 9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.”
From the book of Acts, chapter 4: “12 There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.”
From the book of Romans, chapter 8: “38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Amen and Amen. Thank you, Jesus.
NOTE: If in reading this message you would like to discuss your doubts or fears, or if you would like me to pray with you, please let me know. It would be my greatest honor and privilege to talk with you about the eternal hope that all of us have in Jesus Christ.
HERE’S A SIMPLE PRAYER YOU CAN PRAY RIGHT NOW: Dear Jesus, I do want to know the hope and peace and forgiveness that you provide. I am seeking you right now, Jesus, and I ask you to find me where I am, and fill me with your presence. I know you came to earth to reveal God’s love, and I ask you to come into my heart, mind and soul, Grant me your grace, your forgiveness and your power. Help me understand your plan for redemption for all of the world, and give me this hope eternal. Amen.
