***NOTICE***
"How happy are those whose way is blameless, who live according Jesus is interested in helping us make choices. Perhaps one of the biggest choices for us to make is whether or not we are going to trust him to guide us. The Bible promises us that if we follow Jesus, all things will work together for our good. I have found this to be so true. As I trust Jesus to help me make the right choices, I know without a doubt that no matter how things may look right now, in the end they will work out for the best. His way is always the best way...and His time the best time. Why should you trust Jesus? First of all, He Loves You. In fact, he loves you so much that He died on the Cross for you. His love is perfect --- and nothing can ever separate you from that love. You are important to Him. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. "Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow --- not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love. 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." -- Romans 8:38-39 NLT Second, He knows what is Best. He knows what is best for you in the here and now --- and even more important, He knows what is best for you in eternity. He sees the whole picture, a perspective we can never have. Today's scripture beautifully expresses the blessing of trusting Him in all our planning and decisions. And last, He is Able. He has the power to work things out for your good. "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them." -- Romans 8:28 NLT All God asks is that you choose to trust Him. That you are willing to do things his way. Are you?
In His Service,
