The people who make a difference in your life are not those with the most credentials, money, or awards. They simply are the ones who care.
Jesus came to take our punishment because He loved us. It wasn’t because He cared about us, although He did that too. His love for us was enough that He came to give His life for you and me, and for anyone who will believe in His sacrifice because He loved us.
Yes, He cared then and He still cares about what happens to each of us just as it says in the Bible, “God knows when a sparrow falls”. How much more does He care about each of us? People in our lives make a difference, especially when they care about us and actually make a difference.
Jesus can make a difference when you ask Him to be your Savior and Lord. I urge you to consider making Him your Savior because, if you’ve been watching the news, the time is drawing near. He is coming for His Bride, who have made Him their Savior. If you have, there is nothing to do but pray and study His Word. Seek Him out. Don’t turn away from His call on your heart. He loves you more than anyone on Earth.
The first step in knowing God is to find out more about Him. Read Isaiah 53, then read the New Testament books of John and Romans. I know that is a lot of reading but if you really want to investigate and learn about God, those are the books you should begin with. After you have read them, go back to the book of Genesis and read through as much of the Bible as you can. Some books are a little hard to read with the rules of sacrifices and the genealogies that are part of many books.
The more you learn about God, the more you will come to know Him, and knowing Him will bring you to love Him and you will want to obey His commandments and live according to His ways. By doing this you will become a disciple of His and you will want to spread His message to those around you. Being in a relationship with God gives your life meaning and a purpose that you can’t get from anything else on Earth. Seek Him and come to know Him and your life will never be the same. It will be the best life you could ever have.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
I’m turning 63 this fall and I don’t see myself doing anything different in the next decade. Taking care of my family and waiting for the Lord to come.
Describe something you learned in high school.
Be quiet enough to not be noticed. I also learned that I really didn’t like school.
