“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
(John 16:33 ESV)
“Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.”
(Colossians 3:2 ESV)
God created a beautiful world for us. Oh I hear you. What’s so wonderful about it? Gas and grocery prices are sky high, turn the news on and all you hear is how someone got murdered or about riots and wars. I know all that. But stop and look beyond that. Trees are starting to bud out, flowers are starting to bloom and birds are singing.
Have you ever thought about what lies beyond earth? Yes, the void of outer space. But have you ever looked at pictures from out there? Outer space is a beautiful place. God loved us enough before even the creation of man, to create a home for us. He created colors. Can you imagine if the world and all of us if we were just monochrome? How boring. But God loves us. He wants us to have a wonderful home.
Sadly, a lot don’t enjoy their life here. So they turn to other things, like drugs, alcohol and sex. Those things won’t make you feel better. Try God.
I see a billboard every time I go to church, it says “Got God?” That’s all. That’s enough isn’t it? Do you have God? If not, you should. God can take you and transform you. He can heal the broken areas and fill you with hope. Then you will see what a wonderful world we live in. But then you will see the wonderful home you will have in heaven one day too.
If you don’t have God in your life, today is a good day to give you life to Him and let Him make you into the person He wants you to be. God is waiting for you.
Have a blessed day.
