“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.” (John 14:1)
We took a vacation to California as a family just before dropping our oldest, Hannah, off at Bible College a few weeks ago. It was a blast hanging out as a family together one last time before things changed and a new “normal” came our way. As I sat there one day in devotions I thought about Jesus’ last week with his disciples. He spent 3 years hanging with them. It was certainly a family. Leaving is never easy. So with Him as our example, let’s note these things about saying “good-bye” to loved ones who are heading off to a new chapter in their lives.
Jesus then went to the cross, died for them, and rose again…only to see them again in a few days. How great are reunions with loved ones in Jesus not only in this life, but knowing we will have forever with them too! God bless, Pastor Jesse

It seems there is nothing I can do now to make myself feel better. Even if I happen to be in one of the most relaxed setting supposedly, I still can't will my mind and body to relax. I worry about a lot of things. I worry about not having anyone to talk to. I worry about getting distracted. I worry about losing everything in the process of looking for things that are supposed to be the ones we should be seeking in life. For some reason I am still unhappy.

If the heart has a lot of burden, it is really hard to live. If the heart has a lot of guilt and resentment, we can never feel happiness. It is just right that we must cherish and nourish our faith every single day on the way we think we can. The religion we have might affect our faith, whether for the good or not. The only thing we must always prevail is the respect we give to one another. Let us make the religion bring us closer to him and to one another.
