Never give up. Believe!

Ephesians chapter 5 verse 1.
"Follow God's example in everything you do just as a much loved child imitates their father."

"God loves you and wants your love and life to be focused on Him." I like that statement because it gives hope to anyone who is seeking answers to questions they may have. There are too many reason to list as to why people turn to God, but the fact remains, that they are turning to God seeking His promises. It is not about what others are doing or what they might think of your endeavors. It is your personal reason as to why you have come before God. And that is all it takes, to make the largest change to your life that you will ever experience.
Family, whatever that may look like to you, is the closest example of what God is offering to you. God sent Jesus to tell everyone that He wants all people to be close to Him and trust in His love. Just as the people of old rejected Jesus because they did not truly understand His teachings, it is the same today. People are free to make choices for themselves. Jesus did amazing healing's and miracles that baffled the mind and that gave people some hope, that it was not just a hoax, but maybe Jesus was who He says He was. Hope is very powerful and can influence the way people think.
Jesus was put to death because people followed the authorities who feared losing the comfy lifestyles they had. The bible states that Jesus was seen and talked to by people after His death, which fulfilled what He said about dying and coming back to life three days later. For people who believe that, it reassures them that Jesus truly is the Son of God and that God did send Him to tell everyone, there is a place for them with God.
There is  hope to be found in believing that Jesus can bring us peace. There is hope in believing in God's promises to take care of those who come to Him. There is nothing better than believing that God is watching over you and that you belong to His family. Peace comes from being content and happy. Peace comes from being loved and welcomed. Peace is knowing you are home.
Thank-you father for Jesus and making a place for everyone. 😊
