Emanuel

Revelation chapter 21 verses 3 and 4.
I heard a loud shout from the throne saying, "Look, the home of God is now among men, and He will live with them and they will be His people; yes, God Himself will be among them. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there will be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying, nor pain. All of that gone forever."

Wow! Imagine a world where there is such wonderful hope. No sadness, no worry or anger.
   The confusion that life brings upon us, brings on the most craziest of thoughts, and it is how we deal with those thoughts that give us the necessary required peace to live a long healthy life. When we are young we are not exposed to the trials and temptations, that experience and survival, push at us. 
   It is because of the lack of exposure to provide a job, food and shelter that keeps young people from sadness and worry. And since there is no such demands upon them, they laugh and play oblivious to what lies ahead for them. It is through observation and guidance that people make the transaction into dealing with provision. So right from the beginning of our lives we are faced with losing the innocence of our youth to the confusion of making the right decisions that will cause the least amount of grief.
   It sounds scary and horrible. It is by realizing that you can't just sit by and expect that life will provide for you. You will have to get a job to provide the necessary money to purchase provisions for survival. You will have to look at your future and seek out the required training needed to have a job you enjoy and give you a focus of purpose. But remember; the joy of your youth needs to be held onto so that you are not bogged down by the sadness of mistakes and frustration.
   We can't help but grow old and have to deal with relationships, the worry of having enough and the never ending aches and pains of aging bodies. So what is a person to do? There is hope though, through finding life with Jesus.
   God has always said come to Him and trust in Him to provide. So, He has opened the door to everyone to come to Him through His Son, Jesus. It is a big step to take and for those who have taken the steps to come to Jesus and find life with trusting in God, they will tell you of living in the happiness and peace of their youth.
   Matthew chapter 1 verse 23 states that into this world a child is born whom shall be called Emanuel, (meaning God is with us.) Jesus is God's Son who through knowing Him you can live now free from sadness and confusion. They are gone forever.
   Jesus has brought to us the purpose of life with God. In your youth it was the experience of others that guided you into providing for yourself. From there on you where left to make decisions for yourself hoping that they would be right. God is always there and has never gone anywhere. He is there to walk with you through every moment of your life. Letting you know that you are not alone to face the trials, but have the experience and knowledge of God Himself.
   So, God in His ultimate love for people has sent Jesus to show everyone the way to into life with Him. It is how Jesus led His life, the sacrifices that He gave and the promises of God that we should follow after and find our way to living in the presence of God, His Father and our's. Jesus faced many trial's and no matter what He faced He knew He was not alone but in the presence of God's watchful eye. So, take strength from Jesus and hold closely to Him and He will pick you up and lead you along the paths of life with God.
   Thank you Father for Jesus. Thank you for taking our fears and our worries and giving us a reason to smile. To feel Your joy and love through Your Son, Jesus. 😊 

Hebrews chapter 12 verses 12-14.
"So take a new grip with your tired hands, stand firm on your shaky legs, and mark out a straight, smooth path for your feet so that those who follow you, though weak and lame, will not fall and hurt themselves, but become strong. Try to stay out of quarrels and seek to live a clean and holy life, for one who is not holy will not see the Lord."

1 Peter chapter 5 verses 6-9.
"If you humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, in His good time He will lift you up. Let Him have all your worries and cares, for He is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you."
