Trials and Hope

     I've been thinking about the many people I've talked with recently who are going through intense trials. Some are financial, some are health related...some have relationship issues, some battle addictions.... The bottom line is that the closer we get to the end the spiritual warfare will be greater bc Satan knows his end is coming & he wants to take as many with him as possible. 
     None of us are exempt from these trials. But here's the good news. If you are born-again, have repented of your sin & made a decision to surrender your life to Jesus Christ, you have hope! Hebrews 6:19 says; "This hope we have as anchor of the soul, both sure & steadfast...." What a promise to hold on to! He will take care of us & make a way where there seems to be no way.
     


     Lastly, 2 Corinthians 5:17 - "....if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed; behold all things have become new." So, I am not a recovering anything, I am delivered! Praise God! I am a new creation in Jesus! You can be also, just ask Jesus to come into your life, ask for forgiveness if your sin & Jesus will cleanse you & make you a new person! And you won't have to go through life's trials alone! Love you guys!!!!
