I think that fall is finally here in Wyoming. My trees are starting to turn color and they are talking about rain mixed with snow tonight. I look ouitside and it doesn't seem like it is going to snow, but I'm not the weatherman.
It has been so dry here for the last few years that we will be happy with any moisture that we get. We need to realize that all the moisture is a gift from God. He causes it to rain or snow or even a drought.
I have always been one who likes to watch the storms. To me it is fascinating to watch the power that is in the storms. I have been in the monsoons in VietNam and it will rain for weeks on end. Now that's a lot of rain. The people rely on the rains to fill their rice patties.
I always remember that God is in control of the seas and the skies. He gives us rain in its season and snow in its season. Sometimes I want to complain when the weather does'nt cooperate with my plans, but Gods plans are the ones that count. I'm sure that you have had the same thing happen to you. We just always need to be thankful for everthing that God gives us, even if it interferes with our plans.
God has given us so much that we take it for granted. We have our health, we live in a free country, we can worship God openly, and not all countries alow this freedom. We have an abundance of food. The list could go forever. We have the greatest gift in Christ Jesus, who gave his life on the cross for all of us sinners.
Can you imagine what it would be like to know that you had no way to get to heaven?
God knew our dire circumstances and sent his son to be the savor of the world. Romans;5:8 (But God demomstrates His own love towards us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us) Thank You God!!! for the gift of eternal life in Jesus Christ your Son.
But you may say that you have no sin. Wrong!!!! 1John;1:8-10 (If we say that we have no sin, we decieve ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.)
We have to accept Jesus in our lives to have eternal life. God tells us in 1John;5:11-12 ( And this is the testimony; that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.) I would say that this is pretty plain. You either have Jesus in your life or you do not have eternal life. That means you will spend eternity seperated from God. "You won't be in heaven".
I pray that you will give your life to God before it is to late. Take time to study your Bible and see for yourself what God says. It is your only hope for eternal life in heaven with God.
God Bless You!!
