APRIL 30 2026 Make Reservations
God,
I know, would want everyone to have the same confidence in him which
he has given to me. With such confidence you can face any
situation in life. Though life may present you with things you
may not expect, and things may happen to try your trust in God's
love, you know that his love, not your strength, will always bring
you through to the place of peace and rest. God's will is for
everyone to have this peace in their heart. Why can't people
grasp the simple truth that God only wills good for his creation? Is
it because they do not know the devil has sown evil in the world and
in their hearts, and blinded their eyes to the truth? If God did
not want only good for us, it would be impossible for us to know any
good at all. Yet men go on their merry way in life, never
pausing a moment to reflect on God's desire to have a place in their
life, meanwhile they enjoy all the pleasures and provisions he made
for them to enjoy. This leads us to the most utterly amazing,
most difficult to honestly, truly, and firmly grasp characteristic of
God, which is this: his love for us is
the same
regardless of what we do or how we act. And it is out of this
same love that he gives us the choice to turn our back on him, and
hate our fellow man, and despise his goodness to us. A
disobedient child can be forced to obey, but in his stubborn heart he
can still despise the authority.
So out of
love, Jesus Christ will come in ultimate power and separate the evil
from the good, and so demonstrate his love toward those who have
chosen to be with him forever, and they will be with him forever
protected from every evil person and every evil influence. This
is sad news for the rebellious, but good news for the believing
ones. Love is kind, but love is also just. So as I realized
in that moment of overwhelming tranquility that life would not always
be like this, and I would have to go out and endure the evils present
in the world, I also knew that in the end my God of love would cut
off all evil from his presence, and keep me from all evil
forever. Talk about a vacation. This one will be worth
waiting for. I've got my reservation made! Get yours today! --excerpt from my book "Kingdom Chronicles"
