12/10/20 MISSING GOD'S WILL IS TRAGIC

The will and work of God is dynamic, complex, glorious. God has plans for individuals, families, churches. God provides for each of these three categories. The sooner and the more consistent we all work together in God's service, the more obvious and abundant God is able to manifest Himself to His children and to the watching world.

But God works in concert with His children. He plans for them before they are born (going all the way back to the Garden, and before). God has a plan for our daily walk and He has a plan for our closing days, leading to His plan for our eternal joy. The more cooperation that we give to God, the more He is able to weave our lives into a miraculous tapestry. Regardless what our church folks do and sometimes in spite of what our family members do, God never leaves nor forsakes us. He is with us, even to the end of the earth... and beyond.

But how much more joy, love, peace, fulfillment we can all receive from Him and share with our loved ones when we all allow God to fill our hearts, our days, our lives as we walk in service to Him and one another?

We either spend our lives in turmoil, chaos, selfishness, robbing and burdening others or we impart to others a little bit of heaven in an otherwise difficult and sorrow filled world.

Live your life in loving subjection to Jesus. Live as His servants to family, loved ones, others. Life has enough evil without us contributing to it. In order to make it to heaven, we need the miracle work of God's salvation through His Son, Jesus Christ. We ought to be the vessels through which God enables and blesses others to live their lives, not just somehow, but triumphantly.

Life is only a moment, for all of us. Let us live in such a way that we help others through the dark, difficult times and we help them along their path to eternal life... with God, and hopefully with us and other loved ones.
