In difficult times....go back

In difficult times there are many considerations that must be made. Making decisions and choosing directions can become complicated without a base to measure all things against. Witnessing the choices of individuals is not always easy. Every choice has a reaction by others and all our decisions have consequences. Sometimes people believe that their life is theirs to live and they do so without respect to anyone around them. Others live their lives with high regards as to what others think and believe, yet they still find themselves held in low regards and respect by others.
Finding the base in which one can measure their decisions from is not easy with all the options available today. We can use our friends, or we can value theories and philosophies for just a few of our available options. The problem I have discovered in my search for that foundation to use for measuring decisions against is the failure in those choices to even pan out. That failure causes you to stop believing and it creates an atmosphere that leads you to believe the negative side of life is final and the only choice is to just survive and accept things as they are.
If you have discovered yourself in this condition of accepting things without hope for a change that would bring about your dreams and hopes, then please continue to read…there is a safe base. Most people who consider themselves to be on the downside of life and her experiences don’t like to talk about spiritual things because they already feel let down. Often they believe Jesus was going to fix everything that was wrong in their life, or that Jesus was going to deliver them from some experience they dreaded and they have never forgiven Him for that happening. Most people who consider themselves to be on the upside of life, with all her many pleasures consider they actually are a benefit to Jesus because of who they are, and in so doing they miss totally the only base we can truly trust.
Ministry has been a blessing for me. It’s the daily opportunity to share my experiences and to help others who are attempting to discover that base from which we can spring board our lives forward. The greatest thing I discovered in my base line of faith is that Jesus Christ provides me with options of restoration, grace and mercy. This I have not discovered in my other options I once thought to be the savior—if you will. The difficult times we have in life is that we are automatically going to make errors and wrong decisions that will have consequences and reactions that we would wish to avoid. That is life, but there is an answer and it can only be found in the only sure base from which we can positively evaluate our lives from.
In difficult times…the answer is Jesus Christ. When you have lost all faith and hope you must revisit the base that you believed once worked. The great news is that the spot where you last remembered His presence, He remains there still. Your journey is simple. Just go back to that spot and you will again discover the base you need is still working.

Until then
