Our prayers are with those up in the area Katrina is heading. How ominous this storm seems. My heart is heavy knowing what hurricanes can do. We have loved ones in the path and just out of range of the path. Worse yet, would be facing that storm without the hope of Jesus Christ! The promise of His presence and love in the midst of the storms of life.
I pray that through the hard times of your life you would seek the only One who can bring you peace and help. Jesus. . .He is not Who the religious nuts of our day or days past say He is. He is not aloof to those in trouble or pious in the face of someone who has messed up. He was, and is, the One that hung out with the poor, hurting and greiving. . .the tax collector, the prostitute, the homosexual, heterosexual, drug addict, depressed and lonely. . . and He comforted them gave them hope and the "Living Water" that quenches the thirst that you can find no relief from any place else! He is unconditional Love!
Actually the people He became most angry with were the Pharisees. . . the religious people of that day that only cared about how they looked and what people thought of them and obeying the rules. . .Jesus says in the Bible. . You can know all sorts of information and obey all kinds of rules, but if you don't show love to others, it is worthless. . .(my translation).
So, may you find the love of the One who created you, that loves you just as you are right now! He is a whisper away if you truely seek Him!
Hebrews 11:6 says "Without faith it is impossible to please Him; For those who come to Him must believe that He exists and He is a rewarder of those who truely seek Him."
