Keep Smilin' Because When Ya Least Expect It...

And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. (Luke 21:8)

So many things have happened as of late...so much turmoil, trial, and tribulation. It has sought to overwhelm. Not, mind you, the physical which is just that...a physical weakness. What truly overwhelms is the enemy and the things and people it will use to take advantage. I have been pondering this verse now for the last couple of moments. What absolute truth it is...things and people who will be used as tools by the darkness. But Christ IS the light...Jesus IS the salvation and the path. Turning to He who is all will defeat that which wishes to be all and will destroy anything to be that all. We must recognize Jesus...recognize that to stray from Him is to stray from the one true and living God. Gratitude overwhelms me now at this early morning hour. My sufferings are nothing in whatever form that they present themselves. He gave everything to me and for me.
