YES WE CAN

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:"

1 Peter 5:8
King James Version

One of my pastors said in a sermon "If satan is not attacking you then you need to be sure you are serving Jesus". I can tell you that I know I am serving Jesus because satan has been attacking me a lot.

Bill and Gloria Gaither sing one of my very favorite hymns "Because He Lives".

"God sent His son They called Him Jesus He came to love Heal and forgive He bled and died To buy my pardon An empty grave Is there to prove My savior lives

And because He lives I can face tomorrow Because He lives All fear is gone Because I know He holds the future And life is worth the living Just because He lives

And then one day I'll cross the river And I'll fight life's final war with pain And then As death gives way to victory I'll see the lights of glory And I'll know He reigns. Hallelujah He lives!"

Are you going to go to Heaven? If not, I urge you to confess your sins and ask God to forgive you and invite Jesus into your heart to be your Saviour.

He is waiting for you to come to Him with a heart full of unconditional love for you and His arms open wide. I love You so much, dear Jesus. Thank You for everything You have done for me.

In this New Year, let's do our best to make Jesus happy. If ever someone deserves to be happy, it is Jesus! Let's also make a special effort to be kind and loving to everyone even when they hurt us.
