I have been working on a Blog to share with you for a while. I have prayed and written things down that have come to mind.
My friends we live in a shipwrecked world. One does not have to look very far to see things are just not going right and have not for a long long time. - We hear so much gloomy news these days - But I am not writing this to proclaim bad news - We hear that enough, and really - there is good in the world to be found.
I am writing this to sort out things in my own mind, but also in the hope that if it helps even one person, then it was worth while.
If the world was perfect, we would all be sailing on a beautiful boat on calm seas and the sun would be shining. - But it is not that way. - Our ship has capsized and we are all floating in a rough, dark ocean. Not just us here in the tribe, but really the whole world. This Ocean we are floating in is sin and we are ALL up to our necks in it. - We are reaching and grabbing for anything we can find to hold onto in this life so that we do not go under. In my life - I reached for everything I could find to stay afloat. And then I found the Rock, The Rock of Jesus Christ . It is an immovable rock that does not sway or shift with the tide. It will never sink below the waves. I am still in this ocean of sin with everyone else, but I have a solid rock to hold onto and the good news is that there is room for everyone to grab on. ANYONE who comes to this Rock will not be pushed away. Anyone can hold on with me and we can weather this stormy sea together. This news is more wonderful that I can ever tell you with words. - If you will reach out to God - He will pull you to this Rock and we will make it through this storm. - The waves will still hit our backs, we will fail sometimes, we will not have all the answers to all the questions. we will feel pain and sorrow, but through it all - Jesus will be there - the Rock that never moves or falters. And this rock forgives us of all of our sins - Although we are broken and in sin - we will be forgiven. In the end, this Rock will deliver us. We will be lifted out of this ocean of sin to be with our Heavenly Father. - I pray this blog helps someone - it has helped me to write it.
