Another Week, Another Road

On Monday mornings I try to think of something to encourage me for the week, more than just that first cup of coffee. It can be almost anything. Today it was very simple. I am encouraged because God has entrusted to me eternal life.

Growing up my Father gave me many instructions. Frequently he told me what to do, what not to do, when to do something, and so on. It was fairly restrictive. My heavenly Father is somewhat similar, and yet quite different. He gives me the basics and asks I commit myself to them. Then He lets me choose to serve Him forever or not. After that, He remains at my side, ever playing the coaching role. The really amazing thing is, He gives me eternal life. Why does that encourage me?

Because it means He believes in me. He believes in you. He believes that we will one day come together to be His bride and serve Him and make the right choices forever.

It is good to know that someone, like a very awesome and powerful God, believes in us, don’t you think?

Prayer
Father, thank You for believing in us. Thank You for giving us eternal life. Thank You that You are always there, our ever present help at all times. In Jesus name. Amen
