You know and I know there are so many hurting people in the world today; so many right around us. Many times, just to look at their faces you would never know anything was wrong. But behind closed doors there are aching and sad hearts. Perhaps you are one of these. Saturday I was able to present my workshop called, “There’s Life After Loss” at the Benders Christian store. It was dealing not only with widows, but with anyone who has lost a loved one. However, the scriptures I used could apply to many different situations. John 10:10 spells out a truth we need to remember: “The thief comes to steal, to kill and to destroy. I am come that you might have life and that you might have it more abundantly.” Satan is the one who tries to steal, kill and destroy our peace, our joy and our relationship with the Lord. BUT Jesus said He came to give us life and to give it more abundantly. Not only is this referring to eternal life; but our lives RIGHT now. Because of the Lord Jesus Christ, we can go on living in victory and peace with the strength of the Lord regardless of the loss or trial we may find ourselves in. My encouragement to you today is to simply trust Him–trust His Word. Because JESUS NEVER FAILS!
