God loves us and desires to help us along the path we call life. God has a plan for us (Jeremiah 29:11). We sometimes seek meaning in relationships, sports, hobbies but life’s true meaning is to know Jesus Christ. Just as God led the churches in the old days He desires to lead his people and churches now. God has promised that He will always stand by our side, “Never leave us or forsake us”. When times get hard God is still with us in our suffering. Christ knows what suffering is like and can relate to our hard times. Jesus suffered greatly on earth so that we could be blessed with the gift of eternal life. Jesus was 100% obedient to God even to the point of dying on a cross for our sins. Praise God for His plans for us, amazing grace, and love. Amen
