Joy In God

Editor, Times-Union:

Hear ye, hear ye, Christians. I wish to tell you something. I wish to say it to you with all my heart and soul. That is..."We have a great, great God."

You perhaps know the Bible reads, "He (God) can do all things." Also, "All things are possible with Him (God)." Those are great words, "All things" and "things with God." That means we can do things with God. What a privilege.

My daughter-in-law and I have had some unusual experiences lately. I think we all run into problems. For instance, "something we lost and cannot find" and others. The Bible, His word, reads, "Ask and ye shall, shall receive." "You have not, because you do not ask." When you have a problem, have you thought about asking for help to our God? I think I have heard it said, "He is a master physician." Yes, a problem solver also.

I think our God has created each of us for a special reason. We would do well if we try to decide for what reason and then serve Him well. There are no two persons 100 percent exactly alike. I think He looks at each of us as special.

We have all the reasons in the world to have joy, joy in His blessed name, Jesus Christ.

I have heard the word "relationship." I think for some time I did not realize what that really means. If you do not know, I suggest you take advantage and learn. I think it means to be real close to our god, like children are to their parents. The Bible reads, I think, "He would not that anyone perish." So let's tell others the good news. How about singing the song, "Tell it to Jesus?"
