Many people mistake our work for our vocation. Our vocation is the love of Jesus.
And I pray thee loving Jesus that as Thou hast graciously given me to drink in with delight the words of Thy knowledge so Thou wouldst mercifully grant me to attain one day to Thee the fountain of all wisdom and to appear forever before Thy face.
I hope that it can relate to and be a blessing to anybody with the hope that someday they will find Jesus Christ to be the same God that I've found Him to be.
I remember thinking That's what I need - and that hope was in Jesus Christ.
You know in my hometown of Hope Arkansas the three sacred heroes were Jesus Elvis and FDR not necessarily in that order.
I hope we never get to the point that we put ourselves in Jesus' place. But when I read the New Testament basically we get three mandates: to love God to love each other and to take care of the least among us. And I think this is at least a step in the right direction.
Religion kept some of my relatives alive because it was all they had. If they hadn't had some hope of heaven some companionship in Jesus they probably would have committed suicide their lives were so hellish.
I am reasonably happy. I didn't find Jesus or anything like that. Part of it is that I just feel that I could go home. I did not feel like that for a long time but I could go back now.
Well I just said that Jesus and I were both Jewish and that neither of us ever had a job we never had a home we never married and we traveled around the countryside irritating people.
The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ came to do three things. He came to have my past forgiven you get a purpose for living and a home in Heaven.
