    You don’t know me and I don’t know you, but the one who inspires kindness, goodness and love – He knows us both.

    He is the True Vine

    He came as God in flesh to perfect love and joy.

    He represents everything good, and even though the world’s hatred of Him happens – He would do it again.

    He died for salvations plan – He saves those who believe He says who He is.

    When He arose the Heavenly Father gave Him all power and He then gave us His Spirit- He gives us a helper to guide us in making good choices and finding joy.

    Even right now He is helping me to write to you – whom I don’t know.

    But He knows you.

    He wants you to know your sorrow will turn to joy, if you trust and obey Him. His words are given to you to overcome the world.

    He is your best choice. He will never leave you nor forsake you.

    His kingdom is not of this world. He came to witness of the truth of God – and when we listen to His voice and heed Him. We are saved.

    He is the Lord of Lords and King and Kings,

    He is Jesus Christ the Son of God.

    All around us is a world of sorrow, you don’t have to look far for need and distress.

    Life’s hardships come by the choice to live in darkness. The workers of iniquity certainly don’t help, but because you listen to their lies you are kept enslaved to the burdens you carry.

    As a volunteer for Pathway to Health I have seen firsthand those who are just surviving to live another day, as well as those who don’t know there’s something better for them.

    While I serve their physical needs, the true purpose of this mission is to share God’s love with them.

    Once I held the hands of a work worn women in St Louis, whose fingers were so worn the skin was peeling off. There was nothing I could do to make it better physically as only time would heal it but I knew she would return to her work shortly.

    What I could do was sit there and massage her tired hands and heart with these words ” I’m sorry.. God sees you. He loves you. Give Him your hurts.” She broke down and cried she kept saying ” thank you……. thank you……. thank you..” over and over as she broke down and let the tears run.

    There are many who don’t have hope but when they see love given to them without merit they can see Jesus is there,

    As a believer it is in this very nature that we can share with others courage in dark times, it is by abiding in Christ that we are able to give that full divine sympathy.

    She was not saying thank you to me…it was Christ love through me that gave her hope and understanding. I was just the vessel He used.

    To share God’s light in the darkness is not about how we give. It comes from our hope in Him, it’s the courage He gives us that we are able to share with others living there, as we once did.

    The love of God will flow through us even in the harshest conditions. The work is great and there are many who need words of cheer, this will be what gives them courage to move away from darkness and into the loving arms of Christ, they need prayers when they don’t know how or where to start, so stop and pray for them. Your prayers are bringing them to Jesus.

    Even though the world is wrapped up in darkness – we can light it up with the the truth of Gods love. He is not against us, He is for us.

    This is the fulfillment of Gods law. Romans 13:10

    In Christ love, Amen
