NOW AND FOREVER (02-04-13)


Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

I am asking myself, why is it during the early years (meaning the very early years), a lot of martyrs and lay people are being canonized as saints.   Is it because God is closer to people back then?  Like when God could even manifest or show Himself to the prophets and the people He loves.

And why is it now, when the world’s population has grown, we would seldom see any martyrs or people worthy of being a saint.  It is because God is distancing Himself already from us?  Or is it the other way around?

We are now living in the “end times”.  Wars, famines, disasters, false prophets – Jesus has clearly prophesized that these are the signs of the coming of the end.  But, no one really knows when.

And so, Satan and his minions are really very busy (double time and overtime) to snatch as much soul as possible away from God… away from Heaven.  It is allowing Satan to come to us that is the problem.

God is Omniscient and knows all things.  Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.  He gives the same mercy and forgiveness that He promised through Salvation. 

And it us who try to disregard this truth.  It is us who try to run away from Him and the truth.  It is us who tries to hide from Him and the truth.  And it is us who are having the change of heart simply because we allow Satan to tempt us, and harden our hearts against the truth.

Pray to God… we need more of them as Satan bombards us endlessly – day and night.  Pray to Him… for only through prayers can our hearts be soften and finally allow God to enter and change us permanently and be worthy of heaven.  For we are all saints and we all belong to God.

Let us pray +

Almighty Father, let me believe in the Truth and to You alone.  Clean and soften my heart so I can serve You well now and forever.  Amen +

The Lord is my light and my salvation.
