I’m sorry for my silence over the past few weeks. This has been partly due to my having a nasty
virus which dragged me down. It is at
times like these that we find how our outlook on life can become quite
negative. The Lord we honour and love in
normal times can seem far away when our health is affected. But we know that God does not change and He
is still looking after us and caring for us just the same as always. The old christians used to talk about our “frames,”
meaning frame of mind and how changeable they are, but God does not
change. We may not feel this truth when
we are low but we can still declare it to be true thus showing our belief. Belief isn’t a cosy feeling it is a
determined declaring of what we believe.
But then, of course, it is easy for me to say this now that I feel
better. I hope you will be encouraged to
know that just because you feel bad it doesn’t mean that your position with God
has in any way changed from when you felt well.
God loves His children because He loves them and not because of anything
they do for Him.
When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
