Pain to Blessing
My sister, Janie, is having surgery soon. Mom is going out to Colorado to help her through the recuperation. Dad and I can help by sending Mom who is a pro at caring for her girls. Mom will be sure Janie has everything she needs and will help her do what she cannot do for herself. Janie is not looking forward to the pain of surgery, but she is looking forward to feeling better.

Shining Glory
Across from my breakfast table is a window which overlooks a big oak tree. Since we get up early, it is still dark outside. I know there is a tree out there, but only a dim outline can be seen. Little by little, I begin to see the shape of a tree. When the sun is fully shining on it, that tree is beautiful with an orange glow. However, it does not come into view the minute I sit down. It takes time for the tree to appear, but after I finally see its full beauty, it is well worth the wait.

How does the Bible describe Hell?
The devil is very sly in how he aims to redirect men, women, and children away from the need of the hour. One of his most common deceptions is to strive to convince both the unbeliever (irreligious and religious) and the true believer (Luke 22:31-32; Ephesians 6:13-17) that things are just not exactly how the Bible depicts them. He whispers that the Bible is archaic, full of errors, the source of legend and myth . . . and if you are not persuaded, he will aim to convince you that God is a hard Master (Matthew 25:24), or even worse, an unreasonable party-pooper (1 Peter 1:16).

True Rest
Sometimes, we think that when we have accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we will finally be “happy”. We will not have that empty feeling anymore and all our troubles will go away. However, salvation does not automatically equal satisfaction.
