Hello readers of Veracity.
It has been over one month since we last connected.
Thank you for always checking back to see what is going on here at Veracity.
I can't say I've been busy
I won't use that excuse.
If I may be completely honest with you
I would have to say I have been
like Jacob.
Wrestling with God.
Interesting how my oldest son Isaac
joined wrestling for the first time this year.
It was a short season, lasting of about 3 months.
It was a long and hard season on mommy (me).
A different long and hard season on him.
Jacob wrestled with God.
Jacob's name was changed to Israel
because "he had struggled with God and with humans
and had overcome. " *
I know that you have struggled just like I have
with God and humans, but have we overcome?
This is what I have been seeking God in this past month.
Have I overcome?
And
"Can Anything Good Come From Nazareth?" *
Lord, Can anything good
come from being raised as a Jehovah's Witness?
At times throughout my life
I would have been the first to say no.
Again being honest at times, there are days
my thoughts sometimes go to no.
I would never speak it out loud.
I will not give voice to such a lie.
But those thoughts do come to mind.
We all have a purpose.
We all have a voice.
We all have an opportunity
to make right what was wrong.
The good that came out of the wrong
was me finding Christ.
The good that came out of the wrong
is my heavenly hope with Christ.
The good that came out of the wrong
is I am saved by faith and not works. *
The good that came out of the wrong
is that I have been adopted into a family
God's family. *
A family that wants me, for me.
A family that loves and does not reject.
Look for the good.
Seek out the good.
Ask God about the good.
And He will say, and I can say
just like Philip
"Come and see!" *
You will see Jesus if you believe. *
And
You will overcome
because Christ has overcome the world. *
