If you feel like you’ve reached the end of your rope today, look up. Literally and figuratively…look up. I know you won’t literally see your Creator, but He IS up there. He isn’t down among your problems. He is the solution to your life. And even if you don’t believe your problems will ever go away, they will. Kindle your faith…and when you reach the end of your faith, you will have reached the salvation of your soul…Jesus.

Wouldn’t it be nice to experience joy in spite of your circumstances instead of misery and doubt because of them? Is that even possible? Certainly I can tell you it is, and I can give you lots of examples where that’s been true in my life. But all those stories wouldn’t change you…if you still decided to turn away from God and go it alone.

And it IS your choice. God will never force you to believe in Him, love Him, and trust Him. He knows that wouldn’t be true love. For true love to truly exist there must be the options of hate, apathy, and rejection.

The Bible talks about “receiving the end of your faith“. That simply means getting what you hoped for. If you’ve never studied and weighed the evidence for the existence of a living, loving God, I can see where it would be easy to have no hope. After all…as far as you can tell you’re heading toward a black hole of nothingness.

But once you assess the mountain of evidence that Jesus was a real person, that He truly was God in the flesh, and that He truly did die on a cross to pay your way into eternal life, your joy becomes full of glory. The glory of God, living inside your heart, overcomes the anguish of your problems. And it’s yours for the taking…at the end of your faith.

Stay tuned…
