Amen, Brother Beacon and Sister Dorine!!
What if you happened to be on the most blessed planet in the universe, with the most extensive eternal benefits package all included by virtue of your great need of having been born with a fallen sinful nature and in need of Savior? Earth is that place. And Jesus is the Savior. Make Him your personal Savior today by a complete surrender of your will to Him, letting Him come and abide in your heart by faith so He may produce in you all of the fruits of the Sprit without one missing, manifest in true obedience to the law of God's love! Though the devil is doing all He can to make the song "This Is My Father's World" seem like a lie, it is all smoke and mirrors. The devil is a liar and the father of it. He tries to get you down, keep you down, and then use you to pull others down. But thank God, there are REAL STORIES of REAL PEOPLE who pressed through all the "smoke and mirrors" of the devil and came into Jesus' healing presence. The woman who but touched the border of Jesus' garments believed she would be healed. And she was. There is no limit to what Jesus can do. He is a PERSONAL Savior, who is FULLY QUALIFIED to deal with ALL YOUR DISEASES and restore you into His image!
"It is for our own benefit to keep every gift of God fresh in our memory. Thus faith is strengthened to claim and to receive more and more. There is greater encouragement for us in the least blessing we ourselves receive from God than in all the accounts we can read of the faith and experience of others. The soul that responds to the grace of God shall be like a watered garden. His health shall spring forth speedily; his light shall rise in obscurity, and the glory of the Lord shall be seen upon him. Let us then remember the loving-kindness of the Lord, and the multitude of His tender mercies. Like the people of Israel, let us set up our stones of witness, and inscribe upon them the precious story of what God has wrought for us. And as we review His dealings with us in our pilgrimage, let us, out of hearts melted with gratitude, declare, 'What shall I render unto the Lord for all His benefits toward me? I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord. I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all His people.' Psalm 116:12-14." {The Desire of Ages, page 348, paragraph 2}
We didn't deserve such amazing grace, but thank God, it has been freely given! While this earth is reeling under the curse of sin, let us ever remember the good news of the gospel of God's grace is a message that supernaturally lifts us in heart and mind above this poor, dark speck of a world and inspires our focus to be on Jesus and His most prized possession--the souls that He shed His blood to redeem!
