I normally don't watch the news. It just seems to bother me to much. To see all the pain in the world. People hurting all over the earth, from different things. Children being taken form loving parents and killed by someone with a depraved mind. Or taken by some evil person and sold to a sex market. Parents beating their children. Parents locking children up in a room, never letting them see the light of day. And people for the sake of a few thousand dollars killing women and children as was in the case of Jennifer Petit and her two daughters whom were on the news yesterday.

I prayer so intensely for the survivors of that family. I cried as I talked to God of how evil this world was.

Most people sit back in their homes and never think about the misery that is going on in the world we live in. The pure evil that abounds in our own neighborhoods. Drug dealers trying to seduce our children and grandchildren into trying their poisons just the one time. Over and over again they sell their promises of a good time, to younger and younger kids.

There's go much more, so much evilness in the world, it would take me the rest of my life to tell of it all.

And yet, There is still joy to be found. The look on a mother's face as she looks for the first time on her new Born's baby's face. The feeling one gets when achieving victory over something hard worked for. The feeling of love that comes from family and friends.

But most of all the joy we Christians feel from knowing that we are redeemed by God's own Son, Jesus Christ. That's the greatest joy of all.

If I had to look at this world, and did not know Jesus Christ as my Savior and friend. I don't know that I could bare it. No wonder there are more and more depressed people in the world. As more and more look other places than Jesus, for their help and hope. I'll say it again and again, Jesus Christ is the only way to the Heavenly Father.

Now let me ask you this. Do you really want to gamble with your one chance of eternal life, trying to find a way that is not there?
Matthew 7:(13) Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the WAY, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat (14.) Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Until next time God bless.
