We had a rough morning. It started last night, and flowed into this morning. By the time we called a crisis team things were falling apart at the seams and I felt we might need to call the police. It was at that point he broke and became willing to go to the ER to get some help.
As I drove to the ER, I decided to listen to some music by Michael W. Smith. An old but familiar song came on called My Place In This World. As I listen to it, my heart was filled with compassion for all of those who are trying to find “their place in this world”.
I am fortunate to know that I am a son of God. He has sent me here as one of his children to prepare the world for the second coming of his son Jesus Christ. What is my exact mission? I don’t know. But, I have faith. I know that if I follow the promptings of his spirit I can accomplish anything God asks me to do.
There are a lot of people that don’t know the same things I know. They don’t know they are a child of God. They don’t know that that God loves them unconditionally. They don’t know that his son Jesus Christ came and paid the ultimate price them.
Oh how I wish, that as I spoke, my words were eloquent enough to touch the hearts of people. That the love of God would penetrate into their hearts and souls. That their eyes and their minds would be open. I am a man, and I cannot do that. But, I can trust that as I speak, that I am worthy to speak, that the Holy Ghost may accompany my words and touch the hearts of people.
If you want to know your place in this world, come to know God. You will come to know that you are his child. You will come to know that he loves you unconditionally. And you will come to know that His Son Jesus Christ paid the ultimate price for your sins. He bore your grief and your sorrow. All of the pain that you feel in this world can be swallowed up in his love.
I pray that you will come to know this truth. There is a place for you in this world.
