Help me!


“Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?” Romans 7:24

“And Peter answered Him and said, ‘Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.’ And He said, ‘Come!’ And Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But seeing the wind, he became afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, ‘Lord, save me!’ And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him and said to him, ‘O you of little faith, why did you doubt?’” Matthew 14:28-31

“And Jesus said to him, ‘If You can!’ All things are possible to him who believes.’ Immediately the boy’s father cried out and began saying, ‘I do believe; help my unbelief.’” Mark 9:23-24

“And He said to them, ‘Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it shall move; and nothing shall be impossible to you.’” Matthew 17:20

Yet, for all we believe, we still do not have victory over sin. That victory belongs to Jesus Christ. God knew we were helpless in the face of sin. Why else would He sacrifice His only Son to save us for Him? That is the lesson of true love.

Know His Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene

PS: New: Legend (father is dying with cancer, mother is near death and he now awaits tests for his own cancer). Ongoing Requests: Australians and support workers still dealing with aftermath of natural disasters (fire and floods). God’s hand on USA. Barb to find the new WORK God has for her; Billy and Michelle for recovery; wisdom for doctors caring for Doris, David, Bill, Denny, Gary, Michael & Adrian. New work projects for me.
