We have little to no political conversations in our house because my focus is on teaching my children what I value most in life…the love of the Lord, family, friends, education and the less fortunate in life. However, they have heard much in this area from school and others in their life. Before we went to sleep last night one of my boys was asking about a passport because people had been talking about moving to Canada. I told him not to worry because we will be protected, but I would obtain a passport for our whole family if it would make him feel better.
Then, this morning, I awoke to a message from another son that said, “He’s gonna win Mom, how could that happen.” Here was my reply, “I know baby. But that is not what is important right now. Now more than ever, you have to know that God does exist. He is going to watch over us because we are Christians. Make sure you have Jesus in your heart because this was predicted long before any of us was born. Make sure you are sharing your love of the Lord with your friends. I love you!” This is what you all should share with your children so they know God will watch over them.
I opened my bible this morning to these words from the book of Jude, and I hope you share them with your family and friends. “Dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ said before. They said to you “In the last times there will be people who laugh about God, following their own evil desires which are against God.” These are the people who divide you, people whose thoughts are only of this world, who do not have the Spirit. But dear friends, use your most holy faith to build yourselves up, praying in the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the Lord Jesus Christ with his mercy to give you life forever. Show mercy to some people who have doubts. Take others out of the fire, and save them. Show mercy mixed with fear to others, hating even their clothes which are dirty from sin. God is strong and can help you not to fall. He can bring you before his Glory without any wrong in you and can give you great joy. He is the only God, the One who saves us. To him be the glory, greatness, power, and authority through Jesus Christ our Lord for all time past, now and forever. Amen. “ Jude 17-25.
Jesus says, "Let the children come." If you don’t know Jesus as your Savior, bow your head and accept him today. God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit will watch over you.
With all my love,
Jeanette Lytle
