Allow Him.............

My heart is heavy tonight as I just received word of a drunken driving accident that killed two people on the Navajo reservation this evening.  Who is exempt from this evil?  What horrible consequences will come for this drunken driver?  Where can one run when the addiction of alcohol is pulling at their soul?  When will the destruction end?  Why does this have to be? 
So many questions, so few answers…..but there is one answer; one answer that can make a difference in the lives of those hurting tonight.  There is one answer that can push back this darkness.  There is one answer that can stop this destruction.  There is one answer and that one answer is found in God’s Word.  That one answer is a personal relationship with Jesus. 
A personal relationship with Jesus brings life, not death (II Corinthians 5:17).  A personal relationship with Jesus brings purpose to life, not hopelessness (Colossians 1:27).  A personal relationship with Jesus brings Joy, not despair (Psalm 33:21).  A personal relationship with Jesus brings power into your life, not weakness (Acts 1:8).  A personal relationship with Jesus brings eternal life, not eternal damnation (John 3:16). 
Everyone reading this Blog has tragedy in their life that brings so many questions.  Please, please, please, run to Jesus, not to alcohol.  Allow Him to give you answers.  Allow Him to give you hope.  Allow Him to give you joy.  Allow Him to give you power.  Allow Him to give you eternal life.  Just please, allow Him……………….
Encouraging You In Christ!
All Praise, Honor and Glory to God!

  1. So heart-wrenching, yet so hopeful. It's bittersweet when tragedy and beauty clash. When God's heart prevails in the midst of despair. I love this post and your burden for it all!
