I have three granddaughters spending the day with me today. All of them girls. I have had heavy yard work, cleaning out the attic, and many other strenuous types of work, but keeping grandchildren happy takes much more work, and is very tiring. ( I wouldn’t trade it for the world!)

Speaking of physical fatigue….

There is another type of fatigue. There is mental fatigue.

We can feel drained after a bad hair day. You have been there. Your car runs out of gas. Your doctor wants to go over some blood work with you. You just lost your job.

Life isn’t always fair. It sometimes jumps up and bites you.

This is the time to turn to God. He knows your troubles. He even allows them sometimes, to help us grow. But know this:

He is always there for you.
He will never forsake you.
He will help you calm the storms.

Don’t take on this, not so friendly world, alone. Rely on God to help you through the trials.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You ar enever forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above… Never, ever, give up!

I have two of my granddaughters visiting this week. One is 14 and the other is 12. I may sound like I ma bragging, but they are very talented. Katie the oldest, plays the piano with great ease. The music is almost flawless. She also sings. She had a voice that, as it matures, will come through alike a beautiful song bird.

My other granddaughter Anna, plays the piano, sings, plays guitar, and the flute. She did a solo singing performance at a concert while playing her guitar.

Now to my main point. We all have talents. God gave each and ebery one of us a talent that he wants us to use to glorify His name.

You feel you don’t have any talents? Yes, you do. It may not n=be where you are a professional singer, or even a top piano player.

Think about even something like being an usher at your local church like I am. I am blessed to be an usher. I have had situations where I was able to help someone that was in distress.

Here is just one example:

I was passing out the collection bags to my area, when a woman handed me a note. I was very busy and didn’t take time to read it right away. When we finished with the offering, I read it. The woman wrote, “Please help me! I am desperate!”

I knew exactly what to do. I went to find “The God Squad.” That is what I affectionately call the Pastors who are in the sanctuary during the service.

I found one up in the front row. I went clear out of my way to get to him so it didn’t look too out of place. I handed him the note, and he followed me back to my area. I pointed out the woman in distress, and he waited for her after the service, They went into a quite room right off of the sanctuary.

I was told later that she accepted the LORD right on the spot.

This didn’t take much from me, but using my talent as an usher, and knowing what to do. brough another child into the Kingdom.

Look for your talent. Use it for the glory of God. Don’t think your talent is too big OR too small.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all..never, ever, give up!

Have you had someone hurt you with words? Do you feel they should be punished?

That is a common thinking process for many of us. When someone hurts us we feel the urge to get even, or try to hurt them back.

We tend to judge them as someone who will never see God or go to heaven because of their actions.

This is where we need to remember that God is the final judge. he will have His Son Jesus Christ judging people on that final day. Everything we do is written in the book of life. Every action we performed, good or bad, will be there.

Those people who wronged us will be judged, but so will we.

Our task on this earth is to forgive and forget. We shouldn’t be holding grudges against others. Let God decide on their actions at the appointed time.

Remember:

You are not alone.

You are not forsaken.

You are not unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!
