Crescendo through life

Choosing the right is not difficult. Nor is it possible for you to sink beyond the reach of the healing arm of the Savior Jesus Christ. The renewing power of God's love and the miracle of his grace summons you to allow him to change your life for the better. There is no dream in the unfolding of time and eternity that cannot be realized. The Lord of the vineyard still stands beckoning. 

When we feel lost and without hope, we are forgetting that the Redeemer has already paid the price. Our task is to nurture our relationship with him, so that we can be healed, lifted, and edified especially in the midst of hardship.

Allow me to remind you of the beautiful sonnet "Footprints" that is so well known the original authorship of the poem is disputed, with dozens of people claiming to have penned it. Though this incident is fictional, the principle is sure and the message eternal.

This popular text describes a dream in which a person is walking on a beach with God. Two sets of footprints appear in the sand in their stead. The tracks pass through various stages of this person's life. Looking back at the difficult times in life, the two footprints change to just one, especially at the lowest and most hopeless moments of the character's life. Believing that God abandoned his follower during those challenging times, the person questions God "Why when I needed you the most would you leave me?" God responds "During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

He will never forsake us. He waits for us to accept his gift.

It Is Never Too Late
