My One Safe Place :)

A fellow Christian asked on line yesterday, “what do we do now?”  Clearly, America is not what it used to be.

Andrew Peterson has a song called “My One Safe Place”.  In the song, he sings, “You are my oasis in the eye of the hurricane”.  God IS our One Safe Place.  We need to run, not walk, to His Shelter.

And we need to Pray.  Even when we don’t “feel” like it.  Especially when we don’t “feel” like it.  And a prayer can be as simple as “Help, In the Name of Jesus”.  And that is enough.  Another great prayer is also very simple, “Thank you, In the Name of Jesus”.

We also need to look for the beauty in our world-and find it.  Because God created it.  The smile of a child.  A hug from someone we love.  The love of a mother and a father, a wife and husband, a child.  The laugh of a grandmother or grandfather.  A phone call from a friend.  A letter from someone we care about. The sun sparkling on the water creating a million lights.  The beauty of nature.  The list is endless and it is still here…

And we can be kind, especially to each other. We can smile at one another. Carry the groceries for someone elderly or sick. Reach out to a neighbor. Reach out to a stranger. Love God and Love one another.

And share the Gospel with those who want to hear the Good News. There are many searching for something to believe them, help them find the way.

America may have changed, but being a Christian has not.

Our Father is still here and He loves us.  Jesus is still here and He still saved us.  And the Holy Spirit is still here to help us. 

Despite appearances, we need not fear, for God is here and He is with us!
