Publishers Clearing House

"Do you remember mailing a card to Publishers Clearing House, Ma'am?

"No........."

Pause........

" Well, you have won $ 3.5 million and a new car from Publisher's Clearing House. Will you be home this afternoon? Your car will be coming from Washington. But, in order for us to get your money prize to you we will need to deposit it directly to your bank account.........."

"This is a scam and I have received this call numerous times. Please don't call our UNLISTED number again."

Just think............I could have been a millionaire times over had this not been a scam.

How many of us believe everything we are told? The media has a way of twisting the truth in such a way that we don't know what to believe or who to believe; particularly during this election year.
I am so glad there is one thing we can believe and that's God's Word. I am glad when we have been burdened down with the cares of life; the loss of a loved one; trials of many kinds that we can lean on our Savior..........

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Matthew 11:28-29 NIV

And, I'm glad that when we have almost given up on humanity itself and the woes of an election year overwhelm us, God gives us a promise.

"Let him have all your worries and cares for he is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you." 1 Peter 5:7 (TLB)

And, most of all, I'm glad that He has made a way for those who believe in Him and trust Him fully to one day live with Him in those Heavenly places where the burdens of this world will be remembered no more..........

" For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16 (NIV)

"There are many homes up there where my Father lives, and I am going to prepare them for your coming. When everything is ready, then I will come and get you, so that you can always be with me where I am. If this weren’t so, I would tell you plainly." John 14:3 (NIV)
