I must admit I have been struggling lately. I have made so many mistakes in my past I am terrified of making another. It has kept me locked up, unable to move forward for fear of making yet another mistake.
But today God has given this scripture to reassure me… and restore my hope: “For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has give me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.” John 6:38-40
Of course, all of that scripture gives me hope and joy, but what is really resonating with me today is “I shall lose none of all those he has given me”. Jesus won’t lose me. I don’t need to worry or fret. The Perfect One, Who knows me and loves me… will not lose me! He knows how to reach me. He knows how to teach me. He’ll keep on guiding and molding me… moving me along His path. And if I misstep or get off course… He will not lose me! He’ll bring me back! He’s my Savior, not once, but time and time again! He keeps saving me from my mistakes, saving me from doubt and fear, saving me from this tormenting mind, saving me and delivering me from any darkness that comes over me.
Jesus is… “The light (that) shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not (and will not) overcome it.” John 1:5
Thank you, Father God,
for this most precious gift…
the gift of our Savior… Jesus Christ!
