I once read that struggle; suffering and conflict are like magnets that draw us closer to God. It is not until we feel totally helpless, confused, and sometimes desperate, that we become willing or able to turn to the awesome power of life and living our creator offers us. We may know God exists. We may understand our connection to God. Yet it seems that it is not until we are down or on the way down that we invite God’s presence and power into our life. It doesn’t have to be this way. God not only offers emergence care S/he is a source of preventive care.

Your creator always wants the best for you. Your creator has a mission, plan and purpose designed just for you. Sometimes when things are going our way, when they are comfortable or easy, we forget about God. We get off track, out of line, we move away from the plan, mission and purpose. Difficulties in life are no meant to break us or break us down. Our greatest challenge may be a simple reminder, the only way we will remember that there is a higher authority to whom we are accountable. The real challenge we face is to keep God. God’s word, and God’s way in the forefront of our mind- in good times as well as bad.
