THE BIGGEST TRAGEDY
We all face tragedies in life
Loss of love ones
Our own health problems and mortality
Financial pressures
And relationship problems
But I think
The biggest tragedy in life
Is to life our entire life
Is to life our entire life
Without developing a personal relationship
With our God---with our Creator
So many of us
Live our entire lives
Without getting to know God
What could be sadder than that
In other words
We become exiled from God
By our own choosing
But for those of us
Who take the time
To get to know God
Who share the best part
Of ourselves with our Creator
The worst part of ourselves
With our creator
ALL of ourselves with our God
The rewards are NEVER ENDING
Our heart will be
Forever restless
Until we rest in you Oh Lord
“I know
That my Redeemer lives
And that in the end
He will stand upon the earth”
Job 19:25
For if we
Do not share our lives
With our God
When we do face the tragedies
Of this world
Death-illness-financial ruin
Who will we run to
Will we run away
From God
When things get tough
Or will we
Run towards God
Like Peter said to Christ,
“Where would we run to
You possess the words of eternal life” John
6:68-69
So when you
Face the tragedies
Of your life
Turn towards God
Not away from him
Don’t compound the tragedy
Turn towards God
Become even closer
KNOW him
LOVE him
SERVE him
And let him serve you
For God says,
“I will strengthen you
And help you
I will uphold you
With my righteous right hand” Isaiah
41:10
Don’t turn away
TURN TOWARDS
Don’t commit the biggest tragedy
Commit the BIGGEST ACT OF FAITH
Turn towards God
And your tragedies
Will turn into blessings
“BLESSINGS crown
The head of the righteous”
Proverbs 10:6
“I will BLESS them
And the places surrounding my hill
I will send down showers in season
There will be SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS” Ezekiel 34:26
So when you face the tragedies of
your life
Turn towards God with faith
And your biggest tragedies
Will turn into BLESSINGS
