This is my final letter. But this one is special, because this letter is to my loving Father. The reason live breathe and have my being. 

A letter from me, your beloved friend, to you, my dear audience. 

Sometimes life feels dull. Sometimes it feels like a drag. So what do you do in those times?  What do you do when life feels like you're surviving rather than living? Here's GOD's letter of encouragement, of guidance on what to do. 

You've planned the course, you sought the Lord and did everything you're instructed to do, but still everything goes left instead of right. What do you do? What do you do when nothing goes according to plan? Here's GOD's letter, a guide, to us about what to do. 

We read about the kingdom of GOD alot in the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, but the question is what is it? What does it entail? We know it is not a mtter of eating and drinking, according to the book of Romans. So then what is it ? 

Matthew 4:1 "Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil." How can Jesus be tempted if He, being fully GOD, cannot be tempted, as there is no evil in him? What does the statement mean? 

Lost. Confused. Hopeless. Anxious, with no idea of who we are. We go through life just surviving and not living as GOD intended us to live. But, fret not, our beloved Father has written a letter to remind us of who we are and to affirm our identity in Christ.

Matthew 9:1-8 is a story I've always read but never understood. But GOD, our gracious Father, took the time to write a letter explaining the message hidden within.

Do you ever think to yourself, life cannot be this difficult? There's no way we are meant to wake up, work, eat, and then die. There has to be better, there has to be more, well, here is GOD's letter to you and me, giving us the solutions to all our worldly problems. 

"Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, With your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation. You have made them a kingdom and priests to serve our God." Revelation 5:9,10 

His blood is far more than a religious ritual; sometimes we must be reminded of that.
