The Savior

"Immediately he spoke to them and said, 'Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid.' Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. They were completely amazed" Mark 6:51

In times of trouble, things can seem like they just get worse and worse; as if your efforts are meaningless and only create more chaos in your life. In the end does not the Lord see us through safely? Through tumultuous seas of temptation, burden, hardships, trials, does not the Lord see us through? Take courage, for through the hardships, burdens, temptations, trials He is teaching us. He teaches us that He is there, that if we call out to Him, He will answer: He will save us. He strengthens our faith in such a manner to show us that everything will be all right in the end, even through the worst of situations. For if we confess with our mouths and believe in our hearts that Jesus is Lord, and that God raised Him from the dead, we will be saved; through thick and thin, Don't be afraid, for He is there and the winds will die down, and we will be completely amazed.
