One on One with Jesus

Another week is winding down. Another week in my short long life. I am tired of this place. I am more than tired of this time. It has been especially horrible since 2020. I look around and I don't recognize the world anymore. I don't recognize life on Earth anymore. The only thing good about it is the God that most everyone rejects. Of course, I should be thanking him for his patience with the hordes of sinful people he is still hoping may turn from their wicked ways and seek him, and I get that. People, places and things are just not what they used to be. But it is not like anything before in my lifetime and it's a great challenge on one hand, and a horrible struggle on the other. That is natural, you say. It's always been this way, you say. You can say what you like. It has never been this way before. The good news is that Jesus hasn't changed. Jesus is still the Savior of the world. Jesus is still working. His word is still true. My future is still with him. The things that are unfolding in the world are completely understandable in the light of Holy Scripture. I am too tired to delve into the End Times, plus that is not my area of expertise. Plus, nobody cares what I think. Now, that is one thing that has always been that way. God says to do everything as unto him and not unto man. So whatever ends up in these posts is for him. I will not try to think up something that will please someone. I live for one reason: to be a bearer of the truth of Jesus Christ. The more I write about Bible, Christianity, faith, God and Jesus, as WordPress describes many things I write, the fewer people read it. I don't care. I am just showing up. That's all I'm doing. I am not trying to impress anybody. I am a little upset that I didn't fall asleep when I tried to earlier, because I'm going to Wednesday night meeting in less than an hour, but I may try one more time. I don't know why people do what they do. I don't know why they act like they act. And I am tired of trying to figure anything out, to tell you the truth. Sometimes you just have to live one on one with Jesus. And that's what I plan to do. Maybe I'm going through another "dark night of the soul." Maybe I'm just having a bad day. Maybe I'm just tired. Maybe all of it, maybe none of it. But I'm going to look at it as just another opportunity to trust God, because he is trustworthy. No one else in the whole world might be, but he is. I am thankful for every one of the very few people who read these posts. You don't have to read them. You have other things to do. So, thank you. I don't know everyone out there in Cyberspace. (Can you believe that was the one word the speaker at the university where I got my doctorate spoke at the commencement celebration?) Cyberspace. Whoop de-do. That's right. That's what he said. I would still rather sit down and have a conversation with a human being, even on the phone. That was still a good invention. I mean the telephone. Not the "smart" phone. One on one with Jesus. And getting together with other believers as often as possible because the world has indeed gone mad. Let us love one in another. Thanks for listening.
