All I Want from Life

I don't want too much in this life. The older I get the more I realize I have everything I need for time and eternity, in my relationship with God. He has given me all I need, providing work and every necessity for 45 years. The only thing I really want now is to see my loved ones come to Jesus. Estrangement has come against me in my relationship with one immediate family member, and division over politics with another one that, while not so critical, is still very sad and difficult to deal with, because this latter has been my nearest ally, my closest friend for most of my life until about 2020. I do not want to delve into the intricacies of that situation, but most of you may have a hint of what I am referring to. Some of you may be experiencing something similar, and, therefore, would be quite familiar with the ache of these bruised relationships. The bruised relationships, I believe, are simply a part of the enemy's plan to destroy our faith and our life if possible. The antidote for that is the truth of God's word, the comfort and encouragement of Scripture. I know that God hears our prayers, and I know that he works in response to them, in fact, he is the Author of them. He loves these family members even more than I do and he wants them to come even more than I want them to come, so we are yoked together in this. I know that God can be trusted, and, really, that's all I need to know, in times like this.
