Hello, God. It's me, Mara.

Oh, Lord, You know the good and bad about every single one of us, and after reading this passage in Psalms, it seems like, here we go again. We read: “What fools the nations are to rage against the Lord! How strange that men should try to outwit God!” Psalm 2:1

If we’d just give it some thought, we’d know that our deception is useless; for You, oh Lord, have made us. You know our beginning from our end. You know our very hearts, our deepest thoughts; You know our hearts and our dreams. You know the good and the bad about each one of us. You already know our innermost sins, be they black and most horrible; but You have told us that You will forgive all of our sins and forget them. All we need to do is ask You for forgiveness. Salvation is so simple for You have thrown us a lifeline, Lord, please help us to desire to grab hold of it

“Oh, kings and rulers of the earth, listen while there is time. Serve the Lord with reverent fear; rejoice with trembling. Fall down before His Son and kiss His feet before His anger is roused and you perish. I am warning you — His wrath will soon begin. But, Oh, the joys of those who put their trust in Him!” Psalm 2:10-12.

Helen Steiner Rice wrote: “God’s love is like an island in life’s ocean, vast and wide — a peaceful, quiet shelter from the restless, rising tide. God’s love is like a beacon burning bright with faith and prayer, and through the changing scenes of life, we can find a haven there.”

Lord, thank You for Your love, help us to choose the best, to grab hold of the Lifeline of Salvation before it is too late.

Love, Mara.
