While on a short break this week, my wife and I visited an ancient church building,the completion of this magnificent structure goes back to the 15th century. It holds about 600 people ,although the attendance now is much smaller,the uncle of Lord Nelson and family are buried there.The cost of running these ancient buildings especially this one is considerable,within a corner of this building there is place where things are sold. I got into conversation with the lady who worked there on a voluntary bases,once a week,prayerfully I asked her a question,did she know the Lord?,to this she replied no.There followed a short conversation on the importance of knowing Him,one of the things I said to her about the Lord,He will only do you good.I believe that is important to remember that the Lord wants whats best for us,when we come to the Lord,we can truly say goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives [Psalms23 v6]. It is true that many people think that the Lord wants to rob them of joy,when in actual fact he wants to give us joy unspeakable,they think that He wants to take away pleasure from them,instead He wants to give us pleasures for evermore [ Psalm 16 v11]. It seems that they think that He wants them to go to Hell,when in fact His hearts desire is that they should be,saved from Hell and go to Heaven [Psalm23 v6]
A prayer...../Dear God open the eyes of the blind that they see the riches of Your grace in Jesus Amen /
