It is rather easy to write a  Thankful Thursday today because we have a lot to be thankful for as believers.  How blessed we are as Christians to know our hope is in Christ!

Today is known to many as Maundy Thursday, it was the day that Jesus had the last supper with the disciples before his crucifixion on Friday.  Friday is often referred to as Good Friday, but it was certainly a day full of pain, torment and suffering for our Lord and Savior. For the believer, however, it is a good day.  A day when Jesus took on my sins, your sins and all the sins of the world.  Those sins that were, are and ever to be.

That is amazing love.  And remember the best part is Sunday is coming!  Resurrection Day!

Hallelujah.  How blessed we are on this Thankful Thursday.

Yesterday, I picked up my father’s bible and saw his hand written notes in it. For a moment, I could not believe he has been gone since November.  A wave of loss washed over me that I could never describe.  I thought to myself , God’s know my pain because he too watched his Son suffer and die.  He care about our every need…

I turned to one of my favorite books in the bible, John, and finally made my way to John 14.  

The first thing I read, which was underlined in pencil was the following:

John 14:1

Do not let your hearts be troubled, Trust in God; Trust in me.  In my father’s house there are many mansions, if it were not so I would have told you.
What is the difference between treatment with commander cialis and sex therapy? A close look at sex therapy finds considerable potential efficacy when dealing with communication problems, emotional insecurity, unresolved resentment, and inappropriate sexual meanings. Ischemic Stroke is viagra online in india a type of Brain Stroke. The problem with the sans prescription viagra issue is that you can attend the classes from anywhere across the globe. Since you are buying online, it means that nobody will track your online buy viagra generic payments and know you have transacted with the provider.
What a comfort to read this passage “Do not let your heart be trouble”  and “In my father house there are many mansions.”  To all those who have lost loved ones, it is a comfort indeed. It was so wonderful to read those words. On this Thankful Thursday, dear friends, do not let your heart be troubled, trust in God. Know our loved ones are in Heaven and know that one day we will be there too with the Father. What a gift. What a hope.  What a future we have in store for us!

I read further and the next scripture dad underlined was John 14:6

I am the way, the truth and the life.

He knew it and I am so blessed that I know it!  For all who know Christ as their Lord and savior, we know He is the way!  He is the way for help, for wisdom, for guidance, for freedom, for healing, for restoration, and for eternal life!  He is indeed the way, the only way!

As Winters writes in his book, Everyone needs a Sam, Jesus is the Ultimate Sam.  He is the guy that says I can carry you and I carry your burden too.  He is the guy you want beside you and guarding your back,  you will never find a better mentor than Jesus Christ.  I hope you know Him well and if not, I urge you to get to know this guy! You won’t be disappointed I promise.

This Easter I pray that you find your hope in Christ and Him alone and let the things of this world be less and less important.

I hope you never forget how precious you are to God, so precious that He would send His only Son to die just for you!

Be blessed and encouraged abundantly today on this Thankful Thursday  as we celebrate what Christ did for us on the Cross and the resurrection of our Lord and Savior!
