A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted. Ecclesiastes 3:2

Man’s life was prepared with well delimited “seasons” and the Scriptures declare that there is a time for everything. Upon realizing that the time for you to walk with the Lord has come, once you seize such opportunity you will see that it’s what was missing for you to be whole. It’s necessary to be born into God’s family; otherwise you will be lost forever when you leave this world. Wise are those who accept the Lord’s invitation.

The seasons planned for man must be lived as scheduled. Those who skip any of them will find out that it wasn’t a good decision in that they won’t have the required experience to face future situations. When a Christian is put to the test, he or she is made perfect so as not to be condemned in future trials. Never run away from any ordeal because the Most High will always assist you.

Don’t retreat in the face of some new experience, don’t let trials upset you and never lose courage when being tempted, for all of them are part of the Lord’s plan for your life. With the Almighty on your side, you will succeed. The Most High has prepared good works for you to partake. Now, do not falter, but rather follow God’s direction. He who walks by faith pleases the Father!

All over the world many people go through the same problems as ours, but because they aren’t saved they don’t know how to get rid of the difficulties. However, if they knew the truth, they would know how to put an end to them. So we have to tell them about the new birth so that they become members of God’s family and then the evil no longer torments them. For those who serve God, the trial is a sign of victory!

There will come a day when we will leave this world and if we are not born again, we will be eternally away from the Lord. For this reason, lives must be saved so that they won’t march towards eternal perdition. Those who are cast into outer darkness will never have the opportunity to get out of it because their condemnation is eternal. Therefore, we must make every effort to take people out of their sinful ways.

Take all the good seed that the Lord gives you and plant it in order for it to bear good fruit. In so doing, you will have an everlasting harvest. Be sure to invest your time in the dissemination of the Gospel, so that lives can be spared from eternal destruction. Those who accept the faith in Jesus and start walking with God will thank you for having them taken to Christ because they will enjoy the love and security of the Lord forever.

Finally, manage your time well. It’s time for smiles and sheer joy. We will, by no means, stay away from what God has prepared for us. The servants of the Most High have at their disposal not only the whole divine power, but also the promise that Jesus will do whatever they ask the Father in His name (John 14:14), and they will also be able to do the same works done by the Master (John 14:12).

In Christ with Love,
