WHEN ALL HOPE IS GONE
by Lewis E. Thomas WHEN ALL HOPE IS GONE Many of us have relatives, neighbors and friends that are so bound with Sin that there seems to be "NO HOPE"!
When it comes to dealing with them and the pain they cause to everyone around them we have reached the "END OF OUR ROPE"!
A Pastor I know preached about this one day saying: "As long as they have breath in their body and a heartbeat in their chest...
God can save their soul and turn them around to "BE THEIR BEST"!
Many times we "CRITICIZE" them and say mean things about them that are not "NICE"!
That's "NOT" pleasing to God, and not helping them, and we should think about that "MORE" than once or twice!
They don't need our cutting remarks and our insults that only add to their "PAIN"!
They need us to "LIFT" their name up to God the Father in "JESUS' NAME"!
Remember the parable of the unjust Judge in Luke 18:1-7 which is a message to never give up, but to continue to "PRAY, PRAY, PRAY"!
To ask GOD without ceasing to "SAVE" those out there who are "LOST" and who have gone far astray!
If not for the "GRACE OF GOD" we could all be in their "SHOES"!
Hopelessly bound by "ADDICTIONS" to illegal drugs, pornography, weed, and booze!
Many have been the "SERVANTS OF SIN" for so long their hearts have become like a piece of "GRANITE STONE"!
They are lost sheep in the wilderness of Sin, with many living on the streets with no home!
Though their situation seems hopeless there is a "SAVIOR" in Heaven up above!
Who died on an "OLD RUGGED CROSS" to save them and to show us all that we
are "LOVED"!
I used to be a "REBEL" myself back in the day!
PRAISE GOD! HALLELUJAH!
I've been "SAVED" and "BORN AGAIN" because folks saw my "NEED" and lifted me up to God and "CONTINUED TO PRAY"!
When all hope is gone...

1 Thess 5:17
Pray without ceasing.
And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. 2 Tim 2:26
