In light of current world affairs, the term sticking together comes to mind. How many of you have an important person in your life? Someone you couldn't imagine being without? Someone you love with all of your heart?
Your hearts have held onto a promise to stick to each other like glue. Am I right?
The buddy system is very helpful in traveling through this life. No one should ever walk the path alone.
However, as I lead into my message today...
The fact that we are human and are naturally drawn to this world leaves room for us to often be stuck like glue to the all of the wrong things...(in this regard, words from the world that give us happiness instead of joy, distraction instead of peace, fear in place of concern. (There's a vast difference between fear and concern)
Now, in thinking again of your important someone...not only SHOULD you lean on them for support...but most of all, you should know that Jesus wants to stick like glue to you, too. He wants to spend time with you. His desires are to fill your heart with the peace and joy of His presence. He desires to teach you His ways and to show you what true unconditional love is. He wants to be that friend your heart so desperately needs.
"A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity." (Proverbs 17:17 KJV)
Allow Him to clean off the dust and the dirt from your life and to cover you with His mercy and grace. His presence will never falter. His saving grace will forever keep you. His love will give you strength for each and every day.
"But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible." (Matthew 19:26 KJV)
Through it all, make sure you stick like glue to Jesus.
