It's Never That Bad

Hello my name is Jasper, and I greet you in the blessed name of Jesus, who is the head of my life. I love to go to the movies, I went to a movie last night and it started me to thinking the next day. The whole story started with this beautiful young woman with the world at her feet, everything to live for, but yet she tried to commit suicide. Her life to her had become so horrible, so painful, so hopeless, that she no longer wanted to live. You have teenagers committing suicide at a rapid rate today. You have people committing suicide for all sorts of reasons. But my brothers and sisters, I remind you the Lord said, "There is no situation that you can get yourself into that I have not provided a way out for you." Life should never reach a point for you where you want to end your own life. I'm sure it might feel that way at the moment because that's what the enemy wants you to feel. He wants you to feel hopeless, degraded, that there is no need to go on. BUT I say to you, the Lord your God created you for a purpose, and he will not let anything take you away from this world until you have fulfilled this purpose. So I say stop, stand still, and when you don't know what to do, don't do anything, but stop and listen. You will hear that voice come to you inside, the spirit that lives inside of you, is greater than the spirit that lives in the world. He will guide you and lead you to where you want to be. You have to have the strength and faith to hold on. My story is short and quick to the point today. Don't listen to the enemy. Don't be deceived, he is the author of the lie. Don't listen to him, instead, read your bible and find out what the true word of God is. Once you learn that, you have no need to fear the enemy. He has already been defeated when Jesus went to the cross for us. My name is Jasper. Love you.

Thanksgiving Love

Hello my name is Jasper,

I greet you in the name of my Lord and savior Jesus Christ. It looks as though the Thanksgiving holiday is here once again. What do you think of when you think of Thanksgiving? A lot of people think of how beautiful the fall season is with all of the bright colored leaves. God paints a beautiful picture for us in the fall season. Some people think of Christmas being just around the corner. Their minds are filled with how much am I going to do this year? Who do I have to buy for? They seem to be rushing around already from store to store. But me, when I think of Thanksgiving, I think of a warm, cozy home filled with wonderful smells of food and family fun. It's a time when family has time to come together and break bread and give thanks to the lord for the life he has given you. Even the word, "Thanks-giving," means give thanks for what you already have. Give thanks to the Lord for what he has done already or will do for you. Take time to pray together with your family and give thanks. It's a time to teach the little children about giving thanks and the joy of giving period. Giving of yourself, giving someone a gift when you don't have to. Thanksgiving should be a time when family comes together and loves on one another. Just eating your fill, having fun with your loved ones, and your family and being joyous. Looking forward to the new year and knowing that the almighty is on your side. That's what Thanksgiving means to me.
