Anchors In My Life

I am on the last leg of reconciling the family to its whole self, and most important to God. This is a tall order nowadays. It entails big character traits, not a small amount of money, as well as, time; and a narrow focus of the goal.

Anchors to Cling to

It's fortunate that almost four years ago, I got to know Christ, the Son of God. He is the source of the three anchors I want to tell you about.

First, God is with me! I had come to believe in Christ; and have committed my whole life [and of the family] to Him. Through Him I was made a son and co-heir of God Almighty. Indeed, my whole life has changed radically with this knowledge and belief.

Freed from guilt of past wrongs, I am empowered [by Christ's Spirit, who lives within me] to live within the limits of God's sovereign and moral will. This is the hardest task a man can do, what with the pull of his fallen nature, evil opposition, and the great and numerous temptation offered by the world we live in.

Second, I am serving God. I believe I am in God's protection because of this fact. Also, I am being equipped [by Him] to handle whatever activity I am tasked with at the moment. The greatest help is that He works all things, good or bad, for my own good. What greater assurance I can get hold of to accomplish the good things I am called to do.

Third, I am God's property. So, I am in His safekeeping. He would not forsake me, not for any cause. I am certain that He has set other Christians and me apart from the unbelieving part of humandkind, for He has a specific purpose for me to do, for His praise and glory.

I Am Certain of Eternal Life

With these three anchors, I am certain I will be perfected and preserved by God till I have accomplished the task of reconciling the family.
