Beautiful Revelations

     Jena sat quietly with an empty look upon her face as she stared out of the window.  The news reports playing upon her desk radio seemed to disturb her more.  Her co-workers have been recognizing signs of her personality changing.  

  She was once a bubbly person who was so full of life and happiness.  But, slowly, that began to change.  She became distant from the people that she once called her good friends.  Jena was now a loner.

  Andrea was one of the newcomers to the office.  She didn't know everyone quite that well yet.  But, she remembered how truly kind Jena was to her when she first started.  She immediately extended her hand of friendship and made her feel like she was truly welcomed.

  Andrea was surprised that no one made an effort to extend a hand of consideration to Jena.  She understood within her heart that she was probably the only Christian in the office.  She had been praying for Jena.  But, she felt that she had to do more.

  She went to see her Pastor for advice and counseling.  Andrea's Pastor was delighted at her concern for her friend.  He joined hands with her and prayed.  They both knew that the Lord would help her to reach Jena and bring her His perfect peace.

  She started out very slowly.  Andrea began having small conversations with Jena and letting her know she is there for her.  She took her out for lunches and shopping trips.  Jena began to open up a bit.  Andrea continued to pray for her.

  The two friends went to a counseling session together with Andrea's Pastor.  Jena broke down and began to cry.  She said how very lonely that she had been and how sad she had become watching the news and the world around her.

  Andrea and her Pastor smiled.  They told Jena that she didn't have to be concerned.  If she will accept the Lord as her Savior, He will govern her journey and bring her peace and joy.  He will take care of her and everything.

  Jena smiled for the first time in weeks.  She gave her heart to the Lord.  Slowly, her life filled with a perfect happiness.  She had discover beautiful revelations because of the love of a magnificent Savior and the kindness of her caring friend.

Comparisons

     Let's take a moment and look back at the status of America throughout the years.  Now, I don't mean comparing industry or innovation.  I am referring to the moral, economic, and social health of the nation that we all dearly love.

   Things have changed so drastically, and not so much for the better.  When we look at America of the past, we see many great mainstays that were the great foundation of this land.  This included a strong wholesome traditionally defined family, children who were obedient and respective of their parents and elders, people who cared about others even strangers, and a more solid financial foundation.

   Take a moment and think about how radically things have changed.  Look at the environment of say the fifties compared to now.  When we think about why things have changed so much, this can be pinpointed to one solid source.....a nation who has gone away from God.

  Do you agree?  We took prayer out of the schools.  It has now become 'politically incorrect' to even mention God.  Do we see the trend?  

  If we don't change that trend, what will the climate of the future be like?  So, how do we begin to make changes.  This can be summarized in one word God.  We need to turn back to the Lord.  We need to ask his forgiveness as a nation and pray every moment for our great land.

  The Lord is the primary leader that we so desperately need.  We need him back in the heart and center of our nation again.  So, let's go back to those simple times.  Let's clean out the cob webs and become more dedicated to the Lord.

  Remember, this is what our forefathers wanted.  Consider this, what would they think if they saw the America of today?  This fourth of July, begin your prayer regime to pray for our great land!  God bless you all!
