Prayerful Thoughts from Rusty Stephens
Heavenly Father,
For the prayer within, we pray in the name of your son our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
How many times have we heard or even said, “This is too good to be true?” In the sinful world we live in sooner or later it happens to all of us in one way or another. Perhaps we were sold on many promises about how a purchased product would function only to be disappointed with it later. Maybe the choice of someone who seemed outstandingly qualified to accomplish a task fell short or even failed altogether. Still yet life may have been going along smoothly for a lengthy time and then suddenly a time of difficulty with drastic changes brings on rough times. There are many situations happening to us that can bring out the feeling of “This was too good to be true.”
Unfortunately, Jesus, there are many people out in the world who may have the view that an eternal life in the paradise of Heaven is “too good to be true.” Perhaps doubts overtake even ones that have read about this in the Bible or heard it in church or in Christian media. It’s as if they are not trusting your words, Jesus.
For all of us who are faithful to you, Jesus, we know that Heaven exists and is guaranteed to anyone who believes in you, confesses all of their sins, and asks you for forgiveness. We are then made clean from the stain of those sins which exist no longer. Then, by remaining faithful to you, Jesus, for the rest of our lives, entry into that paradise is absolute.
The reason we know this to be true is that you, God, through your son Jesus promised this. Why would our Heavenly Father put his one and only son who he loves so very deeply though all of that suffering and to die painfully on that cross if the promise was not true? Also, God, you are truth, no lie can come from you. God cannot be in the presence of anything unholy such as the sin of a lie. No sin at all can come from you, God. Anything God promises is the truth. Finally, God, why would you promise us this heavenly paradise? Because you love all of us with such an all powerful and encompassing love; a love that cannot be fully understood by anyone on earth.
Jesus, with all of the lack of trust in this sinful world, it is so refreshing to know that we can totally put our trust in you. That trust in you, Jesus, also means we know that you will always do what is best in every situation, even though we may not be able to see it in our current vision. We thank you so much, Jesus, for that solid foundation of trust in you and of course your amazing love for us. Another fact, the term “Too good to be true” will stay behind in this world when we leave it. Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who never told a lie or sinned in any other way, will take us to that paradise called Heaven; a place of absolute truth always and forever.
Lord In Your Mercy
Hear Our Prayer
Amen.
