It Starts With

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16

If they are afraid, then give them comfort. It starts with, "for God so loved the world..." It seems so simple, and yet we often forget that we are the comforters along with the dear Spirit of God who is the Comforter. We cannot do anything without the Lord, but with His Spirit in us we do everything with the Lord. With panic all around us, we have good reason to spread the good news. Also, we can comfort one another, as we too might feel the stirrings in the flesh of revulsion and panic over the spread of this latest disease. Christians in ye olden times often gained great witness for the Lord by comforting the sick and dying even during tymes of, tymes?, rampant plague. Our opportunity is upon us! 

Why are they cancelling all the events? I have been reading the second of my historical books on the influenza pandemic of 1918, and one thing not always done in those days was to cancel big events such as parades. It cost them dearly and we remember from the stories handed down to us by our grandparents of the horrors seen in that pandemic. Let them cancel the events, and let us pray with them at every opportunity. 

For God so loved me and you too!
