Jesus said to his disciples: “Do not let your hearts be troubled.” (John 14:1)

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.  Through Jesus we have eternal life!  From Jesus we receive mercy, compassion, kindness, grace, peace, and a love we can’t even comprehend.  So, why are we troubled?  It’s 84 degrees in my house as the AC is broken…should that make me troubled?  Some people have nicer cars, clothes, or are more popular…should that make us troubled?  Some of your peers may get more playing time, more attention from the good looking kids, more invites to graduation parties…should that make you troubled?  You’re no longer welcomed by family, friends, and the public…should that make you troubled?  The answer to all of these questions is “no!!!”  With Jesus, all things will be well, so have faith, have trust, have hope, and have love in your heart, my sisters and brothers in Christ, and the troubles will be taken away by our LORD who loves you more than you can possibly imagine!  Amen!
