“When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades. Write therefore the things that you have seen, those that are and those that are to take place after this.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭1:17-19‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,

This stands out because John says, “But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one.”  How often do we have a realization of who Jesus actually is?  Do we feel unworthy of His sacrifice?  Do we feel like we don’t measure up?  Do we realize we left some opportunities on the table?  He knows us and loves us and says, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one.”  He gives us a choice to put ALL our trust in Him or in ourselves. Please pray that we and our friends put all our trust in Him. Please pray for a friend and wife who are struggling with all that comes with raising young kids.
