Nostalgic Moments
Don’t you enjoy the nostalgia of pleasant memories, such as the beginning of a beautiful friendship?
How wonderful it is to relive the moment when Jesus called His first followers. I love to envision the sheer excitement and camaraderie that must have existed among those He called—an endless jubilee, God uniting with those He loves, ordinary human beings, you and me.
During His first interaction with His future Apostles, Jesus declares, “Come, and you will see!” How good God is! By following His way, we find the true peace that no worldly satisfaction can ever give us.
God’s love for the world indeed endures forever. Still today, know that God always sees YOU! Whether it is a time of joy or heartache, the mundane or the extraordinary, God promises He will always be there with us. Like He called Peter and Andrew by name, He is also calling YOU by name to have an ongoing relationship with Him. Through our steadfast prayers and by studying His teachings, let us always strive to be one with Jesus Christ, who is past, present, and forever and ever.
