Six Hours One Friday

I am reading a book by Max Lucado right now. Six Hours One Friday. It is a wonderful book. I am learning so much as I go through it. I just wanted to share what I have been given so far from this book.

Our lives are not an accident. We are all here for a reason. Sometimes only God knows the reason why, but we need to trust that He does and will use us to do His work when He needs us. We need to be open to His voice and His will.

No matter who we are and what we do, He loves us. None of us are insignificant. Max Lucado talks about "Anchor Points".

The first is "My life is not futile". He says someone (God) is in control and you do have a purpose.

The second is "My failures are not fatal". No matter what mistakes you make, He still loves you. You know hate the sin, love the sinner. It does not matter what anyone else says, know that God loves you no matter what you do.

The third is "My death is not final". No matter what happens here, we can know where we're am headed. Death is not final, the stone was rolled away and now it is an anchor. It is anchored to Christ. We keep our eyes on Him and doing His will and our anchor holds fast. The seas of life and mistakes can not drown us.

I hope you find time to read this book. God is speaking to me with every word in it. I hope it impacts you as it has me.
