Remembering 9/11

I put a flag in my window this morning in hopes people would see it and remember. Remember that horrible day eight years ago. The helpless feeling of wondering if that day would be your last, wondering if you would ever see those you loved again, if our country would ever recover from this tragedy.

How many of us cried out to God for mercy that day? How many of us realized just how blessed we were when we felt the threat that all we had could be taken away?

If you’re reading this, you survived 9/11, but it is still true: none of us knows which day could be our last, which goodbye to a loved one could be the last, or when anything or everything we have could be taken away from us.

Everything, that is, except God. If you have Him, you have something that cannot be taken away from you. You could be forbidden from reading the Bible or praying, but God will still be there. You could even be killed for what you believe, but you will spend eternity with Him. If you know Him. If Jesus is your Savior, you have the greatest possession of all, and you will never lose Him.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16
