On encouragement

Dear sons,

When you look at your many sins, your weak flesh, a tempting world, a busy devil working hard to win your heart, you might want to give up, and find many times that you are losing hope, that the battle is to hard, that the enemy is too strong and that your sins are too many. At these times, seek God more earnestly, seek Him to find strength; look at the Saviour, praying to the Father for you; think of His blood, His sacrifice, His righteousness, see him crucified and carrying your sin, and sitting at the right hand of God and remember that He is there, is because His sacrifice was accepted by God. Pleasing to God. Seek Him and find Him victorious over sin, Satan and the world. As you feel weak (and many times you will feel his way), just keep you eyes on Jesus.

You are not alone, every Christan that has gone ahead of of has gone through this, including your mom and dad. We are not exempt from Satan's attacks, but when those attacks come, kneel before the cross, go to your secret place, where God sees and hears to your most secret thoughts. Where you can go to Him and ask him to help you pray for you to God. Tell Him that you need Him. Go to the Saviour, go to the Father that never sleeps or is too busy. Go to Him and ask.

Remember the days when we were slaves to sin, you were born sinful, remember those days when God saved you, showing you his love by saving you so young!, remember how He has kept you until now, and how He will continue to do so. Remember His faithfulness, Remember His love, remember His grace , His sacrifice and his resurrection, Remember the meaning of His blood and buying us for Him. Remember and find the courage you need, not in your own wisdom, strength or abilities, but in Jesus Christ and in Him alone.

Mom.
