The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

John 8:29-30, “’And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone,

for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.’

30 As He spoke these things, many came to believe in Him.”

From the turning of the water into wine to the feeding of the 5000,

the Jews had stubbornly refused to believe that He was from God.

He quoted the Old Testament Scriptures to them and challenged

their failure of interpretation. It might have appeared to some that

Jesus was alone, but He forthrightly said, “He who has sent Me is

with Me; He has not left me alone, for I always do the things that

are pleasing to Him.”

Can you say that? Can you say that you always do the things that

are pleasing to God? I’m sorry that I cannot. While I have always

sought to live honestly and upright before Him, I have often failed.

My heart and mind have not always been pleasing to Jesus. But

when they were pleasing to Him, people believed upon Him and

were saved! Christ uses clean and pure hearts and minds to bring

the lost to Him. Isn’t that why we are here on Earth? Isn’t being

pleasing to Him what it’s all about? Pray for forgiveness of sin.

Rededicate your life to Jesus Christ. Be prepared to share your

faith with others, and just see what He will do with you!

May the LORD bless and use you is our prayer,

Nana & Dado III
