The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

2 Timothy 1:12-14. “For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed;

for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I

have entrusted to Him until that day. 13 Retain the standard of sound words which you

have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 14 Guard, through

the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you.”

Whatever troubles we encounter in life, the LORD knows about them and is able to

deal with them. We just need to remember that He is there and more powerful than

any and all the difficulties we face. Our responsibility is to “retain the standard” He

has set before us. We do this by believing His Word above the troubles that we

encounter. Always remember that you are not alone. When you were saved, the

LORD gave you the Holy Spirit to live within you, and He is the One who guards

the treasure the LORD has given you.

Love the LORD! Believe His Word! Trust His power! Be assured of His love for you!

Sometime ago, I read of a remarkable rescue at sea. Storms rocked the boat and

Its occupants! The boat’s radio had quit working. Food had dwindled. Everything

looked hopeless. But the persons on board never gave up. Ultimately, they were seen

and rescued. And so it is with God. You may “feel” alone, but you never are. Do you

believe this? You had better. It is your only hope.

We love you –each and every one. Oh, and we pray for you, too,

Nana & Dado III
