Stay

Now I am going to try to start writing some small letters of encouragement for you all to read. I was listining to Jeremy Camp and his song Stay came on and I started thinking about how we need to stay close to God. Through all that this life throws at you God is still there and he still loves you. Many times I do not feel like God is there, I feel completly stranded and alone but God is there. Mathew 24:13 says "He that endureth unto the end, the same shall be saved." So if we stick with it and just hang on through this life there is going to be a great reward on the other side. But we need to serve God because we love him and because he died for us, not because we just want a reward. I have a brother in heaven and I want to go there to see my brother again but that need not be my number one reason to want to go, God needs to be. So when school starts back and you all start feeling the pressure from your friends and from others to do what's not right remember Mathew 24:13 and just say "no thanks, I'll pass" and go on. Stick with God because he will be the best friend you will ever have.
