Youll never walk alone if you have Jesus in your heart and your hand in His; yo

always have company and love. No matter where you are, you are in His hands

and Hell take care of you. Jesus is the one possession youll never have to give

never have to leave behind, never lose. You can give Him away as much as you

but youll always have Him. He will always be near. 3David Brandt Berg

By Swati Sanklecha

Necessity is the mother of invention, Plato wrote.1 Others have since added that necessity is also th

mother of reinventionmeaning that new challenges give birth to progress in new directions. Thatcertainly has proven true during the economic upheavals of the past couple of years. Forced from th

relatively comfortable positions in the former status quo, many people have reinvented their busine

or found promising new careers in fields they never would have considered otherwise. Others have

reexamined their priorities and are now focusing on things they used to think they didnt have much

time for, such as family, community service, charity work, further education, or spiritual pursuits.

If youre looking to reinvent yourself during an economic downturnor any time, for that matter

Jesus is a master at that. The Bible promises, If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things ha

passed away; behold, all things have become new.2

If youre having trouble believing

that God can help you overcome past

mistakes and present difficulties, it ma

be because you havent yet received

Jesus into your heart. You can do that

right now by praying the following

prayer:

Dear Jesus, thank You for dying for m

so I can have eternal life. Please forgive

me for every wrong and unloving thing I

have ever done. Come into my heart, giv

me Your gift of eternal life, and help me

know Your love and peace. Thank You fo

hearing and answering this prayer and f

being always with me, from this momen

on. Amen.

W I N G S O U T O F W E I G H T S

No matter what obstacles you face in

life, there is a way to live above them.

God gives His children wings whenthings get to be too much. Wings are

born out of weights.

Theres a sort of devilish gravitation

in this old world that daily strives

to pull us down. But theres also an

upward pull that can lift us up to the

very heart of God. Those who wait

on the Lord shall renew their strength

they shall mount up with wings like

eagles.2Those who wait in the Lordspresence, in prayer and in His Word,

rise to realms of peace and rest.
