Ups and downs

Dear TDY,

Its another week closer to the holidays!!! Haha... Don't forget to bring a friend if you are coming for this Saturday's bowling. I would love to see as many of you as possible. We are going to try to reach out to as many people as we can. :)

I was just reflecting this morning on my own bible reading about the life of David through the book of 2 Samuel. The life of King David is one that is never boring, when its good, its very good, but when he is down, he is very down. Its rather extreme, I would say. When times were good, David was conquering cities like nobody's business and people were paying him tribute and no one dared to mess with Israel. But when times were bad, things became really bad with David falling into sin by committing adultery with Bathsheeba, and then lying and then committing murder. But one thing remains constant, that God is the same yesterday, today and forever. It does not matter whatever season we are in, God is still there. 

Sometimes, when we do wrong things or sin, we feel lousy, or we even ask God 'where were you when that happened?' I want to tell you that God is still there - through your good times and your bad times, God is still there. The only difference is us, we are the variable. If we would go back to the Father's heart, no matter what we have done, there we would find rest and comfort. We need to do this as God has already taken the first step in sending Jesus. Ask God for forgiveness, press in and press on. God still loves you. 

Take care,

KKS
