When Adversity Comes Your Way

I often hear discussions about diversity… Very seldom do I hear people talk about adversity. I’m talking about what to do when “the chips are down.” When someone’s lonely… And, “there’s not a friend to be found. I’m thinking about the heart growing “weary and sad.” When someone has lost “everything they had…” As so many have sought, “The American dream…” They wake up one morning and have “lost everything.” What does one do in a situation like this? When everything seems to be “one big mess?” There’s one who can bring hope to a desperate situation. All he needs is a “heart-felt invitation!” His name is Jesus! And he really wants you to know… He can speak peace to your life… And make you whole! Though many things in your life may have been taken. With Christ on board… You’re never left or forsaken! Lay your every burden and worry at his feet. Only he can restore you and make your life complete! By Jim Pemberton 04/22/10
